Launch day, November 19, 2026, is days away, and Rockstar has shown a lot. Still, some of the questions that matter most to buyers have no official answer yet. This guide separates what is confirmed from what remains open, so you can tell facts from rumor.
What is already official
The date is November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to VGTimes, the extended gameplay showcase released on August 27 was captured on a standard PlayStation 5. The same report says Rob Nelson of Rockstar North said in an interview that console builds were running at 30 FPS at that stage of development.
What Rockstar still hasn’t revealed
| Topic | Status |
|---|---|
| 60 FPS mode | Not confirmed. Rockstar said it was not ready to guarantee one, with the decision up to the technical team. |
| Console resolution | No official figure for PS5, PS5 Pro or Xbox. |
| Ray tracing and graphics modes | No official details. A 40 FPS mode is circulating as a rumor. |
| PC version | Not officially announced. |
| Download size | No official figure so far. |
| Price | Retailers list prices from US$79.99, but that is not a Rockstar announcement. |
Xbox Series S
The entry-level console is on the platform list, but Rockstar has not detailed resolution or frame rate on it. See what we know in GTA 6 on Xbox Series S.
How to read the rumors
Any resolution, fps or file-size figure that appears before Rockstar publishes it is speculation. Without an official source, we label it as a rumor at Vicewave FM. The fps discussion is in GTA 6 at 30 fps.

What has been answered since October
OFFICIAL: pre-load opened on November 10 for pre-order customers, and Rockstar’s FAQ, updated Nov 3, says the download needs up to 212 GB. So the “download size” line above is partly answered: a pre-load figure exists, but it is not the final size on every platform.
What to check on the 19th
When the game launches, check Newswire and the official page first for a day-one patch, graphics modes and storage requirements. We will update this list as Rockstar answers.
