Paris, 6 November 2026 – Rockstar Games is scheduled to release Grand Theft Auto VI on 19 November, nearly 13 years after its predecessor. The launch is a central part of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.’s plans for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2027.

Demand could affect console retailers and distributors as well as the publisher, but the game has not been released and forecasts do not establish what consumers will spend.
