Common questions
Is the November 19, 2026 date confirmed?
Yes, by Rockstar. It has moved twice before, so "confirmed" means confirmed as of the last check on this page rather than guaranteed.

Will there be a PC version?
None has been announced. Rockstar has released previous Grand Theft Auto games on PC after a console window, so most people expect one, but there is no announcement and therefore no date.

Is this a remake of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City?
