Rockstar Games has completed development on Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA VI, ten days ahead of its scheduled release. Attention is now turning to ensuring the game reaches consumers in technically sound condition.

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, announced the completion on November 9, 2026, during a remote meeting in which the company presented its results and answered questions. He also discussed future opportunities for the game series.

The executive did not provide dates for a release on other platforms, such as computers. Take-Two's official list includes Sony's PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S, which comprises Microsoft's two console models, without mentioning a PC version.

An earlier rumor, attributed to four anonymous sources familiar with the plans, points to a PC release in the first quarter of 2027. Rockstar has not officially confirmed the window.

In its earnings report, Take-Two described preorders—purchases made before release—as unprecedented, without disclosing the amount. Rockstar said digital preloading, which allows players to download the game before they can play it, began at midnight local time on November 10 for PlayStation. On Xbox, it began at midnight GMT on November 10, a time reference corresponding to 9 p.m. on November 9 in Brasília.

Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar Games' next title and is set in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida. It is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
