GTA 6 release date remains unchanged

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026. The upcoming title is currently listed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a PC release date.

A Crime Story Set in Leonida

The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, a region shaped by sun-soaked beaches, bustling urban areas and dangerous criminal networks. At the centre of the story are Jason and Lucia, two protagonists whose lives become intertwined after a failed robbery pushes them deeper into the criminal underworld.

Rockstar Games describes the pair as being forced to rely on each other when a major score goes wrong. Their partnership is expected to drive the narrative, with trust, loyalty and survival becoming central themes as they navigate Leonida’s volatile world. The game will also take players back to Vice City, one of the franchise’s most recognisable locations.
