01

The date on the calendar

Rockstar currently lists 19 November 2026 for GTA VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is a scheduled date, not a guarantee that every region unlocks at the same instant. The official site and your platform storefront take priority if details change.

02

What our countdown does — and does not — mean

The timer uses 00:00 UTC on the announced date as a transparent reference point. It is not an official unlock schedule. When that reference passes, the site asks you to check official availability instead of automatically declaring the game released.

03

Pre-load and buying decisions

Rockstar's support page currently lists pre-loading from 12 November at local midnight for eligible pre-orders. Before purchasing, check the current edition, region and delivery details in the official support article and your platform store. We do not sell game keys.
