Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. That pair is the entire confirmed platform list on Rockstar’s official VI site. PC is not announced. Last-generation PlayStation and Xbox hardware are not on the list.
This page is the standing hardware answer. The PC guide exists because “Steam?” is a standing question, not because WhenGTA6 has a hidden SKU. The 60 FPS page exists because a platform badge is not a performance spec.
Which consoles are actually confirmed?
PlayStation 5 is confirmed. Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are confirmed as the Xbox Series X|S family. WhenGTA6 does not split Series S off as “maybe later” unless Rockstar does. As of last verification, Rockstar’s launch sentence includes Series X|S.
A PS5 you already own is a launch platform. A PS5 Pro is still a PlayStation 5-family console. What is not confirmed is a Pro-only enhancement pack, a Pro resolution mode, or a reason you must upgrade solely for this game.
Official product timeline on these platforms

Midnight Eastern Time, when the countdown uses it, is a labeled launch assumption for that console day. It is not a platform-holder store clock until a store posts one.

PC is a missing row, not a secret date
People ask “platforms” and mean “Steam.” The honest answer is the PC guide: no announcement. Silence is not a coded yes. It is also not WhenGTA6 declaring PC will never happen. The page stays empty until Rockstar fills it.
What a confirmed console still does not tell you
A platform badge is not a performance spec. Trailers are not frame-rate targets. Official screenshots of Vice City and Leonida do not list resolution modes. File size is unannounced on every platform.
Crossplay and GTA Online for VI at launch are also unannounced. Do not buy a second console on the assumption that Online will stitch the two ecosystems together on day one.
Last-gen and cloud are not silent yeses
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are absent from the official launch sentence. WhenGTA6 will not write “maybe later” as if it were a plan. Cloud-streaming SKUs, if they appear, need their own first-party line. Until then they are off this list.
What WhenGTA6 will not claim
- A PC date, Steam page, or PC system requirements
- PS5 Pro-only modes or a reason you must replace a base PS5
- Separate Series S performance numbers
- Crossplay, Online at launch, or a file-size number
- That last-gen hardware is “probably coming”
- That 60 FPS is implied by current-gen hardware

If you are here to decide what to own on November 19, the confirmed answer is a PS5-family console or an Xbox Series X|S console. Everything else is a different product that has not been announced. Dual protagonists Jason and Lucia do not change the hardware list.
