Frequently Asked Questions

Official release details and how this countdown works

When does GTA 6 release?
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games announced the date alongside pre-order details on June 18, 2026. The release applies to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC release date has been confirmed. This countdown uses that official date and updates in real time until launch day.
Is the November 19, 2026 date official?
Yes. Rockstar confirmed November 19, 2026 in an official Newswire post when pre-orders were announced. Earlier marketing referenced a broader fall 2025 window before Rockstar delayed the game to May 2026 and later set the November 2026 date. We only display dates Rockstar has published publicly.
Which platforms will GTA VI be on at launch?
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S are confirmed for day one. Store pages are live on both platforms. Rockstar has not announced a PC version or last-gen console support. If that changes, we will update this page and the release details section.
When do GTA 6 pre-orders open?
Pre-orders begin June 25, 2026, per Rockstar’s June 2026 announcement. Pricing has not been revealed yet. Retailers and first-party stores typically open listings on the same day Rockstar activates pre-orders. Check Rockstar Newswire and your platform store for regional availability.
How does this countdown timer work?
The timer counts down to midnight in your local timezone on November 19, 2026. It recalculates every second using your device clock. Fullscreen mode hides navigation and ads so you can keep the timer on screen. You can also add the release to Google Calendar or download an .ics file from the hero section.
Is this site affiliated with Rockstar Games?
No. GTAVI Countdown is an independent fan project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. All trademarks belong to their owners. For official news, visit rockstargames.com/VI and Rockstar Newswire.
Where does the news on this site come from?
News cards summarize announcements from Rockstar Newswire and other public sources. Each card links to the original article for full context. We write short on-page summaries so you can scan updates without leaving the countdown, but the linked sources remain the authority.
Will the release date change again?
Only Rockstar can change the date. GTA VI was delayed before, so fans should treat any future change as possible until launch. If Rockstar posts an update, we will adjust the countdown, calendar files, and release section. Follow Rockstar Newswire for the first official notice.
