When does GTA 6 release?
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCEDRockstar Games has given Grand Theft Auto VI a release date of November 19, 2026. Dates on games of this size have moved before, so treat it as the current official date rather than a promise.
Which platforms is it coming to?

Is there a PC version?

Where is it set?
