GTA 6 release date confirmed for November 19, 2026
Rockstar has finally pinned down the one date the whole industry has been circling. Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We have watched this one slip more than once, so here is the short, honest version of where it stands, with no hype attached.
The date is official, not a rumor
The November 19, 2026 date comes straight from Rockstar's own Newswire, and Take-Two backed it up in its financial guidance, telling investors it expects record results in its 2027 fiscal year "driven by the Nov. 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto 6." When a publisher puts a date in an earnings outlook, that is about as locked as these things get.
It has been a long road to get here. GTA 6 was first aimed at 2025, then moved to spring 2026, and finally to this November. Rockstar framed the last delay plainly: the extra months were there "to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve." We would rather wait for a finished game than rush a broken one, so this lands fine with us.
What you can play it on
At launch, GTA 6 is a console game:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X and S
There is no PC version on day one. A PC release is widely expected later, which matches how Rockstar handled GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, both of which reached PC months after their console versions. Rockstar has not announced a PC date, so we are not going to pretend one exists.
How to pre-order
Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox editions are already live, including on Amazon. If you want the disc in hand on launch day, this is the simplest way to lock it in. One genuinely useful detail: Amazon's pre-order price guarantee means that if the price drops at any point between when you order and release day, you are charged the lowest price, not the one from the day you ordered. You are not betting against a future discount.
Pre-order
Grand Theft Auto VI is open for pre-order now on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, set for the November 19, 2026 release.

What about GTA 6 codes?
This is a codes site, so it is worth saying plainly: Grand Theft Auto does not hand out redeemable codes the way the games we cover do. There is no code box to paste a freebie into. What GTA has instead is GTA Online, where Rockstar runs weekly in-game events, bonuses and the occasional login reward. If any of that shows up at launch, or if Rockstar surprises us with official pre-order bonuses worth claiming, we will write it up.
In the meantime, the games that actually do reward codes are the ones we live on. If you came here for free in-game loot, the game codes hub is the place to start. Titles like Blox Fruits and Grow a Garden drop new working codes constantly, and we cross check every one before it goes live.
We will keep this page updated as Rockstar shares more on editions, pre-order bonuses and the eventual PC release.
