GTA 6 will launch on November 19, 2026, 1,749 days after Rockstar first said the next Grand Theft Auto was "well underway" (February 4, 2022) and 1,081 days after Trailer 1.

Take-Two narrowed "2025" to fall 2025 in May 2024; Rockstar moved the game to May 26, 2026 on May 2, 2025, then to November 19, 2026 on November 6, 2025, 177 days later than the second date. Take-Two named a window or date in 10 quarterly reports in a row, from May 2024 to August 2026. The data is free under CC BY 4.0.
