Is GTA 6 definitely releasing on 19 November 2026?

As confirmed as a pre-release date can be. Rockstar announced it in November 2025 and Take-Two reaffirmed it in a May 2026 earnings call. Rockstar has delayed the game twice before, so treat it as highly likely rather than absolutely guaranteed until launch day arrives.

How much does GTA 6 cost in the UK?

£69.99 for Standard Edition, £89.99 for Ultimate Edition, confirmed when pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026.

Is GTA 6 coming to PC?

Not confirmed. No PC version has been announced for launch or any later date. Rockstar's past pattern with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 suggests a PC port could follow 12–18 months after console launch, but that is an estimate, not a confirmed plan.

What's the difference between Standard and Ultimate Edition?

Ultimate adds story-integrated bonus vehicles, personalised weapons, exclusive apparel and tattoos, and access to two Ultimate-only in-game shops. Neither edition changes the core story or map content.

Is there a GTA 6 Collector's Edition?

Not as of July 2026. Only Standard and Ultimate digital-first editions exist. A physical special edition hasn't been ruled out, following the pattern Rockstar used with GTA 5, but nothing is confirmed yet.

GTA 6 Release Date, Price and Editions: Everything Confirmed

The confirmed release date

Rockstar Games confirmed 19 November 2026 as GTA 6's release date in a Newswire post on 6 November 2025. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed the date during the company's fiscal Q4 earnings call on 21 May 2026, so this is as solid as a pre-release date gets. There is no first-hand gameplay of the finished game yet — everything below is based on official announcements, not hands-on experience.

The delay history, in order

GTA 6 was originally expected in 2025 following its first trailer in December 2023.
On 2 May 2025, Rockstar announced the game would miss Fall 2025 and pushed the date to 26 May 2026.
On 6 November 2025, Rockstar delayed again, moving the release to the current date of 19 November 2026.
Rockstar's stated reason both times was to give the game "the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve," its standard language for delays.

Platforms at launch

PlayStation 5 — confirmed.
Xbox Series X/S — confirmed.
PC — not announced. Rockstar has not confirmed a PC version at launch or since. Based on GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 patterns, a PC port would be expected roughly 12–18 months after console launch, putting a plausible window in 2027–2028. This is a pattern-based estimate, not a confirmed date.
No physical disc — Rockstar has confirmed retail "physical" copies ship as a code in a box rather than a game disc, so digital and physical purchases install identically.

Price by edition

Standard Edition

£69.99 (UK) / $79.99 (US)
The base game only.

Ultimate Edition

£89.99 (UK) / $99.99 (US)
Everything in Standard, plus story-integrated bonus content: extra vehicles including a '95-style Grotti Cheetah, a Shitzu Squalo speedboat, and a '67-style Vapid Dominator Buggy.
Personalised weapons, exclusive apparel and tattoos.
Access to Ultimate-only in-game shops: Rideout Customs and Sara's Unisex Salon.

Collector's or special editions

No physical Collector's Edition or Special Edition has been confirmed as of July 2026 — Rockstar has only released Standard and Ultimate digital-first editions. GTA 5 followed a similar pattern: standard tiers opened first, with Special and Collector's Editions announced months later, closer to launch. A premium physical edition for GTA 6 is possible before November but is not confirmed, so don't budget for one yet.

Where pre-orders are live

Pre-orders opened 25 June 2026 through the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, alongside participating retailers. For step-by-step advice on where to buy and what bonuses you get for pre-ordering early, see the GTA 6 pre-order guide.

What this means if you're deciding what to buy

If you only care about the story, Standard Edition covers it — the Ultimate content is cosmetic and convenience items, not new missions or map content.
If you play a lot of GTA Online currently and want a head start on customisation options, Ultimate's exclusive vehicles and shops may be worth the extra £20/$20.
Don't buy expecting a PC release alongside consoles — none is scheduled.
If a Collector's Edition matters to you, wait; Rockstar has history of announcing one later rather than at initial pre-order.
