    ‘Grand Theft Auto 6’ Is Officially Eligible for the 2026 Game Awards

    Polygon ·

    Grand Theft Auto 6 is eligible for the 2026 Game Awards because its scheduled 19 November release falls just before the awards’ 20 November cutoff. That makes the game a potential contender for the year’s biggest prizes, including Game of the Year, and could shape the awards conversation in a year without a clear frontrunner.

    Games must be commercially released before midnight ET on 20 November to qualify, while Player’s Voice eligibility runs to 30 November. The article says Rockstar may send review codes to critics before the end of October, though delaying them to prevent leaks could leave judges little time to play before voting. Other titles in contention include Resident Evil Requiem, Forza Horizon 6 and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.

    • GTA 6 meets the 2026 Game Awards release cutoff.
    • Its scheduled release is 19 November, one day before the deadline.
    • Late review access could leave judges short of time.
