How we'll add a bug

A bug goes on this page only when Rockstar acknowledges it (on its Newswire, support site or official social accounts), or when several outlets report the same problem from retail copies. Each entry will say which console it affects, the date it was first reported, a workaround if one is confirmed, and whether a patch fixed it. Fixed issues stay listed with a "Fixed" label so you can see what changed.

Before launch: avoid the obvious problems

Most launch-day trouble with big games comes down to storage and downloads. Check you have at least 212 GB free with the storage checker, read the file size guide, and pre-load early using the times on GTA 6 pre-load. If you bought a boxed copy, remember it's a code, so you'll still need to download the game.

FAQ

Are there any known GTA 6 bugs?

Not yet. GTA 6 isn't out until 19 November 2026, so there are no real launch reports. We'll list them here once they exist.

Is there a GTA 6 day-one patch?

Rockstar hasn't published a day-one patch or its size. We'll add it when Rockstar does.

Where do I report a GTA 6 bug?

After launch, use Rockstar Support at support.rockstargames.com. We'll link the exact page once GTA 6 has one.

Why won't GTA 6 start before 19 November?

Pre-loading only downloads the files. The game stays locked until it launches on 19 November 2026.
