What Rockstar has confirmed about GTA VI
Rockstar has a date, two consoles, a state called Leonida, and two leads named Lucia and Jason. The rest is trailer framing and rumor. The write-up stays on what the studio put on paper.
The date and the machines
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two listed the digital price at $79.99 when pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026. Rockstar has not announced a PC launch day in the same breath. Until that sentence exists in an official post, treat PC as unconfirmed, not “soon” and not “never.”
Pre-load talk from the publisher pointed at 12 November 2026 for digital copies. That is a download window, not an early unlock. If a store page contradicts a Rockstar post, the Rockstar post wins on this site.
Leonida, Lucia, Jason
The setting is Leonida, a fictional state built as a Vice City-era Florida. Trailer 1 (4 December 2023) and Trailer 2 (6 May 2025) are the pictures Rockstar chose. Lucia and Jason are the two named leads. Dual protagonists are the structure they showed, not a fan theory.
Map size, weather systems, and animal lists that only appear in leaked 2022 footage stay unpublished. A leak is not a patch note. When the game ships, tutorials will describe menus you can open. Until 19 November 2026, curiosity pieces stop at the press release and the trailers.
What is still not a fact
Online for VI, a movie, a second map DLC, and a “confirmed” wanted-star rewrite are all talk until Rockstar writes them. HowGTA will not publish a VI driving tutorial, a gun list, or a money method before the disc exists. If you want a button sequence today, that lives under GTA V.
