Rockstar Sets GTA VI for November 19, 2026
TL;DR Rockstar Games says: Rockstar's current official GTA VI page lists November 19, 2026 as the launch date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Why it matters: Platform wording tells players where the launch is actually confirmed and keeps PC forecasts separate from Rockstar's published console plan.
Confirmed
Rockstar Games is treated as official context. The confirmed record is limited to what that source directly publishes: Rockstar's current official GTA VI page lists November 19, 2026 as the launch date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Not confirmed
A PC release date, performance targets, PC store pages, and PC system requirements are not confirmed unless they appear in Rockstar or platform-store copy.
