Confirmed · two machines
Two machines. Nothing else.
PlayStation 5 · Xbox Series X|S · 19 November 2026 Take-Two Interactive · 24 Jun 2026
Two platforms have been announced, and the list has not changed since the game was dated. Everything else on this page is an absence: a machine Rockstar has not mentioned, a specification nobody has published, or a claim that ran ahead of the announcement.

Two entries · unchanged since the game was dated
What can I play it on?
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nothing else.
That is the whole first-party platform list. It is stated in Take-Two's own pre-order press release, and no first-party document names a third machine — which is the sentence every other section of this page depends on.

And when?
Thursday 19 November 2026, on both.
Confirmed Rockstar Games Newswire /
Four standing questions about hardware.
Each one has its own page.
An eventual PC release is a reasonable expectation on precedent. It is not an announcement, and the difference matters the moment somebody quotes you a date — the most repeated one is an anonymous claim, recorded below as rumoured.
No frame rate, no resolution, no list of graphics modes, and no statement about what a Series S or a PS5 Pro does differently from the machine beside it. The one technical reading in circulation is an analyst's, and it is a reading of two trailers.
Neither storefront listing carries a figure. The first dependable number will be the one your own console reports when pre-loading opens on 12 November 2026, one week before launch.
This one is empty for a structural reason rather than a secretive one. With no multiplayer mode announced there is nothing for crossplay to apply to, so the question has no subject yet — and that, rather than "no", is the honest answer.
Collapsing them into "unconfirmed" is the usual error
"Not announced" is not the same as "not happening", and neither is the same as "ruled out". The three cases below are genuinely different from one another, and collapsing them into a single unconfirmed is how a reader ends up waiting for a port that does not exist.
PC
Open, with a strong precedent behind it and nothing said. Rockstar has never named a PC release, a PC date or a PC storefront, and its own history makes an eventual port likely. Likely is not announced.
Nintendo Switch 2
Open, with an explicit non-commitment attached. Take-Two supports the console in general and decides titles case by case, which is a company keeping an option open rather than making a promise — and it is misquoted as a promise constantly.
PS4 and Xbox One
Closed. Every first-party platform list is current-generation only, and no last-generation version has ever appeared in one. There is nothing here to wait for.

Stated in first-party material, or shown in official footage. Two attributable sources where possible. Nothing reliable exists. Stated plainly rather than filled with speculation.
Cloud and streaming services do not appear in that table because no first-party material has mentioned one. That absence is set out on its own below.
One feature list exists · it is for one of them
The announced list names two platform families rather than four machines. "Xbox Series X|S" covers both Xbox consoles in one entry, and a PlayStation 5 Pro is a PlayStation 5 — it does not appear as a separate platform anywhere in first-party material, because no third platform does.
What has never been published is how the game differs between them. There is exactly one piece of first-party technical detail about this game in existence, and it is a feature list rather than a specification.
What has Rockstar said about the hardware?
Haptics, adaptive triggers, the controller speaker, 3D audio, SSD load times.
This is the only first-party technical detail of any kind published so far. No equivalent Xbox feature list has been published.

PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and frame rate and resolution each carry what little there is.
Every named channel sells a copy for a console
The pre-order announcement enumerates every channel the game is sold through — the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Games Store and retailers worldwide. No streaming service, subscription catalogue or cloud platform appears in it, or in any other first-party material.
Where is it sold, then?
Two console stores, Rockstar's own, and retail.

By statement · never by inference
Worth knowing, because the shape has been consistent. The announcement that started it named nothing at all: Rockstar confirmed in February 2022 that the next Grand Theft Auto was in development, and named no game, no date and no platform.
Over four years later the list appeared, complete, in a press release, and it has not moved since. Nothing has ever been added to it by a leak, a retailer listing or a podcast. The precedent that keeps the PC question alive is a different one, and it is worth reading precisely: it is a record of what Rockstar did once, with one game.
It is a reason to expect a PC version eventually. It is not a schedule, and this site does not print it as one. The history of the release dates themselves is on the delay history
What happened last time?
Consoles September 2013. PC April 2015. About 19 months.
Historical precedent only. It says nothing about GTA VI's schedule.
