## Key points

- Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, per Rockstar Games.
- Rockstar’s VI page and Newswire list the November 19, 2026 window; Take-Two’s IR materials cover pre-orders.
- Nintendo’s US store lists Switch Sports Resort for October 22, 2026, and Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 for November 5, 2026.
- Rockstar has not listed a PC version on the GTA VI materials reviewed for this brief.

*Grand Theft Auto VI* is scheduled for **November 19, 2026**, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games lists that window on the official [VI site](https://www.rockstargames.com/VI/) and in a [Newswire post](https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/ak3ak31a49a221/grand-theft-auto-vi-is-now-set-to-launch-november-19-2026) confirming the move to November 19. Take-Two Interactive’s investor materials cover the same console launch and pre-order framing.

That is the news: a publisher-confirmed date and two confirmed platforms. Rockstar has not listed a PC version on the VI materials reviewed for this brief — we leave PC as unannounced rather than guess.

## Same-season store windows (context only)

Two Nintendo US store listings sit earlier on the autumn calendar. They are separate confirmations, not an adjacency essay:

- **October 22, 2026** — *Nintendo Switch Sports Resort* ([Nintendo US store](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-switch-sports-resort-switch-2/)).
- **November 5, 2026** — *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* for Nintendo Switch 2 ([Nintendo US store](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-switch-2/)).

## Pre-order note (GTA VI)

Take-Two’s [IR pre-order release](https://taketwointeractivesoftwareinc.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/rockstar-games-announces-pre-orders-grand-theft-auto-vi) states that pre-orders began **June 25, 2026**, with digital pre-load / physical download-code availability from **November 12, 2026**, at **$79.99**. Those details sit beside the launch date; they do not change the platforms Rockstar has named.

## How we got here (historical only)

Earlier official windows — including a Fall 2025 framing and a superseded **May 26, 2026** target — are part of the public delay trail on Take-Two and Rockstar materials. They are historical. The current lock is **November 19, 2026**.

If a date moves, the publisher moves it first. Until then, November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is the wire.

## Questions and answers
