GTA 6 release date France — 19 November 2026

GTA 6 comes out in France on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Official. Xbox France lists 79,99 € Standard and 99,99 € Ultimate Store listing. New here? Start here.

France shares a calendar date with Berlin and a ratings family with London. It does not share Xbox’s product naming. The French Microsoft listing prints Édition Ultime and pack Vintage Vice City. Same locker. Different shop language. That is the point of a country page.

France is on heure d’hiver in November. “19 November” is a Thursday in Paris. Rockstar printed the date. They did not print minuit pile. Overseas departments are other clocks — we are not inventing a Réunion unlock.

Pre-load: 12 November 2026, local midnight. You load the files. You do not start the story. Pre-load checklist.

The French stickers we actually fetched

Xbox France — xbox.com/fr-FR — printed 79,99 € and 99,99 €, with the upgrade at 20,00 €. The copy says “Achetez le jeu avant le 20 novembre” for the Vintage pack and the GTA+ month. That matches Take-Two’s before-the-20th cutoff, in French.

PlayStation France — playstation.com/fr-fr — exists. The marketing page did not print a euro price this pass. Fnac and Micromania typically list a Rockstar launch. We do not have an official chain SKU and will not invent one. Start at rockstargames.com/VI.

PEGI, not a CNC surprise

Rating check, 7 October 2026: PEGI not certified — a PEGI.info search for Grand Theft Auto VI returns “Found 0 results.” The PlayStation Store in France shows a PEGI 18 badge (Store listing). Reported: PEGI posted a PEGI 18 page with a detailed content note on 2 October and pulled it the same day (IGN, VGC) — PEGI page pulled. A store badge isn’t PEGI’s certificate, so we keep the labels apart. Every region: ratings.

France uses PEGI for these consoles. Take-Two’s June no-rating-yet line is out of date: PEGI posted a PEGI 18 for Grand Theft Auto VI on 2 October 2026 and then pulled the page, so it stays Reported until PEGI puts it back (in the US, the ESRB rates it M for Mature 17+). PlayStation Support still says unconfirmed and points at GTA V — PEGI 18 in Europe. That is V. We will not write “c’est PEGI 18” for VI. The English rating card is ratings.

Reported, week of 22 September: official Grand Theft Auto VI posters and dummy cases appeared in UK shops (IBTimes UK). Final rating: not announced at the time of the posters; see our age rating page.

Extended Look from Paris

27 August 2026 — already aired. Peninsula was still heure d’été that day. Netflix at 3:00 p.m. ET was 9:00 p.m. in Paris. YouTube and the VI site at 9:00 p.m. ET was 3:00 a.m. on Friday. Same arithmetic as Berlin. Different city. The hub is Extended Look.

What French threads ask

The r/GTA6 question that shows up with a .fr flag is still PC — “sortira quand sur Steam.” There is no official PC date. There is no official PC price in euros. Take-Two’s June sheet names two consoles. Platforms is the hardware list. Confirmed: confirmed. FAQ: faq. Calendar: calendar.

French shop language

Hard stop — France

PEGI 18 stays Reported until PEGI restores its page. No invented Fnac midnight hour. No Réunion unlock. Local midnight is Support’s pre-load wording on the 12th. US ET primary stays on the US page.
