Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed during the company’s fiscal Q2 2027 earnings call that Rockstar Games has completed development of GTA 6. The game is ready for its November 19, 2026 release.
What happened?
On the November 9, 2026 earnings call, Zelnick stated: “Right now, Rockstar has completed the development of GTA VI.” He added that the team has done their very best work and the game will reach consumers soon.
In an interview with IGN, the executive reinforced that there will be no further delays. The launch remains set for November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading is already available in many regions.
Why this matters
“Gone gold” means the main build is finished and approved for digital and physical distribution. Day-one patches can still ship, but the game is ready to reach players.
After years of development and two previous delays, the official confirmation ends speculation about further postponements so close to launch. Pre-orders have already exceeded Take-Two’s expectations.
What changes in practice
Those who pre-ordered can continue downloading the pre-load. The launch is at midnight local time on November 19. There is still no PC release date.
Zelnick also noted that there is plenty of content for players to explore even after finishing the main campaign.
