The short answer
| Version | Status | Release date |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Confirmed | Thursday, November 19, 2026 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Confirmed | Thursday, November 19, 2026 |
| Xbox One / One S / One X | Cloud streaming only | Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 1:00 a.m. ET in the US |
| PC | Not announced | No date |
Rockstar's platform list is PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC store page, PC system requirements or PC release date has been published.
What is confirmed for the console launch
GTA 6 releases on Thursday, November 19, 2026. It unlocks at midnight local time in the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store region on your account.
“Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.” — Rockstar Games Newswire
In the US and Canada, the region unlocks at 12:00 a.m. ET, which is 9:00 p.m. PT on Wednesday, November 18. That is one store-region instant, not an early-access edition. Rockstar and Take-Two describe the launch as a single-player experience, so the console release is the only confirmed GTA 6 launch.
Is Xbox Cloud Gaming a PC route?
No. Xbox Wire lists Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for GTA 6 cloud streaming on day one. It does not list PC, phones or smart TVs, so there is no announced way to use that route as a PC version.
The cloud version uses Xbox Series S graphics settings. In the US, streaming starts at 1:00 a.m. ET on November 19, 2026, an hour after the native console unlock. You must buy GTA 6 separately, and cloud access requires Game Pass or purchased cloud playtime in supported markets. Xbox has not announced the cloud start time for other regions.
Why there is no PC date
Rockstar has not explained why the PC version is absent, and it has not announced a later PC version. The only official platform list is PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Reports of a 2027 PC release have circulated, but Rockstar has not announced a date. No store listing, benchmark, leak or “confirmed” date from an unofficial source changes that. Treat every PC date until an official announcement as unconfirmed.
What to expect for a PC release
Rockstar has not announced a PC version, a release window, PC system requirements or a PC preload. If one is announced, the useful details will be the store, the requirements and whether the unlock follows the same store-region midnight rule as the console versions.
This site will add the PC unlock time by region as soon as Rockstar announces it.
How GTA V reached PC
For context, GTA V released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 17, 2013, and the PC version arrived on April 14, 2015, about 19 months later.
“GTAV for PC will be arriving on April 14th at retail and as a digital download.” — Rockstar Games Newswire
That is history, not a GTA 6 timetable. Rockstar has not said whether GTA 6 will follow the same pattern.
