GTA 6 release schedule
Game developer Rockstar Games recently announced that it is delaying the release of GTA 6 again. While it was originally scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, the company has now pushed the release date to November 19 next year. If further delays occur, the upcoming GTA version will be released more than 13 years after Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013.
Although GTA 6’s release date is less than a year away, the game has become an integral part of meme culture, prompting jokes such as “We launched standard iPhone models with 120Hz displays before GTA 6”, “We launched refrigerators with touch screens before GTA 6, which was a threat to users” and “We launched Forza and Halo on PS 5 before GTA 6.”
GTA 6 India price, availability (estimated)
Game developer Rockstar Games has yet to reveal the price of “GTA 6” in India and other markets. However, the same situation has been happening online for some time. Recently, The Economic Times reported that the game could be priced at Rs. Domestic 9000 (standard version).
If this is true, then it will be significantly more expensive than its predecessor, which was priced at Rs. The console version is 3,499. However, the company reportedly spent close to $1 billion (approximately Rs. 9,000 crore) to develop the game.
GTA 6 storyline (expected)
The trailer for “GTA 6” shows that the game will have a male and a female protagonist named Jason Duvall and Lucia Caminos, unlike “GTA V”, which only had three playable characters: Michael, Trevor and Franklin. The trailer shows Jason picking up Lucia from prison, hinting at their criminal past.
The storyline is somewhat similar to the infamous American crime couple Bonnie and Clyde. After Lucia was released from prison, the two lived in a trailer park, where Jason worked odd jobs for the landlord. If Rockstar Games releases more trailers, more details about the story are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
GTA 6 supported platforms, file sizes (expected)
GTA 6 has been confirmed to be available initially on Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series S and X. Rockstar Games has yet to reveal its availability on PC, although reports suggest it may come to PC at a later date.
Download size on PC is expected to be between 150GB and 200GB. On consoles, meanwhile, things may vary depending on the console itself. Likewise, it may take up more than 200GB of storage space on your system.
