Rockstar Games schedules the GTA 6 release date for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, based on primary sources checked September 3, 2026. Before evaluating a related prediction-market contract, traders should separate that publisher schedule from the contract's deadline. November 19 and November 30 answer different questions.
Primary sources checked: Rockstar's official launch-date announcement, the official Grand Theft Auto VI page, Take-Two's investor-relations release, and Kalshi's dated GTA6 event response.
Rockstar's Newswire headline says, “Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Set to Launch November 19, 2026.” The official game page independently displays “Coming November 19, 2026.” Take-Two's June 24, 2026 investor release publishes the same date.
The checked publisher sources list these scheduled launch platforms:
The official Rockstar launch-platform block checked on September 3 did not list Windows. Kalshi's rules refer to Windows as part of the contract's platform scope, but that language should not be treated as a Rockstar announcement that a Windows version will launch on November 19.
“Set to launch” describes a scheduled future date, not a guarantee. Publisher calendars can change, so Rockstar and Take-Two remain the appropriate sources for updates to the product schedule.
Kalshi's official API identifies the KXGTA6 series and a GTA6 event containing deadline-based contracts. At the September 3 snapshot, the active iteration following Rockstar's scheduled date was KXGTA6-26NOV30, subtitled “By Nov 30, 2026.”
Its compact API rule stated exactly: “If GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) has been released on a major platform (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows) by Nov 30, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.”
This is not an exact November 19 contract. November 19 is Rockstar's scheduled launch date, while November 30 is the contract threshold. A trader should not substitute one date for the other or assume that the publisher's current schedule determines the contract outcome in advance.
The linked KXGTA6 terms sheet contains additional definitions concerning the relevant U.S. date, full release, covered platforms, alpha and beta exclusions, announced dates, and trading timing. The specific listed contract, its live rules, and its terms sheet control interpretation. Current availability, prices, fees, and exact settlement rules must be checked directly through Kalshi markets.
The dated GTA6 API response contained nine nested markets:
Those counts describe the API response checked September 3, 2026, at 05:52:01 UTC. They do not establish the market state after that timestamp. This static guide does not reproduce prices, quote data, volume, open interest, liquidity, or implied probabilities.
Kalshi also had a separate series record named KXGTA6ONTIME. However, its open-event query returned zero events at the snapshot. A series record is not evidence that an open contract exists.
Before trading, check the exact market rather than relying on headlines or an older API snapshot:
The CFTC filing listed Kalshi with status “Designated” when checked September 3, 2026. That regulator-level record does not establish the availability, eligibility, fees, rules, or outcome of any GTA-related contract.
Readers can also follow the @Kalshi_market channel for general market notes, while treating Kalshi's own listing and rule pages as the controlling sources.
Rockstar Games schedules Grand Theft Auto VI for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That answer is based on Rockstar's Newswire announcement, its official game page, and Take-Two's investor release, all checked September 3, 2026. Because the date remains forward-looking, readers should check Rockstar for later changes.
The official Rockstar game page checked September 3, 2026 lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the November 19 launch. It does not list Windows in that launch-platform block. Windows appears in Kalshi's contract scope, but contract wording is not an official Rockstar announcement about Windows timing.
The September 3 API snapshot described a Yes resolution if GTA 6 had been released on a major platform, identified as PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or Windows, by November 30, 2026. Traders should read the exact live contract and linked terms sheet because they contain more detailed definitions and control settlement interpretation.
The KXGTA6ONTIME series existed in Kalshi's API, but a query limited to open events returned zero results at the September 3, 2026 snapshot. That does not prove its status at a later time. A series record alone is not an open contract, so current availability must be verified directly on Kalshi.
