Rockstar Games has finally confirmed the long-awaited GTA 6 launch date — and it’s set for May 2026. After years of leaks, rumors, and sky-high expectations, we now have a solid release window and a cinematic trailer that’s already breaking records.
If you’re a Grand Theft Auto fan, this is everything you need to know — including trailer highlights, story details, and what to expect from the biggest game of the decade.
GTA 6 Official Release Date
Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch in May 2026, with no specific day confirmed yet. This release window was shared after an initial expectation of Fall 2025 — meaning the game has officially been delayed by several months.
According to Rockstar, this delay ensures the final product lives up to the “massive expectations” of fans across the world.

Platforms Confirmed
GTA 6 will release first on:
- PlayStation 5

PC version has not been confirmed yet but is expected later, just like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Setting: Welcome to Leonida (Vice City Returns)
The game is set in Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional take on Florida. It includes an expanded version of Vice City, filled with beaches, crime, neon lights, and satire of modern-day America.
We also see elements like:
- Social media madness (in-game TikTok/Instagram)
- Swamps, Everglades-style zones
- Massive cityscapes and luxury living
- Wildlife, alligators, and boat chases
