After a long lull, Rockstar Games has finally spoken, and now we have specifics on the most anticipated game in history - Grand Theft Auto VI. Let's collect all the facts in one material.
When is the release?
Mark your calendars: Rockstar has officially confirmed that the release of GTA VI is scheduled for November 2026. True, the holiday is so far only on the street of console owners - the game will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
As for PC boys, there are no surprises here. There is no official announcement for 2026 for PCs. Industry analysts, looking at the studio’s past experience, unanimously say: a PC port will most likely have to wait until 2027.
Is “Trailer No. 3” already on the way?
Fans and data miners are on a real digital hunt today. "Unusual activity" was noticed on the Rockstar Newswire website, and fresh updates were found in the game's internal metadata. This provoked a wave of rumors: everyone is waiting for Trailer No. 3 at the end of March or beginning of April. The juiciest thing is that they say that in it we will finally be shown the first official footage of pure gameplay.
What will the game be about?
The plot confirms early guesses. We are waiting for a crime drama in the spirit of Bonnie and Clyde. The main characters will be partners - Jason and Lucia (the first female protagonist in the series). The action will take place in a huge modern version of Vice City. Apparently, the story will be as action-packed and down-to-earth as possible.
Issue price
Forget about the rumors about “premium” price tags of 100 or 200 dollars. Leaks from retailers indicate a standard price of$70 (USD)for the base edition. Rockstar decided not to reinvent the wheel and stick to the current pricing model of the AAA industry.
Why is this important for everyone
The release of GTA VI is not just a game release, it is an event on a planetary scale. Other major studios' end-2026 schedules now look suspiciously empty. Companies are moving their projects en masse so as not to fall under the “GTA tsunami”, which will destroy everything in its path.
A large-scale marketing campaign will begin this summer, and the current fuss at Newswire is just the first step towards the end. We are waiting for the end of March and hoping for gameplay!
