GTA 6 is officially confirmed to release on November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games announced this date in early 2026 via their official channels and the Take-Two Interactive investor reports.
GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been officially confirmed but is widely expected in 2027, consistent with Rockstar’s pattern with GTA 5.
GTA 6 features two playable protagonists: Lucia, a woman recently released from prison, and Jason, a criminal operative working in the Vice City underworld. This marks the first time a main GTA game features a female protagonist.
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional US state inspired by Florida. The main city is Vice City, a returning location last seen in GTA: Vice City (2002), now massively expanded to include the broader Leonida state with rural areas, Everglades-style swamps, and coastal towns.
GTA 6 Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 USD. A Premium Edition at $99.99 includes 3 days early access (from November 16) and the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack with exclusive in-game currency and items.
Official PC system requirements haven’t been confirmed yet, as GTA 6 launches on consoles first. Estimated minimum requirements include an RTX 2060 / RX 5700 XT GPU, Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, 16 GB RAM, and 100 GB storage. Use our PC Checker tool above for a personalized assessment.
The exact map size hasn’t been officially confirmed, but leaks and trailer analysis suggest Leonida is significantly larger than GTA 5’s Los Santos and San Andreas. It reportedly includes multiple cities, rural highways, swamplands, beaches, and offshore areas.
Yes, GTA Online will return with GTA 6, though details are limited. Rockstar has confirmed GTA Online will be a separate experience, with the single-player story launching first. The online component is expected to launch a few weeks after the main game.
Confirmed features include dynamic weather events including hurricanes, an evolving world that changes over time, improved NPC behavior and social systems, dual protagonist switching, enhanced vehicle mechanics, and a more detailed economy system.
As of 2026, Rockstar has released three official GTA 6 trailers. Trailer 1 (December 2023) revealed Vice City and Lucia. Trailer 2 (2024) showed Jason and gameplay glimpses. Trailer 3 (2025) gave a deeper look at the story, characters, and the Leonida open world.
