Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026, for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. This date applies worldwide and was confirmed by Rockstar in their official announcements. Pre-orders for the game opened on June 25, 2026, following a Newswire post on June 18, 2026. The Xbox version is digital only, with no physical disc planned.
The release date has shifted twice before. Initially set for 2025 with no specific season, it was later moved to May 26, 2026, and then to the current November date. Rockstar has not called this date “final,” so further changes cannot be ruled out. No performance details for Xbox Series X or S have been officially confirmed, including frame rates or resolution targets. The release date page tracks any updates.
If you plan to buy on Xbox, note that the standard edition costs $79.99 and includes the Vintage Vice City Pack as a pre-order bonus if ordered before November 20. The Ultimate edition is $99.99. Since there is no disc, you will need a digital purchase from the Microsoft Store. For more on what you get, see the editions page. Watch for any official delay announcements, but as of now, November 19, 2026, is the date to mark.
