GTA 6: Release Date, Price, Editions, Preload Size and Platforms
Grand Theft Auto VI releases on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC version announced. Standard Edition is $79.99, Ultimate $99.99, and the preload is about 210 GB. The confirmed launch details in one place.
Grand Theft Auto VI is nine days from launch, and the useful questions now are practical: which console, which edition, how big the download, and what the pre-order actually gets you. Everything below comes from Rockstar and the platform stores.
How this was checked
Release date, platforms, editions, prices and pre-order details come from Rockstar's official Grand Theft Auto VI page and public announcements, read on 10 November 2026. The preload size is the figure shown on the Xbox store. Where a number is platform-specific, it is labelled. No review scores exist yet because the game is not out.
Release date
Grand Theft Auto VI releases on 19 November 2026. Rockstar and Take-Two confirmed the date after two delays, the first from the original fall 2025 window and the second from May 2026.
Price
| Edition | US | UK |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 | £69.99 |
| Ultimate | $99.99 | £89.99 |
This is the first mainline GTA priced at $79.99 in the US. Pricing in other regions follows the platform store and local tax.
Editions
The Standard Edition is the base game. The Ultimate Edition adds extra vehicles, weapons, outfits and shops. Neither edition includes a story expansion or season pass, because none has been announced.
Physical copies of both editions contain a download code, not a disc. If you wanted a boxed disc, there is not one.
Rockstar's official page lists the Standard and Ultimate editions at $79.99 and $99.99, with physical copies containing a download code rather than a disc.OfficialPreload size
The Xbox preload is roughly 209.86 GB. That is the figure the Xbox store shows; PS5 lists its own size, and it is worth checking before you clear space. Preloading opens in the days before launch, so the download can finish before the unlock.
Platforms
At launch, GTA 6 is on PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro) and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version. No PC version has been announced, and Rockstar has given no PC date, so anyone planning to play on PC is waiting on an announcement that does not yet exist.
Pre-order bonus
Pre-orders placed before 20 November include the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+. Both are cosmetic and convenience extras, not content that changes the story.
What is still unconfirmed
- A PC release, or any date for one.
- Review scores, since the game is not out at the time of writing.
- Whether GTA Online launches alongside the story mode or later.
- The exact PS5 download size.
