Why This Site Exists

When a game this big approaches launch, the internet fills up with fake release dates, invented leaks and recycled clickbait. Searching for something as simple as “GTA 6 release date” can lead you to pages that still list dates from years ago. We built this resource to avoid that. Every page shows a “last updated” date, labels what is confirmed and what is an estimate, and points you back to Rockstar Games’ official channels for anything important such as purchases.

We are an independent fan project. We are not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and we do not sell the game. If a page here disagrees with Rockstar’s official website, trust Rockstar and let us know so we can correct it through our contact page.

What You Can Find Here

Release date and launch details. Our release date guide explains the current date, the history of delays, how pre-loading works and what to expect on launch day. If you are planning your week around the launch, the countdown page and the release time by country guide help you convert times to your region.

PC and hardware. Many players are asking the same two questions: will GTA 6 come to PC, and will my computer run it? Rockstar has not announced a PC version, so our PC pages explain what is known, what executives have said and what history suggests. Our system requirement pages are clearly marked as estimates, because no official PC specifications exist yet.

Story, map and gameplay. Our game guide collects what the trailers and official materials show about Lucia and Jason, Leonida, Vice City and the features Rockstar has shown so far.

News. Our news page tracks official announcements so that you do not have to dig through speculation.

How We Handle Accuracy

We follow a simple rule: only Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive and the platform holders can confirm facts about the game. Everything else is reporting, analysis or opinion. When we cite a number such as a price or a date, we rely on Rockstar’s own announcements as reported by established outlets, and we say clearly when something is an estimate. You can read the full approach in our editorial policy.

Quick Answers to Common Questions

Is GTA 6 coming to PC at launch? No. Rockstar’s launch platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Take-Two’s CEO has said that Rockstar historically starts with some platforms and then expands to others, but no PC date has been given. See our PC release date guide.

How much does GTA 6 cost? The announced prices are $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Prices in other currencies depend on the store and region, so check your local PlayStation Store or Xbox store. Our price page explains the editions.

Can my computer run it? There are no official PC requirements, so any list is a prediction. Our quick check guide shows how to compare your parts against realistic estimates.

Will there be GTA Online? Rockstar described the launch game as a single-player experience and has not announced a new online mode. Read the online page for the details.

Stay Safe Around the Launch

Big launches attract scams. Only buy from official stores, never share your account details with anyone offering “early access” and ignore websites offering free downloads or generators. Rockstar sells the game through official platform stores and authorized retailers. If an offer looks too good to be true, it is.
