GTA VI: all the news on Rockstar’s next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series

It’s been over a decade and two console generations since GTA V came out, and its sequel is still a work in progress. GTA VI has faced multiple delays, with developer Rockstar Games bumping back its predicted release date twice, first to May 26th, 2026, then again to November 19th, 2026, a full year after its originally planned release window of fall 2025, and facing accusations of union busting after firing more than 30 employees.

Now, preorders have opened for the digital code-only game, offering the $79.99 standard edition and $99.99 Ultimate Edition on both PS5 and Xbox Series X / S.

Early official glimpses offered a look at the game’s protagonists, Jason and Lucia, as the game will follow the pair around Vice City as they attempt to navigate a criminal conspiracy after a job goes south. After leaks of early builds a few years ago, a new “CyberLeek” series of posts have popped up, showing sequences of the game just days ahead of Rockstar’s planned Netflix-exclusive (for six hours) event on August 27th.
