Confirmed vs Rumour

Half of what you'll read about GTA VI this year is engagement-bait. Everything below has a status, a source, and a date — and when a status changes, the changelog says why.

The big ones

Confirmedchecked 2026-07-04

GTA VI releases on November 19, 2026

Reaffirmed by Take-Two in their most recent earnings call. Previously delayed twice (from 2025, then from May 26, 2026).

Source: Rockstar Newswire

Rumourchecked 2026-07-04

GTA VI sold 39 million copies/pre-orders in 24 hours

No official figures released by Take-Two. Treat any specific pre-order number as unverified until it appears in an official earnings release.

Rumourchecked 2026-07-04

GTA Online (VI) launches at the same time as the base game

Rockstar has said nothing about GTA VI's online mode timing. GTA V's online mode launched two weeks after the base game; a separate window for VI is plausible but unconfirmed either way.

A PC version exists / has a date

No PC version has been announced as of the last check. Any site or video giving a PC date is guessing.
