About GTA 6 — what we know so far

When is GTA 6 coming out?

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the release date as November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Console pre-load begins November 10, 2026. The date has shifted twice before (from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, then to November 2026) — all officially confirmed by Rockstar.

Which platforms?

Confirmed only for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no official PC announcement so far. Any "PC release date" circulating online is speculation, not fact — Rockstar has made no statement on this.

Who are the protagonists?

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, officially confirmed as the playable protagonist duo. Basic background and motivations for the pair were outlined in Rockstar's Trailer 1 announcement (December 2023), finding themselves caught in a criminal conspiracy after a heist goes wrong. However, mechanics like freely switching between them (like in GTA V) have not been detailed by Rockstar.

Where does the game take place?

Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida (inspired by Florida). Rockstar describes the setting as "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America". Additional district/region names (Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, etc.) circulate in the press but weren't directly confirmed in the official source checked — treat as strong rumor.

Editions & pricing

Two editions confirmed: Standard (US$79.99) and Ultimate (US$99.99, with exclusive clothing, vehicle and weapon items). Pre-ordering any edition grants the "Vintage Vice City Pack" bonus. Prices refer to console versions — no PC version has been confirmed.

What have the trailers shown so far?

Rockstar confirmed Trailer 2 (May 2025) was captured entirely in-engine, running on PS5, with "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes" — but didn't specify which scenes are which. Lists of "confirmed mechanics" circulating online are mostly fan/journalist inference from trailer frames, not official confirmation.
