GTA 6 Release Date Confirmed by Rockstar
Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that GTA 6 will launch on May 26, 2026. This announcement came during Take-Two’s recent financial presentation. After years of rumors and leaks, the release date is now official.
However, the launch will not include all platforms. Only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players will get access on day one.
PC and Switch 2 Versions Are Still Unannounced
As of now, Rockstar has not announced a PC release date. There is no launch window, no teaser, and no confirmation. This decision mirrors what happened with GTA 5, which launched on PC much later than on consoles.
The newly released Nintendo Switch 2 was also left out. Despite its improved hardware, Rockstar has made no mention of GTA 6 on this system.
Sony Signals a Strong Partnership With Rockstar
Sony has been consistently promoting GTA 6 in its PS5 marketing. The game has appeared in trailers, PlayStation Store listings, and even during major Sony events.
This has sparked speculation about a possible exclusive content deal between Sony and Rockstar. Similar to previous GTA Online perks, PS5 players might get early access or exclusive bonuses.
GTA 6 Will Launch With Premium Editions
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that GTA 6 will come at a “fair” but premium price. The standard edition is expected to cost around €79.99.
In addition to the base game, players can expect:
-
Collector’s editions
-
Paid early access options
-
Exclusive cosmetic items
This multi-tier launch strategy follows trends seen in other AAA releases.
Staggered Launch Could Frustrate Some Players
By prioritizing next-gen consoles, Rockstar is delaying the game for millions of PC and potential Switch 2 users. While this approach follows the same pattern as GTA 5, it could stir backlash from fans.
That said, the excitement for GTA 6 remains sky-high. The confirmed release date gives fans a target, even if the full launch rollout will take time.
Final Thoughts: Are You Ready for GTA 6?
With the GTA 6 release date now official, players can finally plan their return to Rockstar’s open world. But depending on your platform, the wait may not be over just yet.
So, will you play GTA 6 on day one, or will you be waiting for the PC version?
