GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox: still no PC version, and firmware 14.22 raises questions

According to Rockstar's official page, Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the tag "plays best on PS5". Pre-orders are open, pre-loading starts on November 10, and a "Vintage Vice City Pack" bonus is offered, along with an Ultimate Edition.

For PC and Steam Deck players, the page mentions no PC version. Rockstar has announced nothing, and a Steam Deck could only run the game after a possible port. The PC dates circulating (late 2027, or February 2027 according to one leak) are unconfirmed estimates.

Firmware 14.22 and the jailbreak scene

On November 2, Sony released PS5 firmware 26.07-14.22.00, whose only official note reads "some security fixes" (PSU). Unconfirmed rumors claim GTA 6 will require at least this version; neither Rockstar nor Sony has confirmed it. For the homebrew scene, there is no public jailbreak beyond firmware 13.60: if your console is on 14.10 or lower and you hope for a future exploit, do not update, because downgrading is impossible, but check what the game really requires before deciding.

You can pre-order on Rockstar's page; your console's firmware version is shown in its settings, and the PlayStation support page lists the latest published version. This moves fast: recheck before November 19.
