Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and this is the room where the whole countdown lives: every dated story, the trailers ranked, the pre-load math, the score watch, the launch gallery, the leaks stance, and GTA VI: The Festival in Miami.

GTA 6 is weeks from landing, so here is the road in: Grand Theft Auto started in 1997 as a top-down cop game in Scotland, and GTA V grew into the second best-selling game ever made.
Ninety leaked clips, one teenager with a Fire Stick, two delays, and a thirteen year wait. I have not watched a second of the leaked GTA 6 footage, and I am not starting now. Here is why the leaks hurt the fans, the builders, and the game itself.
The last word before launch day. Rockstar dropped this one on October 15, 2026, five weeks out, with Jason and Lucia front and center and the first full taste of the score: “Flower in a Hurricane” by...

Unrated. No Metacritic or OpenCritic aggregate exists before reviews publish. The franchise bar it has to clear is a 98, set by Grand Theft Auto IV, the highest Metascore in series history.
