Read the pair
A how-to about this game usually says one date. Each Rockstar post on this page carries two, and they do different jobs. The statement date is the day the Newswire post went up. The window is the day that post gives the game.
December 5, 2023 pairs with Coming 2025. May 2, 2025 pairs with May 26, 2026. November 6, 2025 pairs with Thursday, November 19, 2026. The May 2 post is the day Rockstar wrote the May 26 window. May 26 is the day that post named. The VI page, read November 1, 2026, shows November 19, 2026.
Trailer 1 sits on two calendars this hub already keeps side by side. The VI site’s trailer list dates that video December 4, 2023. The Newswire dateline is December 5, 2023. Cite the post with the Newswire day. Keep December 4 when you are pointing at the site’s own list.

What stays on the card
The card for a date video holds the three windows, the three statement days, and the line on the VI page. That line, read November 1, 2026, is Coming November 19, 2026.
The November 6, 2025 post names Thursday and the calendar day. Write an hour when the store page you are buying from prints one. The countdown on the hub home counts calendar days on your device toward November 19, 2026.
Current official release line
Rockstar’s VI page, read November 1, 2026, lists November 19, 2026. The Rockstar Store release line is retained from its October 30, 2026 snapshot.
