Grand Theft Auto VI · Confirmed for 19 November 2026

Everything Rockstar has actually confirmed about GTA 6.

Most sites blend Rockstar’s own words with leaks, estimates and guesses, because blending them gets more clicks. This one keeps them apart and labels every line. When something here says confirmed, Rockstar said it.

Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026

Counting to 00:00 UTC on November 19. Rockstar has confirmed the date but has not announced an unlock time, so treat the clock as the day, not the hour.

The game

Leonida and Vice City

The seven places Rockstar has named, the only size comparison it has given, and why every square-mileage figure online is somebody’s arithmetic.

The eight named characters

Jason, Lucia and the six supporting characters, with what Rockstar has said about each — and nothing it hasn’t.

Editions, price and bonuses

$79.99 against $99.99, what the Vintage Vice City Pack contains, and the upgrade path that makes the choice reversible.

GTA Online and GTA 6

GTA Online is continuing — that is confirmed. A GTA 6 online mode is not. Most coverage blurs the two.

Background and buying

Straight answers

The common questions, answered short — including the ones where the honest answer is that nobody knows yet.

Should you pre-order?

An unusual conclusion for a pre-order guide: for a lot of people it buys very little, and the bonus deadline is the day after launch.

Launch day, 19 November

Pre-load opens 12 November. Beyond that there is still no unlock time, no install size and no review plan — which is itself worth noting.

The six-star wanted system

The real change is not the extra star. It is that the police now have to work out who you are from what witnesses saw.

Every song in the footage

Nineteen tracks identified across three videos, and exactly one confirmed by a rights holder. The distinction matters more than usual here.

The full development timeline

Every confirmed milestone from Rockstar first admitting the game existed in 2022 to the gameplay reveal, with dates and sources.

If you play GTA Online

It is not shutting down — that is confirmed. What happens to your progress is a different and much thinner answer.

Vice City before this game

Two earlier games in the same city, twenty years ago, and the continuity question Rockstar has pointedly never answered.

The Rockstar dismissals

Two irreconcilable accounts of why around thirty people lost their jobs, and a tribunal that has ruled on procedure but not on substance.

Quick answers

Why this site exists

Search anything about this game and you will find the same twenty facts repeated with total confidence, mixed in with leaked material, fan estimates and, increasingly, AI-generated images presented as stolen screenshots. Almost nobody tells you which is which, because telling you which is which means admitting how much is unknown.

SixCodex runs on three rules:

  • Every claim is labelled. Confirmed means Rockstar Games or Take-Two said it, or it is on an official storefront listing. Unconfirmed means somebody else said it. No word means Rockstar has never addressed it.
  • Every page is dated. Information about a twice-delayed game goes stale, and an undated page is worthless.
  • We do not republish leaked material. We report on leaks as news; we do not host them, embed them or lay out their contents as though they were product information.
