Rockstar Games announced May 26, 2026 as a GTA VI release date on May 2, 2025. That date is no longer current: Rockstar later moved the release to November 19, 2026.
This milestone is retained because it explains the official date history without relying on rumor archives. It should not be interpreted as an alternate regional launch date or a date for PC. When a schedule changes, the newest direct announcement takes priority across titles, metadata, countdowns, and page copy.
Our release-date page presents the timeline chronologically and labels the current date clearly. The companion’s review date is visible so readers can judge when the source check last happened.
