The launch list

Official Take-Two printed it on 24 June 2026: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, US$79.99 Standard. That pairing has not changed since Trailer 1. The current date locked on 6 November 2025. The compact facts table is what’s confirmed.

PC — not published

PC is not on the official launch list. There is no date. There is no graphics-card table. There is no official PC price. The empty GPU chart lives on system requirements. It is empty on purpose. The dedicated card is GTA 6 on PC.

Take-Two’s June 24 release names two consoles. That is the record. Publisher talk about “starts on console” is not a PC window.

Reported GamesBeat, citing four unnamed industry sources, says Rockstar plans the PC version for the first three months of 2027. Eurogamer, VGC and Kotaku carried the report; Eurogamer notes “A Rockstar Games representative did not respond to a request for comment”. Not confirmed Rockstar has not announced a PC version.

Last-gen is not on the list

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are not on the official launch list. A download-code box is not last-gen support. You still need a current-gen console and the same unpublished storage as a digital copy. Longer card: last-gen.

Nintendo Switch — Unverified listing only

Rockstar and Take-Two have not printed a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 SKU. A French retailer product page that listed Grand Theft Auto VI for Switch 2 is Unverified. Our desk write-up is French Retailer Listing Puts GTA 6 on Switch 2. A store scrape is not Newswire. Until Rockstar prints a Switch line, this tile stays Unverified. (If you meant character switching between Lucia and Jason, that is a different page: character switching.)

“Plays Best On PS5” is a slogan

Sony’s PlayStation Blog ran a 24 June 2026 partner post: Grand Theft Auto VI “plays best on PS5.” That is platform marketing. It is not a Rockstar benchmark paper. It does not add a third console. It does not kick Xbox off the list.

Official: PlayStation Blog, 24 June 2026 · Xbox store listing

Pre-load needs the same console

Digital pre-load is 12 November 2026, local midnight. You still need a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X|S. A download date is not a PC port. The November card is the pre-load checklist. Side-content honesty card: side activities.

Official: Take-Two PR

Where they sell it

Take-Two named PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store, and global retailers. We do not rank them. We do not take a cut. Regional storefronts set their own currency. The dollar figure on the US price is from 24 June 2026.

Even if he had the build, Rockstar sat on RDR2 leaks for months and it didn't hurt it one bit.
