Going gold means the launch build is finished and pressed for certification. It's the version reviewers and players get on November 19, which is why the milestone is treated as the point of no return for a release date. Take-Two hasn't shared the download size, or whether Xbox pre-orders get a preload like PlayStation's. [GTA 6 goes gold as Take-Two confirms November 19 release stays on track — The Daily Game News]
The game returns to Vice City, inside the fictional state of Leonida. It arrives more than 13 years after Grand Theft Auto V, after a development run that stretches back at least eight years to the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2. Pre-orders opened on June 25.

PC players are the exception. A PC version is planned, but Rockstar has given it no date, so November 19 belongs to the two consoles alone. [Games to look forward to in November 2026: GTA 6, Zelda, Football Manager 27 and more — Log]
The rest of November bent around the date. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time arrived on Switch 2 on November 5, Football Manager 27 on November 10, and Metaphor: ReFantazio reaches Switch 2 on November 12. Death Stranding 2 joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on November 17, two days before Leonida opens.
