GTA 6 Is 17 Days Out: What's Confirmed, What's Rumored and What Rockstar Disputed
17 days to go: here's the sorted pile of facts, maybes and flat-out denials. Print it, tape it to your monitor.
With launch on November 19, a Tech Insider roundup published November 2 sorts the facts from the rumors.
Confirmed per Rockstar, Take-Two and store pages: GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no PS4 or Xbox One version. Digital preload starts at local midnight on November 12, seven days before launch. The Vintage Vice City Pack is the pre-order bonus for digital buyers who purchase before November 20. Prices reported in a November 1 roundup are $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition (£69.99 and £89.99 in the UK).
Reported but unconfirmed: the 210 GB PS5 install size from store data, physical copies being a box with a download code rather than a disc, and the November 18 review embargo.
Rumors and denials: GamesBeat reported a PC version targeting Q1 2027, citing four anonymous sources, and Rockstar has not commented. A single insider claimed a native PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Xbox denied the exclusive cloud-streaming report on October 7. Bloomberg reported a budget above $1.5 billion on October 14, which Rockstar disputed without publishing its own figure.
