Platforms

Rockstar lists two platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no announced version for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch 2. Grand Theft Auto V reached PC around eighteen months after its console release, so a later PC version is widely expected, but nothing has been announced.

Rockstar's site also carries "Plays Best On PlayStation 5" branding, with platform-specific details at playstation.com/GTAVIfeatures .

Single player

Rockstar has stated plainly that grand theft auto vi is a single player experience. There is no online mode announced for launch, so there is no GTA Online successor to expect on day one.

Editions

Standard Edition
$79.99 Reported
  • The full single-player game
  • Vintage Vice City Pack, with any purchase before 20 November 2026
  • A free month of GTA+ as a pre-order bonus
Ultimate Edition
$99.99 Reported
  • Everything in the Standard Edition
  • 16 named benefits — vehicles, weapons, apparel and businesses across the story
  • Vintage Vice City Pack and a free month of GTA+ as pre-order bonuses

Prices marked Reported come from retailer listings rather than from Rockstar, so treat them as indicative and check your platform store.

Pre-load

Digital pre-orders can begin pre-loading on 12 November, a week ahead of launch. The physical release also goes on sale on 12 November, containing a download code in the box so that disc buyers can pre-load too — worth knowing if you were assuming the disc arrives on launch day.

An Extended Look — 27 August

The next official showing is Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, premiering on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday 27 August, then arriving on Rockstar's YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI site at 9 p.m. ET the same day. See trailers for everything released so far.
