Release Date and Platforms ( Gta 6 FAQ )
1. What is the GTA 6 release date?
Thursday, November 19, 2026. Our release date guide covers the full timeline.
2. Has GTA 6 been delayed?
Yes, twice. It was first planned for fall 2025, then moved to May 26, 2026, then to November 19, 2026. Rockstar hasn’t announced any further delay.
3. Which platforms is GTA 6 coming to?
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No other platforms have been announced.
4. Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Not officially. Rockstar hasn’t announced a PC version, a PC release date, or PC system requirements. Anything claiming otherwise is a guess. Read our full guide on whether GTA 6 is coming to PC.
5. What time does GTA 6 unlock?
At midnight local time on November 19, so New Zealand gets it first. Your unlock time depends on your time zone. We’ve worked out the conversions in our launch time guide.
Price, Editions and Buying
6. How much does GTA 6 cost?
The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Prices in other countries differ, so check your own store.
7. What’s the difference between Standard and Ultimate?
Ultimate adds extra content, such as premium vehicles, weapons and apparel. It doesn’t add early access. Standard owners can buy the Ultimate upgrade later, with no deadline. Our price guide explains the editions in detail.
8. Is there a Collector’s Edition?
Not for the game itself. There’s a $399.99 merchandise box called The Goodtime State, Vice City Collection, and it doesn’t include the game.
9. Is there a physical copy?
Yes, but it contains a download code inside the box, not a disc you play straight away. Rockstar says boxed versions should reach retailers from November 12. Our pre-order guide has the details.
Pre-Load and Storage
10. When can I pre-load GTA 6?
Pre-loading starts November 10, at midnight local time on PS5 and at 12 a.m. UTC on Xbox. You need to have bought the game first. See our step-by-step pre-load guide.
11. How big is GTA 6?
Rockstar says up to 212 GB, depending on your device. I’d clear a little extra for updates. Our file size guide shows how to make room.
Story, Characters and World
12. Who are the main characters?
Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, the two playable protagonists. Rockstar has named eight profiles in total, including characters like Cal Hampton, Brian Heder and Raul Bautista. Our characters guide covers all of them.
13. Where is GTA 6 set?
In the fictional state of Leonida, which includes Vice City. It’s Rockstar’s take on Florida.
14. How big is the map?
Rockstar hasn’t said. It hasn’t published a map size or a world map, though it has confirmed six regions. See our map and setting guide.
15. Who voices Jason and Lucia?
Rockstar hasn’t named a voice actor for any character. Names you see online are unconfirmed.
16. Do I need to have played the older games?
Probably not. These are new characters in a new story, and Rockstar hasn’t said you need prior games. A few nods to the series might land better if you know it, but you won’t be lost.
Trailers and Gameplay
17. How many GTA 6 trailers are there?
Rockstar’s site lists four official videos, but only Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 are numbered. The others are An Extended Look and the Launch Trailer. “Trailer 3” is a fan nickname. Our trailers guide breaks each one down.
18. Is there an online mode?
Rockstar describes GTA 6 as a single-player experience at launch. No online mode has been announced.
19. Will GTA 6 run at 60 FPS?
That isn’t confirmed. Reports say a Rockstar North director said the console builds run at 30 FPS during development, and that whether a 60 FPS option ships at launch or later is undecided. Rockstar hasn’t published frame-rate specs, so treat any number as provisional.
20. Does GTA 6 support PS5 Pro?
PlayStation Store materials list it as PS5 Pro Enhanced, but Rockstar hasn’t said what that includes. I wouldn’t buy a console just for it until Rockstar shares details.
