"Grand Theft Auto 6 will not launch on previous-gen consoles. The only confirmed platforms for the game are PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. The development more or less locks in GTA 6's November 19 release date. The game has been delayed twice, but recent comments from Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick and now PlayStation's email to PS4 users suggest there won't be any more delays."

"Sony reaching out to users also suggests a wider marketing push for GTA 6 could begin soon. Take-Two reportedly has a marketing deal with Sony, and CEO Strauss Zelnick has previously said that Rockstar will kick off launch marketing for the game this summer. A third GTA 6 trailer, along with price and pre-order details, could thus arrive in the coming weeks."

Sony has reportedly sent emails to PS4 users who have GTA 6 on their PlayStation Store wishlist, urging them to buy a PS5 to be ready for the game’s launch. The message states that GTA VI will launch on November 19, 2026, and includes a link to purchase a PS5. Similar emails have also been reported by some GTA 5 players on PS4. GTA 6 is stated to not launch on previous-generation consoles, with confirmed platforms limited to PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. The timing and messaging suggest the release date is likely fixed and that broader launch marketing could begin soon, including a third trailer and pre-order details.
