GTA 6 to release on November 19, 2026
Rockstar Games' upcoming title is expected to cost over $1 billion to develop and could see massive sales by 2027.
Rockstar Games will release GTA 6 on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to The Economic Times.
The game will be available from midnight local time. Development costs for the title are estimated to be over $1 billion, according to Roth analyst Eric Handler.
The standard edition is priced at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition will cost $99.99. Sensor Tower estimates that pre-orders could exceed 12 million by November 13.
Morgan Stanley has predicted sales of more than 40 million copies by March 2027. Additionally, Newzoo estimates that total sales revenue could reach between $3.25 billion and $5.2 billion by the end of the release week.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick told CNBC’s Squawk Box that demand has been higher than expected. Twitch Chief Product Officer Mike Minton noted the game could provide opportunities for growth in subscriptions and engagement.
However, Bart Spiegel of PwC warned that gaming might divert attention from films and streaming services. He expects entertainment companies to attribute lower viewing figures in the first quarter of 2027 to the game's release.
