GTA 6 is set for release on November 19
Rockstar Games plans to release GTA 6 on November 19, after delaying it from 2025 and then from May 2026.
The game takes place in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida, with Vice City based on Miami.
Its story follows former prisoners Jason Duval and Lucía Caminos, making Lucía the series’ first playable female protagonist.
GTA began in 1997 and became known for open-world games where players take the role of criminals.
The franchise has sold more than 475 million games, and GTA 5 alone has sold more than 230 million copies.
The games have also faced criticism over violence, portrayals of women and ethnic stereotypes, while some countries have restricted or banned sales.
Rivals have avoided releasing games around GTA 6, concentrating other major launches in September and October.
GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, according to Folha.
The release date followed two delays: from the second half of 2025 to late May 2026, and then to November 19.
The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida and the city of Vice City, inspired by Florida and Miami.
Its story centers on former prisoners Jason Duval and Lucía Caminos, the franchise’s first playable female protagonist.
