  • Rockstar Games says Grand Theft Auto VI will launch globally on November 19, 2026, initially for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a computer version to follow later.
  • The game will feature Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in a modern version of Vice City, within the fictional state of Leonida.
  • Reported details include an estimated 80-hour campaign, expanded combat and reputation systems, an $79.99 standard edition, and technical features linked to a major data leak.

Rockstar Games has set November 19, 2026, as the global release date for Grand Theft Auto VI, ending a wait of more than a decade since Grand Theft Auto V became a mass-market hit. The game will arrive first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Computer users will have to wait for a later native version.

The new story follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a criminal couple shaped by the Bonnie and Clyde myth. Their emotional decisions and communication will affect trust and gameplay. The action takes place in a contemporary Vice City, located in Leonida, a fictional state based on Florida. Rockstar describes the setting as the largest map in the companyโ€™s history.

Representatives of Rockstar North estimate that players will need about 80 hours to complete the main narrative and side missions. The game will also allow instant character switching, advanced stealth, vehicle-theft minigames, and a progressive reputation system. Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick has said the standard edition will cost $79.99 worldwide.

Rockstar presented the gameโ€™s central features through a special program, โ€œGrand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look,โ€ broadcast on Netflix with footage captured from current-generation consoles. A separate leak, known within the online community as โ€œCyberleek,โ€ exposed additional development-stage systems, including real-time fluid physics and more elaborate police artificial intelligence. The reported police systems include facial recognition, clothing memory, and tracking by exact vehicle model. A third trailer is scheduled to appear first on Netflix on August 27.
