GTA 6 will be nominated for The Game Awards 2026: the release fits within the selection window

The organizers of The Game Awards 2026 have published the selection conditions: games released no later than Friday, November 20, 2026 can become contenders. Grand Theft Auto 6, with a planned release date of November 19, fits into this window just a day before it closes.

The ceremony will take place on December 10, so the jury and spectators will have less than a month to play through the game and decide on their vote. Previously, GTA 6 had already received a statuette from The Game Awards - in 2025, the project won in the “Most Anticipated Game” category.

What else is known

• GTA 6 will not be able to participate in the Golden Joystick Awards 2026: the ceremony will take place on November 11, and by that time the game will not yet be on sale.
• Betting markets place GTA 6's chances of winning Game of the Year at around 68%.
• The release is planned exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S; the PC version, according to insiders, will appear in the first quarter of 2027.

The release date of GTA 6 has already been postponed, so players are cautiously optimistic about the schedule. It hasn't officially changed yet.
