Everything we actually know
Facts only — what Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed, clearly separated from what's still speculation.
When does GTA VI come out?
November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Take-Two has reaffirmed the date repeatedly — most recently on its August 2026 earnings call — and has $8.0–8.2B in revenue guidance riding on it. Preloading starts November 12, 2026.
Who are the protagonists?
Jason and Lucia — a Bonnie-and-Clyde pair. Lucia is the series' first female protagonist since the 2D era. Trailer 2 sets them up on the run after an easy score goes wrong, caught in a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state.
Where is it set?
The state of Leonida — Rockstar's take on Florida — centered on a modern-day Vice City. Trailer footage shows beaches, swamps, strip malls, and social-media-soaked street life, suggesting the biggest and densest map Rockstar has built.
Is there a PC version?
Unconfirmed. Rockstar has only announced PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Based on GTA V and RDR2, a PC release typically follows one to two years after consoles — but treat any PC date you see as a rumor.
How much does it cost, and is there a disc?
Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026: $79.99 for Standard, $99.99 for Ultimate. Pre-orders include the Vintage Vice City Pack and a month of GTA+. There's no disc — boxed copies contain a download code.
How does it run?
Rockstar says the game is targeting 30fps on all consoles, including PS5 Pro. A 60fps option at launch or later hasn't been ruled out, but hasn't been promised either. The 27-minute Extended Look was captured on a base PS5.
What about GTA Online?
GTA VI launches as a single-player experience, per Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick in September 2026, with no microtransactions at launch. A new online mode hasn't been detailed; the existing GTA Online keeps running.
