Insider says GTA 6 review copies are out, reviews due
Quick answer: Rumored review copies: NateTheHate says Rockstar has begun sending keys (per iXBT.games)
A gaming insider known as NateTheHate says Rockstar Games has begun sending out keys and review copies of GTA 6, according to iXBT.games. The site reports the first reviews are expected on November 18, two days before the game's November 19, 2026 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. The claim is unconfirmed, and Rockstar has not published a review date of its own.
iXBT.games reports that journalists and bloggers have about three weeks to finish the main storyline, explore the open world and try the various activities before launch. The site also says earlier speculation that Rockstar would withhold preview copies and run a closed event instead appears to be wrong.
Separately, Sundayguardianlive.com reports that insider Detective Seeds says fears of another delay should be "put aside." Seeds also suggests that Trailer 3 may arrive independently or during a PlayStation showcase. Sundayguardianlive.com attributes a rumored PS5 GTA 6 bundle to reports, not to Rockstar, and it has not been confirmed.
Rockstar has not announced a third trailer, a PlayStation showcase appearance or a PS5 bundle, and it has not confirmed when reviews will publish.
