A post from Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Media Regulation gaming account on X says Grand Theft Auto VI has received a 21-plus rating. The same post says the game will be available starting Nov. 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, though the post itself does not specify a year.
The post also describes Grand Theft Auto VI as a third-person open-world game set in the fictional state of Leonida in the contemporary United States. That matches Rockstar Games’ own framing in a Newswire announcement, where the company said players will experience “the sprawling state of Leonida” and a return to modern-day Vice City.
Rockstar’s announcement is the clearer source on release timing. The company said Grand Theft Auto VI “will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.” The game’s Xbox store page lists the same date and describes it as an action-adventure title for Xbox Series X|S.
So, what is established here is narrower than “GTA VI is officially rated 21-plus everywhere.” The available evidence supports that the regulator’s X post lists a 21-plus rating and a Nov. 19 availability date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, while Rockstar and Xbox separately confirm Nov. 19, 2026, as the game’s release date.
