Grand Theft Auto VI, the highly anticipated next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, is slated for release on November 19, 2026. Developed and published by Rockstar Games, the game will initially be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The release will not be simultaneous worldwide; instead, it will be a staggered launch, with New Zealand players gaining access first, up to 19 hours before some other regions like Mexico and Central America. Pre-loading for the digital-only game is expected to begin on November 12, 2026.

The story of Grand Theft Auto VI centers on a criminal duo, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, drawing inspiration from the real-life figures Bonnie and Clyde. Lucia Caminos marks a significant milestone as the first fully voice-acted female protagonist in the main Grand Theft Auto series. The game is set in the fictional US state of Leonida, which is based on Florida, and will feature the Miami-inspired Vice City. The open world is designed to be highly detailed, with a pause-menu map utilizing satellite-style 3D imagery to showcase buildings, businesses, and gang locations. Rockstar confirmed in August 2026 that the game will run at 30 frames per second on both consoles at launch.
