GTA 6 questions, answered
Short answers to what everyone's asking before launch. We only state what's confirmed, and we say when something isn't.
Updated 9 November 2026
When does GTA 6 come out?
GTA 6 comes out on Thursday 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What time does GTA 6 unlock?
Midnight local time on Thursday 19 November, in every region, on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That's from Rockstar Support.
When can I preload GTA 6?
Now. Preloading opened on Tuesday 10 November for everyone who pre-ordered digitally: at midnight local time on PS5, and at midnight GMT on Xbox Series X|S. Boxed copies are in shops from 12 November, and you can preload as soon as you redeem the code.
How big is the GTA 6 download?
Up to 212 GB, depending on your console. Early PS5 preloads in New Zealand show about 210 GB. Keep about 250 GB free so a day-one patch doesn't leave you short.
How much does GTA 6 cost?
The Standard Edition is $79.99 (£69.99). The Ultimate Edition is $99.99 (£89.99).
What do you get in the Ultimate Edition?
Extra vehicles ('95 Grotti Cheetah, '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with Paradise Garage, Shitzu Squalo, Dinka Enduro and Crest kayak, a Retro Build for the Vapid Ganado), the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers, engraved ES9 and K17 pistols, five extra shops (Rideout Customs, One-Eyed Willie's, Sara's Unisex Salon, Stock 305 and Electric Fang Tattoo), a gang-compound raid, a classic-car restoration mission chain for a collector called Wyman, and extra outfits. Most of it unlocks as you progress through the story.
What is the Vintage Vice City Pack?
A bonus for buying before launch. It includes a '55 Vapid Stanier, a two-tone 1950s sedan with a weapon locker and hidden compartment, a garage by Ocean Beach, retro outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a palm-tree weapon pattern. It counts for anything bought before 20 November.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Not yet. Rockstar has only announced GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. One report claims a PC release in early 2027, but Rockstar hasn't confirmed it.
Do I need PlayStation Plus to play GTA 6?
Not for story mode. If Rockstar launches an online mode, playing online on PS5 normally needs a PS Plus subscription.
Do boxed copies come with a disc?
No. Boxed copies, on sale from 12 November, contain a download code for the Standard Edition. PS5 codes only work on a PlayStation account from the same region; Xbox codes work anywhere. You can redeem the code and start the preload as soon as you have the box.
How does the wanted level work?
Police only come if someone sees the crime, a victim reports it, or an alarm, camera or car tracker catches you. There are six stars. Police also remember your face, clothes, gun and car, and you can lose those clues by changing clothes or hair, wearing a mask, dumping the gun or car, or respraying it. Splitting Jason and Lucia up drops a star. This is from Rockstar's July previews.
How many guns can you carry?
Four: two hidden handguns and two long guns. The rest are stored in Ammu-Nation lockers or your car's weapon crate. Auto-aim is off by default. This is from Rockstar's July previews.
Is there a first-person mode?
Not in the version Rockstar showed in its previews. Photo Mode is in.
Does GTA 6 run at 60fps?
It's reported to run at 30fps on PS5 and Xbox. Rockstar says it hasn't decided on a 60fps mode yet. The PS Store lists it as PS5 Pro Enhanced.
What languages is GTA 6 in?
The voices are English only. Text and subtitles come in 13 languages.
How long is GTA 6?
Rockstar North's Rob Nelson has said a playthrough is around 80 hours.
Is GTA Online in GTA 6 at launch?
No. GTA 6 launches as a single-player game. Rockstar hasn't announced an online mode, though court filings show it tested a 32-player one. See our rumours roundup on the news page.
Is WantedKit made by Rockstar?
No. WantedKit is an unofficial fan site. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
