GRAND THEFT AUTO VI · 19 NOVEMBER 2026
Original reporting on Grand Theft Auto VI: every confirmed detail, every leak worth taking seriously, and what Rockstar has actually said. See the countdown →
Europe's rating board posted the game's full listing for a few hours and then removed it. It described violence with dismemberment, drugs used from the inventory and sex scenes. The rating is still PEGI 18.
Rockstar's president pulls out “for personal reasons” of the only interview planned before launch. Dan Houser, who left in 2020, is avoiding the game so it doesn't distract him.
A Warhorse co-founder says only Rockstar dares to raise prices and that it's “necessary for this business to survive”. GTA 6 costs $80 and, according to Take-Two, the $100 edition is the top seller.
The biggest leak in the series, a tribunal over sackings, 30 FPS, no online, the row with Miami, censorship in China and a rating that mentions sex and decapitation. Everything that has gone wrong, with what's confirmed and what isn't.
On 18 November, against the Bucks at Kaseya Center, the Heat will take the court as Vice City. They announced it with Rockstar, the rooftop sign is already lit and there's a clothing line on sale.
The ESRB rates it M with seven descriptors, including strong sexual content, plus the in-game purchases label. In Australia the store mentions sex scenes and the rating is R18+. And the online interaction label is missing.
The British magazine devotes issue 27 to GTA 6, with new images of the couple. Rockstar explains its leads and frames the story as a more modest American dream: a house and your loans paid off.
We go through the screenshots Rockstar gave Game Informer one by one: Ambrosia's biker gang, Jason hunting, Lucia with a customised rifle, alligators in Grassrivers and details like sunburn.
More from Game Informer's cover story: the romance is optional but shapes the story, there will be decisions with consequences, some missions only open with enough income, and there's no Disney World.
GTA 6 launches on 19 November and the show is on 10 December. It can compete on dates, but in 2025 nominations came before the cutoff: the jury would have to vote without playing it.
Dutch police arrested a 24-year-old man on 15 September whom the FBI places at the top of the group. He is also being investigated for allegedly trying to incite two murders. It is not the August leak case.
The cover story is now free to read. Aaron Garbut says it is Rockstar's biggest map by some degree, the six regions are described, and mini golf, billiards, kayaking and zoos are confirmed.
Rockstar confirms to Game Informer more than 60 types of birds and 30 land mammals, Florida's native and invasive wildlife, and Rare, Discoverable and Legendary animals you can track.
