Timeline
Every major moment on the road to Grand Theft Auto VI, from the 2022 development leak through the November 19, 2026 launch and the still-unconfirmed PC release.
Every milestone
Dev Leak
Roughly 90 in-development video clips surfaced on a Rockstar forum, giving the world its first real look at the next Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar confirmed the breach the next day.
Trailer 1
The first official trailer introduced Lucia in a prison flashback, the return to Vice City and a sun-drenched Leonida. It became the most-viewed gaming trailer ever within 24 hours.
Trailer 2
Trailer 2 confirmed Jason Duval as Lucia’s partner, expanded Vice City’s footprint and previewed key supporting cast. The Bonnie and Clyde framing for the story became unmistakable.
157 Days to Launch
We’re in the final stretch: marketing beats, pre-order announcements and platform deep-dives are expected to land in waves until release day.
Pre-orders
Pre-orders have not been opened yet. Editions, bonuses and pricing remain unconfirmed by Rockstar at the time of writing.
GTA VI Launch
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. No same-day PC release has been confirmed.
PC Release
A PC version is widely expected based on Rockstar’s previous release patterns, but Rockstar has not confirmed timing. Past titles have typically followed console launches by 12 to 18 months.
