GTA 6 FAQ: Release, Map, Characters, Price — Quick Answers

Quick, sourced answers to the questions people actually ask. Rumors are labeled as rumors. Last verified August 5, 2026.

When does GTA 6 come out?

Thursday, November 19, 2026. The date was set after two delays and is backed by live pre-orders since June 25, 2026. Full history on our release date tracker.

What platforms is GTA 6 on?

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch. It is not coming to PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch.

Is GTA 6 coming to PC?

Not announced. Rockstar's pattern says a PC port follows consoles by one to two years — GTA V took about 18 months. Expect late 2027 at the earliest, and treat any date you see before Rockstar speaks as a guess.

How much does GTA 6 cost?

$79.99 for the Standard Edition, $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. No early access on either. Full comparison in our editions guide.

Where is GTA 6 set?

The state of Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida, centered on Vice City — the series' Miami. Trailers show swamps, beaches, keys and a social-media-soaked modern satire of the Sunshine State.

Who are the main characters in GTA 6?

Jason and Lucia, a Bonnie-and-Clyde pair and the series' first dual protagonists of this kind. Lucia is the first playable female lead in a modern mainline GTA.

How many trailers are there?

Two official trailers so far: Trailer 1 (December 2023, a YouTube record-breaker) and Trailer 2 (May 2025). A third is widely expected in the pre-launch window — here's the evidence around an August reveal, though Rockstar has announced nothing.

Will GTA 6 be delayed again?

Signals say no: pre-orders are live and Take-Two has publicly ruled out further delays. Nothing in game development is certain, but the company is acting like the date is locked.

What music will be in GTA 6?

Reporting points to 500+ licensed tracks and the biggest music licensing budget in gaming history. Confirmed so far: the return of V-Rock, a new station called Coral Chorus, and trailer songs from Tom Petty, The Pointer Sisters and others. Our soundtrack tracker follows every confirmed song.

Does GTA 6 have early access?

No. Neither edition includes early access — everyone starts November 19, 2026. Any listing selling "early access" is a scam.

How big is the GTA 6 map?

Rockstar hasn't published numbers. Credible analysis of trailer footage suggests the biggest map in series history, spanning Vice City and large stretches of Leonida beyond it — but specific size claims circulating online are fan estimates, not facts.

What about GTA Online in GTA 6?

Rockstar has said essentially nothing about the next iteration of GTA Online. Given that GTA V's online mode became one of the most profitable products in entertainment, expect a major reveal — but after the single-player marketing cycle.
