GTA 6 has no Game Pass day-one date
GTA 6 is not announced for Xbox Game Pass Not confirmed. It launches 19 November on Xbox Series X|S as a paid game Official. New here? Start here.
19 November is Xbox Series. That is not a Game Pass tile. Nobody printed day one.
Thursday, 19 November 2026. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is the launch list. Being on Xbox Series is not the same as being in Game Pass.
Take-Two’s 24 June 2026 sheet is Standard and Ultimate, in US dollars. It is not a Game Pass SKU. Rockstar Newswire, Take-Two, and Xbox have not printed GTA VI as Game Pass day one.
Extended Look already aired (27 August). Hardware: platforms. November dates: pre-load checklist.
Xbox Series is the hardware
Launch is Thursday, 19 November 2026. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That pairing has been on every official date sheet since Trailer 1. The current date locked on 6 November 2025. There is no PC date. There is no last-gen SKU.
A console on the launch list is not a subscription tile. Xbox Series X|S is where you can buy the game. Game Pass is a separate product. Nobody has printed VI onto that tile for day one.

The Xbox store this pass
This pass we fetched the Xbox store listing for Grand Theft Auto VI. It does not print “Included with Game Pass.” It is a buy listing. Official: Xbox store, Grand Theft Auto VI.
Take-Two’s 24 June 2026 sheet is in US dollars: Standard US$79.99, Ultimate US$99.99. Those are paid SKUs. They are not a Game Pass price.
What a listing is not
No later Game Pass date is printed. Absence this pass is the record, not a never quote. No official day-one listing.
GTA V’s Xbox listing is V.
Reported Xbox cloud: Xbox’s Matthew Ball said on X, per Eurogamer: “We are looking forward to launching GTA 6 on Xbox November 19, though the game will not be streaming exclusively or to PC.” Our card: GTA 6 will not stream to PC.
PlayStation Plus is a different store. This page is Xbox Game Pass.
The boxed SKU is a download code, not a disc. One sentence, then the box card: physical copy. The sleeve goes on sale from 12 November so you can type the code and pre-load. You still play on the 19th.
Age rating: ESRB M for Mature 17+ (Official). Take-Two’s June no-rating-yet line is out of date. Ratings.
