Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Xbox One players can access the game via Cloud Gaming. The game requires 212 GB of storage plus 1 GB for a pre-release update and is fully digital, so physical pre-orders deliver only a code.
Two editions are available. The standard edition costs $79.99. The Ultimate Edition also costs $79.99 and includes a retro-futuristic sports car, special weapons for protagonists Jason and Lucia, a motorcycle and kayak, and exclusive locations such as car customization shops, a salon, clothing store, tattoo parlor, and contraband store.
Pre-order bonuses include cosmetic items themed around Vice City. These offer a classic sedan with storage, vintage looks and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and weapon patterns inspired by Tommy Vercetti. The bonuses provide no gameplay advantage.
GTA 6 is a standalone single-player experience with no cross-platform multiplayer. GTA Online, a separate experience, launches on day one but is already playable now. Rockstar is developing a new era of GTA Online in partnership with FiveM, the modding community.
Rockstar and Sony have stated GTA 6 "plays best" on PS5. The PS5 version offers DualSense haptic feedback, improved spatial audio, Spectral Super Resolution, and ray-traced shadows on PS5 Pro. The game runs at 30 frames per second on all platforms. Rockstar has not announced a PC release.
The story is self-contained and does not require knowledge of GTA 5. One Rockstar developer completed the main story in approximately 80 hours. The in-game map is reportedly three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2's.
Rockstar is hosting a music festival in Miami on November 21. A partnership with the Miami Heat on November 18 will feature GTA 6-themed jerseys designed by Travis Scott's Cactus Jack brand, special concessions based on in-game food brands, and a pink hardwood court. A special GTA 6-themed DualSense controller launches November 19 at $84.
