Rockstar's GTA 6 slated for Nov 19, 2026 launch with 35 million‑copy sales forecast

Rockstar Games confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch worldwide on 19 November 2026. Wall Street analyst firm Piper Sandler projects the title will sell about 35 million copies between November 2026 and April 2027, generating roughly $1 billion in pre‑order revenue and day‑one sales expected to exceed 25 million units. The analyst upgraded Take‑Two Interactive to an Overweight rating with a price target of $280 per share.

In India, leaked pricing details suggest a standard edition above ₹7,499, a Digital Deluxe edition at ₹9,499 and a Collector’s edition near ₹22,999. The game will feature two lead characters, Jason and Lucia, with rumours of a third playable protagonist. The map centers on a Vice‑City‑inspired version of Florida, larger than GTA V, and adds smarter weather systems, an in‑game social‑media layer and a “love‑meter” mechanic. Post‑launch catalysts include the GTA 6 Online mode, a PC release and next‑gen console versions.
