On 26 October 2026, NateTheHate said Rockstar had begun sending GTA VI review codes with a November 18 embargo. Insider Gaming said it could independently verify that date. Rockstar and Take-Two have not announced any review schedule. Launch remains November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
On 5 November 2026 Rockstar pointed players to a Launch Gallery of new Grand Theft Auto VI screenshots on the official site — Vice City and beyond, two weeks before the 19 November console launch. Pre-load still begins 10 November.
Rob Nelson reportedly told Davy Jones (Flow Games, late Aug 2026) that console builds run at 30 FPS "during this development period" and that a 60 FPS option at launch or later needs the tech team's input. Reported by Kotaku and VGC. No official Rockstar frame-rate spec as of Nov 5, 2026.
