Timer targets November 19, 2026 (UTC midnight). Regional storefront midnight rollouts may differ. This countdown hides after launch.

GTA 6 platforms and availability

Official launch platforms listed by Rockstar are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders and digital editions (including Standard and Ultimate) are described on Rockstar Support — platforms, editions, and versions.

Pre-load information

Rockstar opened digital pre-load for pre-order customers on November 10, 2026 (PlayStation 5 from midnight local time; Xbox Series X|S from 12:00 a.m. GMT, per Rockstar Support). Physical code-in-box editions were noted as available to support pre-load from November 12, 2026. Follow Pre-Load Now and your console store for live install status and current download size.

PC availability

A PC launch window is not treated as confirmed on this page unless Rockstar announces it on official channels. Do not rely on rumor sites for PC system requirements or dates.

Story, setting, and Vice City

Official marketing places Jason and Lucia in Vice City, USA, inside the broader state of Leonida. Rockstar describes a crime story that begins when an easy score goes wrong and pulls them into a conspiracy across the sunniest — and darkest — side of America.

GTA 6 characters — Lucia and Jason

Lucia and Jason are the dual protagonists featured across Rockstar trailers and the VI hub. Detailed biographies beyond official marketing should be treated as unverified until Rockstar confirms them.

GTA 6 map — Leonida locations

Trailer and launch-gallery marketing emphasize beaches, nightlife districts, wetlands, and denser urban corridors around Vice City and greater Leonida. Fan-made interactive maps are not official Rockstar products.

Gameplay features, vehicles, and trailers

Official trailers and the launch gallery showcase open-world density, vehicle variety, radio/soundtrack presentation, and cinematic action. Exact systems can still receive patches around launch — use Rockstar’s hub for the latest media.

GTA 6 vehicles and cars

Marketing highlights a wide vehicle mix and period-inspired cars (including pre-order bonus items described on Rockstar Support for digital editions). Treat social “leak lists” as unverified.

Mobile availability status

Rockstar’s official launch messaging covers consoles — not a native Android or iOS GTA VI client. For phone-focused answers, see GTA 6 Mobile availability, APK safety, and Remote Play.
