GTA 6 Release Date, Editions & Price — Everything Confirmed

16 September 2026 · 3 min read · Gaming

GTA 6 releases on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Standard Edition costs £69.99 / $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition £89.99 / $99.99. Rockstar has not announced a PC, PS4 or Xbox One version. Everything below is confirmed by Rockstar and Take-Two — no rumours.

After one delay from an earlier 2025 target, Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick has publicly reaffirmed the November date and the studio has it on record in its financial filings, so this is as firm as a Rockstar date gets. Here are the key facts at a glance.
