Grand Theft Auto VI set for 19 November release
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
“Grand Theft Auto VI” is scheduled to launch on 19 November, more than 13 years after the previous main instalment. Rockstar’s forthcoming crime game follows Jason Duval and Lucia Camino, whose failed robbery draws them into a conspiracy across the fictional Florida-inspired state of Leonida; its release matters because it is one of the industry’s most anticipated games and a major return for the long-running franchise.
The game will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no PC date confirmed, although earlier GTA releases reached PC later. Its setting includes Vice City and regions such as the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers and Mount Kalaga; claims that the map is much larger than previous games remain unconfirmed by Rockstar. Pre-orders began on 25 June, with the standard edition priced at $79.99, while the release has followed leaks, delays and wider economic uncertainty.
