GTA 6 release date, editions & pre-orders

When does GTA 6 release?
GTA 6 is locked for November 19, 2026. After being targeted for 2025 and then a spring 2026 window, Rockstar settled on a mid-November Tuesday — timed to capture the pre-Thanksgiving shopping surge and lead into Black Friday.
What platforms is GTA 6 on?
At launch, GTA 6 is a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced. Rockstar's pattern (GTA V, RDR2) suggests PC typically follows 12–24 months after the console launch — a second sales wave the market has not yet priced.
Editions and prices
| Edition | Price (US) | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 | Base game |
| Ultimate | $99.99 | Vehicles, weapons, apparel, story extras, a heist mission, and the pre-order Vice City pack |
Pre-orders and pre-load
Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026 across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Store, and retailers. Digital pre-orders can pre-load from November 12, 2026. The physical edition contains a download code rather than a disc — a margin win for Take-Two and a signal of the all-digital future.
What it means for investors
The console-first, disc-less, staggered-PC strategy is a revenue-optimization playbook. If you're tracking the financial side, see how to invest in GTA 6 via TTWO stock and the live catalyst calendar on the command center.
