GoKawiilAfter more than a decade of anticipation, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally coming out. Rockstar Games is set to release the game on Nov. 19, and you can preorder the standard edition for $80 or the Ultimate Edition for $100 now. Before the game’s release, Netflix is streaming an extended look at GTA 6 at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on Aug. 27. YouTube will also be streaming the extended preview a few hours later at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT) on the same day.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be a juggernaut once Rockstar releases it. After the company nailed down a November release date, almost every other game publisher steered clear of that month. When Rockstar delayed GTA 6 in 2025, industry analysts predicted publishers would adjust their release calendars to avoid competing with the gaming juggernaut.
“Publishers will undoubtedly shuffle around their release schedules to avoid going head-to-head with GTA 6,” Piers Harding-Rolls, research director of games at Ampere Analysis, told GamesIndustry.biz at the time.
The result is that August, September and October have at least 30 releases across those months, including heavy hitters like Marvel’s Wolverine on Sept. 15 and Gears of War: E-Day on Oct. 6. According to GameRant, only Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is willing to challenge GTA 6 and is scheduled for release on Nov. 3, about two weeks before Rockstar releases GTA 6.
So far, we know that GTA 6 follows star-crossed lovers Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida, loosely based on Miami and Florida, respectively.
In early trailers, we see Jason working as a handyman and muscle for local drug smuggler Brian Heder, and we watch as Lucia is released from the Leonida Penitentiary. We also see both characters rob a store, fight others and take part in the seedy underworld of Vice City. The trailers make it clear that Jason and Lucia will work together and do almost anything to give each other the life they dream of.
