GTA 6 releases on 19 November 2026

Our assessment

This is the confirmed launch date, announced directly by Rockstar Games in November 2025 and reiterated in Take-Two investor communications. It is the reference point every other date claim on this tracker is measured against. The date moved twice before landing here — see the timeline for the full delay history. For context, GTA 5 shipped in 2013, making the wait between mainline entries the longest in the series history, which is why the confirmed date draws such scrutiny and why we anchor every other date claim to it. If you are planning around launch, treat 19 November 2026 as firm but keep an eye on the timeline page, which logs every official date change the instant it happens.
