Rockstar Sets GTA VI Launch for November 19, 2026

What Changed

Rockstar updated Grand Theft Auto VI's release date to **November 19, 2026** for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, moving back from the previously announced **May 26, 2026** window. The studio cited additional polish time; the date remains the current official target as of August 2026.

Why It Matters

Launch timing affects how we label "approaching release" content and sets expectations for when players will be able to explore Leonida in-game. Our map guide tracks pre-release evidence only — this date is the official schedule, not confirmation of final map scope or region count.
