Fans of Grand Theft Auto have waited long enough, and now there’s solid news. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive just locked in GTA 6 for November 19, 2026. No more guessing – the date is set.
This comes straight from Take-Two’s latest press release. They say their work in 2026 has been amazing so far. Now they’re pumped for 2027, with GTA 6 leading the way. The big marketing push starts this summer, sometime between June and August. Get ready for trailers, ads, and hype like never before.
Why the wait? The game got pushed back from a 2025 release. Some blame the actors’ strike that hit Hollywood hard. But Rockstar wants it perfect. After all, GTA 5 sold over 200 million copies. Everyone expects this one to break records.
Platforms are confirmed too, but bad news for Nintendo fans. No Switch or the new Switch 2 at launch. It’s coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S first. Rumors swirl about a PC version later or even a Switch port down the line, but nothing official yet.
Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick sounded excited. He called it a game-changer for the whole industry. “Rockstar’s launch marketing” will kick off soon. That means we could see the second trailer any day now. The first one from 2023 broke the internet with 200 million views in a day.
Picture this: Vice City vibes in a modern Florida setting. Two main characters, Jason and Lucia, pulling off wild heists. Social media, influencers, and crazy online worlds—it’s all teased. Fans can’t stop talking about the details hidden in that trailer.
The hype builds every day. GTA Online keeps pulling millions, but everyone wants the single-player story. Will it have more freedom? Bigger maps? Better driving? Rockstar stays quiet, but summer will spill the beans.
Some chatter about a $100 price tag, but Take-Two hasn’t said a word. Standard games sit at $70 these days, so who knows.
This news hits at a perfect time. Gaming shows like Summer Game Fest loom large. Expect GTA 6 everywhere soon.
For gamers, it’s a light at the end of the tunnel. After years of delays, November 2026 feels real. Mark your calendars.
