GTA 6 Release Date: Everything We Know About the Launch

GTA 6 is coming — and after more than a decade of waiting, every confirmed detail about the release date matters.

Grand Theft Auto VI — Rockstar Games' most ambitious title yet

Rockstar Games officially confirmed GTA 6 on February 4, 2023, with the release of Trailer 1 — which broke the record for most viewed gaming trailer in 24 hours with over 90 million views. Since then, every official communication has pointed to a 2025 launch window for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

What Platforms Will GTA 6 Launch On?

Why Is GTA 6 Taking So Long?

GTA 5 launched in September 2013. That means GTA 6 has been over 12 years in the making — the longest gap between mainline GTA releases. Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser has described GTA 6 as the studio's most ambitious project to date. Reports from developers confirm the team worked on a scale never attempted before in gaming.

When Will GTA 6 Come to PC?

History tells us GTA 5 launched on PS3/Xbox 360 in September 2013, then hit PS4/Xbox One in November 2014, and finally arrived on PC in April 2015 — an 18-month gap. Expect a similar pattern for GTA 6, meaning PC players are looking at late 2026 or early 2027 at the earliest.
