Is GTA 6 Delayed? No, It Still Launches November 19

GTA 6 has not been delayed again. Rockstar's latest posts still say November 19, 2026, and pre-load is already open on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

No. Grand Theft Auto VI has not been delayed again. As of November 13, 2026, Rockstar has not announced a new date. The game still launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

If you’ve seen a post or picture saying the game was pushed back, check where it came from. Rockstar has not posted any new delay on its Newswire, which is where it announced both of its earlier date changes.

What Rockstar said most recently

November 10: Rockstar’s “Pre-Load Grand Theft Auto VI Now” post says pre-loading is open for everyone who pre-ordered digitally. It ends with “we can’t wait to see you all in Leonida on November 19.”
Rockstar Support says the game releases at midnight local time on November 19, in all regions, on both consoles.
October 15: Rockstar’s Launch Trailer post says the game arrives November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Pre-load is already open

PS5: pre-load opened on November 10 at midnight local time.
Xbox Series X|S: pre-load opened on November 10 at 12 a.m. GMT, everywhere at once.
Size: up to 212 GB, depending on your device.

More details are in our pre-load article.

The two real delays

Rockstar has changed the date twice before, and both times it said so on its own Newswire:

May 2, 2025: Rockstar said the game would release on May 26, 2026.
November 6, 2025: Rockstar moved it to Thursday, November 19, 2026 and apologized for the longer wait.

Rockstar’s posts since then, including the Launch Trailer and both pre-load posts, all point to November 19.
