Insider Gaming reports that Grand Theft Auto 6 reviews go live on November 18, 2026, one day before the game's November 19 launch, and cites a NateTheHate2 post saying Rockstar began sending out review code in late October. Andrew Highton's article compares the series' Metacritic scores, from Grand Theft Auto 2's 70 to Grand Theft Auto 4's 98, and says GTA 6 will need near-perfect reviews to match its predecessors.
