GTA 6 is coming — and based on everything we know, 2026 is the year. Here's a complete rundown of everything confirmed and credibly rumored about the release.
What's Official
Rockstar Games has confirmed GTA VI for a 2025 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version traditionally follows 12-24 months later.
Community Consensus: May 2026
Despite the original 2025 target, the community widely expects the release to slip to 2026. Our countdown is set to May 26, 2026 — consistent with rumored retail listings and supply chain reports.
Why 2026?
Rockstar's track record shows they prioritize polish over deadlines. GTA V was delayed multiple times and launched as one of the most polished open-world games ever. Expect the same level of care with VI.
Platforms
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S confirmed. PC likely 1-2 years after console launch. No current-gen (PS4/Xbox One) versions expected.
We'll update this article and our countdown as official information becomes available.
