GTA 6 Arrives in 17 Days: Confirmed Facts and Key Rumours Separated

With Grand Theft Auto VI now 17 days from release, gaming coverage has surged, but the gap between what Rockstar and Take-Two have actually stated and what fans have read remains wide. The November 19, 2026 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is confirmed, with no PS4 or Xbox One version. Pricing is set at $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the US, with UK prices of £69.99 and £89.99, Eurozone prices of €79.99 and €99.99, and Japanese prices of ¥9,800 and ¥12,280. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed the November 19 date on an earnings call, telling investors the company expects record net bookings in fiscal 2027, with TweakTown reporting an expected 22% increase. Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, and buyers — including digital purchasers before November 20 — receive the Vintage Vice City Pack. Preloading begins at local midnight on November 12, one week before launch. A GamesBeat report citing four anonymous industry sources suggests a PC version could follow in Q1 2027, but Rockstar has not responded to that claim. Several widely circulated details — including the Leonida setting, map size, radio stations and a phone as a physical in-game object — come from gaming outlets rather than official Rockstar channels, and should be treated as reported rather than confirmed. The source notes the game has already slipped from an earlier target, though no specific prior dates are given.
