Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on November 19, 2026, putting an end to rumors of a delay. The announcement comes from publisher Take-Two Interactive's latest financial report, which reaffirms the fall 2026 release window.
Take-Two Interactive's quarterly earnings statement, published Wednesday, explicitly lists Grand Theft Auto VI for a November 19 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The date matches the fall 2026 window Rockstar first gave in 2023 but had not narrowed further until now. Analysts had flagged potential delays after Rockstar asked employees to return to office five days a week earlier this year, a move that historically precedes schedule slips at the studio. The published date suggests those concerns were unfounded, or that the return-to-office mandate was meant to hit the November target rather than push past it.
