Pune, 13th November 2026: Grand Theft Auto VI releases on Thursday, 19 November 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, six days from now. It will not launch on PC or on older PS4 and Xbox One consoles, as reported by The Tribune and Esquire India.
Searches for the release date have shot up across India this week, as the launch is now just days away.
GTA 6 price in India
Indian reports put the Standard Edition at Rs 5,999 and the Ultimate Edition at Rs 7,499. Rockstar Games has not confirmed these as official Indian prices in the reports we checked, so treat them as indicative.
The safest way to know what you will pay is to check the listing on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store for India, or with an authorised retailer. Store discounts and bank offers can change the final amount.
Editions and what you get
According to Esquire India:
- Standard Edition: the base game, one month of GTA+ and a Vintage Vice City bonus pack.
- Ultimate Edition: the same, plus a classic car collection, Vice City-themed styles and personalised weapon variants.
Digital pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026. Pre-loading, which lets you download the game before launch day, opens about a week before release.
Platforms: no PC, no PS4
The game is built for PS5 (including PS5 Pro) and Xbox Series X and S only. Esquire India reported that a PC version is expected in the first quarter of 2027, but Rockstar has not announced a date.
Anyone planning to buy a console for the launch should check storage. Large open-world games often need well over 100 GB, so an external SSD may be needed on the base consoles.
Setting and story
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional state modelled on Florida, with a modern version of Vice City at its centre. The two playable leads are Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
The game is rated 18+, so it is meant for adult players. Parents should note the rating before buying for teenagers.
Buying in Pune
Physical copies at local gaming stores and electronics chains depend on stock, so call ahead on launch day. Online buyers should order only from authorised sellers. Fake “GTA 6 PC download” links and cheap “pre-order” offers on social media are common, and many carry malware or ask for payment for nothing.
Should you pre-order or wait
Pre-ordering a digital copy lets you pre-load the game and play when it unlocks. Waiting a few days lets you see early reviews, performance reports and any launch-day fixes. If you plan to buy a console only for this game, compare bundle offers, since retailers often run launch deals.
What is not confirmed yet
Rockstar has not confirmed the official Indian price, the global unlock time in IST, or the final download size. We will update this story on launch day. For more gadget news, see our tech section and our report on the iPhone Duo price in India.
