GTA 6 Reviews: When They Could Be Released

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 releases on November 19, but when will you be able to read reviews?

Insider Gaming reported that reviews for GTA 6 will be posted at some point before November 19, but the exact timing is unknown for now. A scene from GTA 6. What history tells us The last GTA game, GTA 5, was released on September 17, 2013, and reviews for the game were published starting on September 16. For Rockstar's next game, 2018's Red Dead Redemption II, reviews also went live one day prior to release. This doesn't necessarily mean Rockstar will follow the same playbook for GTA 6, however. Nothing is confirmed at this stage. GTA 6 launches on November 19--unless it's delayed again--for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's expected to be the biggest game of 2026 and maybe all time, and it's reportedly on pace to earn $2 billion in revenue before launch. A lot of new details about GTA 6 recently came to light, including how the game originally had a bigger scope and could have launched sooner, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick’s response to a big delay, and the absurd amount of detail in the game. We also learned that GTA 6 did not in fact cost $1.5 billion to make and that an entire studio was spun up to create NPCs. Rockstar also discussed how its GTA 6 realism experiment began with beer and sandwiches and that the studio says it won’t need another eight years to release its next game. Beyond all of this, Rockstar reacted to the game's high-profile hack in 2022.
