Why it mattersWhat is confirmedWhat is a forecastWhat we don't know yetWhat changedSourcesKey points
- Rockstar lists November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.[1]
- In Brazil, PlayStation lists R$449.90 for the standard edition and R$549.90 for the ultimate edition.[3]
- Take-Two reported net bookings of $6.72 billion for fiscal 2026, and initial guidance of about $8 billion for fiscal 2027.[2]
- Newzoo forecasts $3.3 to $5.2 billion in launch-week sales. This is a model, not reported revenue.[4]
Why it matters
A single game can make up a large part of a publisher's income. How this launch goes shows how much the company, and the industry, depends on one release.[2][4]
What is confirmed
The release date, platforms and Brazilian prices come from the official Rockstar and PlayStation pages. Prices in other countries may differ and should be checked locally.[1][3]
What is a forecast
Newzoo's launch-week range is based on pre-order data and past sales patterns. It is not a result. Take-Two's guidance is also a company projection, and bookings are not the same as profit.[4][2]
What we don't know yet
- Actual launch-week sales. Nothing reported so far measures them.
- Whether a PC version will follow, and when. We did not confirm a date.
- How the online part of the game will be sold.
What changed
- Nov 8, 2026: First draft. Needs human review before publication.
