The Brief

Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar Games' open-world action game set in Leonida, the fictional Florida-like state that contains Vice City, and it stars Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a pair pulled into a criminal conspiracy that spans the state.[1][2] It is the first new Grand Theft Auto since GTA V in 2013 and the most anticipated release in the medium — its first trailer became one of the most-watched game videos ever published.[2] First announced for 2025, it was delayed twice; it now launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-loading already open.[3][4] No PC version has been announced.[1]

  • CONFIRMED The US price is $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
    On the PlayStation Store listing and in Take-Two's June 24, 2026 pre-order announcement. The year of $100-base-price predictions ended at $79.99.

  • REPORTED The pre-load needs roughly 212 GB of free space.

  • RUMOR Leonida's map is roughly twice the size of GTA V's map.
    Fan mapping projects built from the September 2022 leaked footage estimate about double the land area. Plausible, widely repeated — and never confirmed by Rockstar, which has published no map size.

  • DEBUNKED “GTA VI is delayed to 2027.”
    The rumor's own test failed: it said Take-Two's earnings calls would quietly let the date slip. Instead, CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed November 19, 2026, the date stands on both console stores, and pre-loads are live. A game does not pre-load a year early.

  • DEBUNKED “The standard edition will cost $100.”
    Analyst forecasts through 2025 (Matthew Ball's State of Video Gaming 2025; Wedbush's Michael Pachter) put the base price at $80–$100. The official US standard price is $79.99 — $99.99 is the Ultimate Edition.
