What the report says

Kotaku published a July 24 roundup of confirmed details and open questions around Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6, saying the long-awaited open-world action game is currently scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026. The article describes the new entry as set in Vice City, Rockstar’s fictionalized version of Miami, with beaches, boats, tourists, palm trees and other Florida-inspired elements.

According to Kotaku, GTA 6 is planned for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch, with no PC version announced for day one. The site notes Rockstar’s past pattern of releasing major games on consoles before later PC ports, but treats a possible 2027 PC release as an expectation rather than a confirmed plan. Kotaku also reports an $80 standard price and a $100 Deluxe edition, with preorders available.

The article says Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed there will not be a traditional disc release at launch, though boxed copies containing download codes are expected in stores. Kotaku reports the Deluxe edition includes cosmetic items and additional in-game content, including access to certain stores and an enemy gang hideout, a setup the article says has drawn concern from some players over content being tied to a higher-priced version.

Several major details remain uncertain. Kotaku says Rockstar is calling GTA 6 a “single-player experience” for now, leaving the future of online multiplayer unclear. The article also says Jason and Lucia appear likely to be playable based on leaked material, but that Rockstar has not formally confirmed both as controllable protagonists.
