Updated

Ahead of GTA 6's launch, news on November 12, 2026 covered a near-refused South Korean rating, new Rockstar footage and details, and tie-in promotions. South Korea's GCRB required three reviews and nearly refused a rating over out-of-context genital nudity. Rockstar released more in-game footage that fans found hard to believe was real, and Rob Nelson told The Guardian that Jason can eat a donut while drinking a beer. Burger Shot is opening real locations in Florida with Skinny Louie, Popeyes launched a Spice City sandwich, and Asda offered a preorder deal. Pocketpair is giving staff five days off for the launch, and Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick said physical games will persist in a very small way.
