Rockstar Games has confirmed thatGTA 6will launch onPlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|SonMay 26, 2026.While Rockstar previously planned to release it in Fall 2025, it’s since been delayed to 2026, with no official word on when it’ll come to PC, older consoles, or future generations.
The first major update Rockstar gave the GTA community about the game’s release date was an announcement in May 2024, highlightingGTA 6’sFall 2025 release window. Rockstar’s site later confirmed it’d launch on PS5 and Xbox X/S, with no word on whether it’d come to PC, PS4, or Xbox One.

GTA 5first launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013 before being ported to PS4 and Xbox One a year later. A few months later, it arrived on PC, with subsequent PS5 and Xbox X/S ports in 2022. While we’re unlikely to seeGTA 6on older consoles anytime soon, a PC port will likely arrive a year or two later.Take-Two has even commented onGTA 6’sPC port, implying it’s inevitable, even if it won’t happen anytime soon. It could arrive as early as late 2026, but there’s a strong possibility it’ll launch in 2027 or later.
There’s also no official word on whetherGTA 6will launch on future consoles, but it’s highly likely. After all, we saw this happen withGTA 5, and capitalizing on the hype of a new console would only growGTA 6’spopularity even more. We know Microsoft is aiming torelease an Xbox Series X/S successor in 2027, so the odds of Rockstar eventually portingGTA 6onto it are high, albeit not guaranteed.
