GTA 6 News & Latest Updates

The announcement timeline

December 2023

Rockstar publishes Trailer 1 a day early after it leaks, confirming Vice City, the state of Leonida, and a 2025 window.

May 2025

Trailer 2 arrives alongside the first delay: the release moves from 2025 to May 26, 2026.

2026

A second slip pushes the date again, to November 19, 2026. Rockstar cited additional polish time on both occasions.

June 25, 2026

Pre-orders open on the PlayStation Store, the Xbox/Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Games Store and participating retailers.

What is still unconfirmed

A PC release. GTA V shipped on PC roughly eighteen months after its console launch, and GTA VI has had no PC announcement at all — treat any specific PC date you see as a guess.

Map size, mission count and vehicle roster. None of these have official numbers attached. Anything circulating with a precise figure is extrapolated from trailer footage or from the 2022 development leak, not from Rockstar.
