The proof will be in the pudding, but Take-Two and Rockstar Games have reaffirmed their intentions to release GTA 6 in November 2026, as part of the company's latest financial call.

In a press release (via IGN), Take-Two states: "Our execution throughout Fiscal 2026 has been extraordinary and we are highly confident as we approach Fiscal 2027 – which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry – led by the November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this Summer."

By confirming the GTA 6 marketing campaign will start this summer, it suggests more confidence in the current 19th November 2026 release date. We should expect to see more trailers, gameplay, and overview videos in roughly four months.

As a follow-up to the press release, IGN spoke to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who said he's feeling "very good" about the current release date. This is practically the same thing Zelnick said when he was asked of the Fall 2025 window, which has now passed. However, he says it's different this time because "any time you're getting closer to marketing beats, you're obviously in a place where your confidence level is as high as it can be".

Elsewhere, it was confirmed GTA 5 has now sold 225 million copies, adding another five million units to its overall total in three months. The entire GTA franchise as a whole has now sold 465 million copies.
