-- reading | Last updated:
GTA 6 drops November 19, 2026 — and the next showcase is August 27 on Netflix.
Standard $79.99 · Ultimate $99.99 · PS5 & Xbox Series X/S · No PC confirmed
Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S — the biggest video game release in history. The standard edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate $99.99. Rockstar's "An Extended Look" showcase premieres on Netflix August 27, with rumors it could be a three-part video series. A PC version remains unconfirmed.
GTA 6 is trending everywhere today — and for good reason. The most anticipated game of the decade is 96 days from launch, pre-orders are breaking records, and the next big reveal hits Netflix in under two weeks. Here's everything confirmed, nothing invented.
Release Date: November 19, 2026
Rockstar Games set Thursday, November 19, 2026 as the official launch day for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game was originally slated for May 2026, then delayed to the fall. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly confirmed the date stays, telling CNBC the release schedule is unchanged.
Take-Two expects up to $8.2 billion in net bookings in the year GTA 6 launches — a record for the company.
Pre-Orders Are Already Breaking Records
Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, and the numbers shocked even Take-Two. Zelnick called the response "unprecedented and astonishing." One detail is telling: buyers are skewing toward the $99.99 Ultimate Edition over the $79.99 standard — unusual this early in a pre-order cycle.
| Edition | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 |
| Ultimate | $99.99 |
Boxed editions ship with a digital download code — no disc, per Take-Two's disc-free strategy.
GTA 6: An Extended Look — August 27 on Netflix
Rockstar announced "Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look", a new presentation premiering on Netflix on August 27, 2026 at 3 PM ET. It later arrives on Rockstar's YouTube channel and the official GTA website at 9 PM ET.
The Netflix deal has sparked debate — some fans call it "paid early access" to the reveal. And a fresh rumor adds a twist: episodes spotted on Netflix's Portuguese listing suggest the showcase may actually be a three-part video series, not a single presentation. Rockstar hasn't commented.
