Summary
- GTA 6 launches globally on November 19, 2026, on current-gen consoles.
- The game boasts a reported development budget exceeding USD 1 billion.

Rockstar Games has confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI will launch globally on November 19, 2026. This date follows internal adjustments to its initial 2025 release window, aiming for maximum polish on the massive open-world title. The game will initially be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC release anticipated much later, potentially in 2027 or 2028.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the November 2026 timeline. A comprehensive marketing campaign, including new trailers and gameplay reveals set in Leonida (a Vice City reimagining), is scheduled to start in summer 2026. GTA 6 is reportedly one of the most expensive entertainment projects ever, with a development budget over USD 1 billion.
While official pricing is unconfirmed, retail leaks have hinted at a standard edition cost around USD 124.19 (89.99 Pound). Analysts suggest this could indicate a shift towards higher AAA game prices, with figures between USD 80 and USD 100 being discussed. Speculative Indian pricing ranges from INR 5,999 to INR 7,299, with premium editions likely exceeding INR 12,000.
The game will feature dual protagonists, Lucia and Jason, in a narrative echoing a "Bonnie & Clyde" style. Gameplay is expected to be more immersive than GTA V, featuring enhanced stealth and a persistent online experience, on a map twice the size of Los Santos. Rockstar is prioritizing quality over rushed release, learning from past "AAA" launch issues.
