Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) will launch on November 19, 2026. Fans have been waiting for years, and this announcement ends months of speculation and delays.
The game returns to Vice City, inspired by Miami, set in the larger state of Leonida, based on Florida. Key locations include islands, beaches, a mountain region, and areas tied to crime and smuggling.
Players follow Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style story. Jason, an ex-Army soldier, is drawn into criminal operations in the Keys. Lucia, recently released from prison, sees a chance to build a better life. Supporting characters include music moguls, rappers, bank robbers, and local crime figures.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted at the price and in-game ads in an interview with The Game Business:
“Very difficult for me to believe that we would want to have interstitial advertising in a game that someone paid 70 or 80 bucks for would seem unfair.”

He added:
“For free-to-play titles, yes. For titles for which you’ve paid 70 or 80 bucks, no. We have some limited advertising inside games like NBA 2K… but that’s not a big economic contributor.”
This suggests GTA 6 will likely cost $70–$80 and remain free of intrusive ads.
The game is expected to build on GTA V and GTA Online with more dynamic missions, character customization, and open-world interaction. With the confirmed release date and pricing, anticipation for GTA 6 continues to grow worldwide.
