Twenty confirmed facts about Grand Theft Auto VI, from the release date and price to the characters, trailers and radio stations, each tied to an official source.

By Neon Coast Guide Editorial Team Published 3 min read

With so many rumors around Grand Theft Auto VI, it helps to have a short list of what is actually confirmed. Below are twenty facts, each followed by the numbered source it comes from. The numbers match the source list at the end of the page.

Release and platforms

Dates and prices matter most right now, because pre-orders are open. This group comes from Rockstar's newswire, Take-Two's pre-order announcement and the console stores. Prices are US prices and can change, so check your own store. Our full release guide adds the pre-order bonuses and what is not announced.

  1. The game launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026. [1]
  2. That date replaced an earlier target of May 26, 2026. [1][2]
  3. The confirmed platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. [3]
  4. It does not run on PS4. [3]
  5. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. [2]
  6. The Standard Edition costs $79.99 in the US. [2]
  7. The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 in the US. [2][3]
  8. Digital pre-orders can pre-load from November 12, 2026. [2]
  9. The physical edition contains a download code rather than a disc. [2]

Rating

Early Take-Two releases said the game was not yet rated. The ESRB has since published a rating, which is why this section is worth rechecking over time. The rating is a guide for parents and buyers, not a review of quality.

  1. The ESRB rates the game M for Mature 17+. [4]
  2. Its descriptors include blood and gore, intense violence, nudity and strong language. [4]

Story and characters

Rockstar profiles the two leads on its "Only in Leonida" pages. We repeat only the basics here and keep spoilers and guesses out. The character guide covers the supporting cast as well.

  1. There are two protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. [5]
  2. Jason is a former Army member who ended up working for drug runners in the Keys. [5]
  3. Lucia served time in Leonida Penitentiary. [5]
  4. The game is set in the state of Leonida, home to Vice City. [6]

Videos

Rockstar dates every video on its own pages, which makes the timeline easy to verify. The trailer guide explains what each one is for, and why the in-game Extended Look is the most useful for judging the game.

  1. Trailer 1 is dated December 4, 2023. [6]
  2. Trailer 2 arrived on May 6, 2025, with all footage captured on PlayStation 5. [7]
  3. An Extended Look, dated August 27, 2026, is captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. [8]

Music

Music is one area where Rockstar has shared plenty. Radio stations are a long-running part of the series, and the publisher has named some of the Leonida stations along with an official album. We list only the stations Rockstar has named, and more may be announced.

  1. Rockstar has announced in-game radio stations including Cocoteo FM, Dirty South Classics and Flash FM, which also appeared in the original Vice City. [9]
  2. An official album, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, has 34 original tracks and is due November 19. [10]

How to read these. These are statements by the publisher and its partners at the time of writing, not tests of the finished game. We update this page when sources change. For the bigger picture, see the Leonida map guide and every trailer explained.
