GTA 6 Countdown 🎮 — How Many Days Until GTA 6?

When Does GTA 6 Come Out?

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on Thursday, November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games originally aimed for May 26, 2026, then moved the release to November to give the game extra polish before launch. The GTA 6 countdown above is set to midnight local time on November 19 — the moment digital copies are expected to unlock — and it updates every second.

What Time Does GTA 6 Unlock on Release Day?

Big digital releases typically unlock at 00:00 local time on launch day, so most players in each time zone start playing at midnight between November 18 and November 19, 2026. This countdown runs on your device’s clock, so it hits zero at exactly your local midnight. Physical midnight launches at retailers vary by store, and exact digital unlock times appear on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store listings closer to release.

GTA 6 at a Glance: Leonida, Lucia, and Jason

GTA 6 returns to Vice City in the fictional state of Leonida — a neon-soaked reimagining of Florida. For the first time in the series, the story follows two partners in crime, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, in a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style saga. It is the first numbered Grand Theft Auto since GTA 5 launched in September 2013, closing a wait of more than thirteen years.

Which Platforms Does GTA 6 Launch On?

At launch, GTA 6 is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced for release day — Rockstar’s PC editions historically arrive later — so console players get the first trip back to Vice City.
