Rockstar Games Announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival for November 21

Perhaps the biggest event in the gaming industry for all of 2026 will take place on November 19th—the release of GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The anticipation is building day by day, with millions of players worldwide ready to dive into the virtual version of Miami. Meanwhile, the developers have announced a special event occurring in the real-life city.

On their X page, Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival —as the title suggests, a music festival dedicated to the game. It will take place in Miami on November 21, just two days after the game's release. The developers aim to showcase the musical diversity of Vice City and Leonida Keys. The event is organized through a collaboration between Rockstar Games and PlayStation, featuring artists whose voices will be heard on the in-game radio stations, including Travis Scott, Justice, Kodak Black, and many others.

Interestingly, in the comments, people joke that many might skip the concert since it will take place just two days after the release, and a lot of gamers won’t want to leave GTA 6. However, as mentioned earlier, participants will be selected through a random lottery, so not everyone will be lucky enough to attend the event.

Speaking of other GTA 6 news, a few hours ago gamers in New Zealand became the first to preload the game. Now, players from Asian countries—including India, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and South Korea—as well as Australia have joined them. Everyone else will be able to preload the game starting tomorrow, November 10th.

Additionally, well-known insider and data miner Tez2 revealed several features of GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 Pro, including a special version of PSSR 2, support for 120 Hz/high frame rate modes, and potentially 40 FPS. However, as he mentioned on GTAForums, the final decision on this last point rests with Rockstar Games. The studio has not officially commented on GTA 6’s features for the PS5 Pro.
