Release Date
After two delays, Rockstar Games has confirmed GTA 6 will launch on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC version has not been officially confirmed yet, but based on Rockstar’s history, a PC release in late 2027 or early 2028 is widely expected.
The Setting – Welcome Back to Vice City
GTA 6 takes place in Leonida, a fictional US state inspired by Florida. The map includes Vice City (based on Miami), Grassrivers (based on the Everglades), and the Leonida Keys (based on the Florida Keys). It’s the biggest open world Rockstar has ever built.

The Story & Characters
For the first time in GTA history, you’ll play as two protagonists – Jason and Lucia, a couple navigating crime and chaos across Leonida. The game parodies modern American culture including social media, influencer culture, and internet memes.
What We’ve Seen So Far
Rockstar has released two trailers. The first dropped in December 2023 and shattered YouTube records. The second arrived in May 2025. A third trailer is expected this summer as the full marketing campaign kicks off.
Will It Be Delayed Again?
As of April 2026, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed the November 19 date is on track. April 2026 also marks the start of Rockstar’s fiscal year – the first time GTA 6 has entered it without a delay announcement, which fans are taking as a very positive sign.
