Rockstar and Take-Two are still publicly pointing to November 19, 2026 for *Grand Theft Auto VI*, and neither company has issued a newer date. (rockstargames.com) Rockstar moved the game first to May 26, 2026 on May 2, 2025, then pushed it again to Thursday, November 19, 2026 in a Newswire post on November 6, 2025. Rockstar said the extra months were needed to finish the game with the level of polish players expect. (rockstargames.com 1) (rockstargames.com 2) Take-Two repeated that same November 19, 2026 date in its fiscal second-quarter release, with Chief Executive Officer Strauss Zelnick saying the company remained “excited and confident” about the launch. That matters because Take-Two reports to investors on a schedule, and those filings are where release plans usually get corrected if they are slipping. (take2games.com) (ir.take2games.com) The release-date story has changed twice in the last year. Trailer 1, published on December 4, 2023, said the game was coming in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S before Rockstar narrowed the window and then delayed it twice. (take2games.com) (rockstargames.com) Rockstar’s current product page is built around Jason, Lucia, Vice City, and the state of Leonida, and it still lists the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S rather than personal computers. Rockstar has not announced a PC release date on that page. (rockstargames.com) Rockstar also used its second trailer rollout in May 2025 to open wishlisting, with Take-Two saying the game would soon be available on the PlayStation and Microsoft stores. An Xbox store page is now live, another sign that platform plans remain centered on current-generation consoles. (businesswire.com) (xbox.com) The marketing gap before Trailer 2 was not accidental. In a March 2025 interview, Zelnick said Take-Two prefers to release marketing materials “relatively close” to launch, rather than map out a campaign too far in advance. (ign.com) That helps explain why fans keep treating every screenshot, store listing, and trailer frame like evidence. Until Rockstar posts another delay or opens preorders with a different date, November 19, 2026 is the official answer. (rockstargames.com)
