Is GTA 6 coming to mobile (iPhone and Android)?

AnswerReportedNot announced (as of Nov 2026)

Not announced. Rockstar and Take-Two list GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Rockstar says Remote Play is fully supported on PlayStation and Xbox, so a console owner may be able to stream to a phone, but that is not a mobile version, and its Xbox Cloud Gaming announcement, like Microsoft’s, names consoles, not phones.

Updated

We found no Rockstar or Take-Two statement about GTA 6 on phones. The closest is a 2022 remark from CEO Strauss Zelnick, reported by GGRecon, that "not every piece of intellectual property belongs in mobile". It was general and not about GTA 6.

Earlier GTA games did reach phones, including Chinatown Wars, Liberty City Stories and the trilogy remasters on Netflix, but those were older games.

Has Take-Two said anything about GTA 6 on phones?

Nothing about GTA 6 that we could find: no statement from Rockstar or Take-Two ties GTA 6 to phones, either way. The closest comment is from October 2022, when Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke to TheWrap. According to GGRecon’s report of October 12, 2022, he said “not every piece of intellectual property belongs in mobile”, and added: “Conceptually, we’d love to, but each one stands alone.”

GGRecon tied the remarks to Take-Two’s purchase of mobile publisher Zynga, and Zelnick named no titles. GGRecon went on to argue that GTA 6 probably won’t be on phones at launch; that is the outlet’s opinion, not Zelnick’s words. What Zelnick said was a general comment from four years ago, and it says nothing about GTA 6 itself.

What does Rockstar say GTA 6 is available on?

Two platforms: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a release date of November 19, 2026. Take-Two’s pre-order announcement lists the same two, and neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has mentioned an iPhone or Android version. Our platforms explainer has the whole picture.

Our advice: as Rockstar hasn’t announced a phone version, treat any app-store listing that calls itself GTA 6 as unofficial.

Can you stream GTA 6 to a phone?

Possibly from your own console, though it would not be a mobile version. Rockstar’s November 10 post says GTA VI will fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox, and the PlayStation Store lists it too. On PS5, Sony’s page says its Remote Play app works on iPhones running iOS 14 or later and on Android, with on-screen controls from Android 9. Sony asks for at least 5Mbps and recommends 15Mbps. The console still runs the game. Rockstar’s post doesn’t mention phones or say how well GTA 6 plays that way.

Cloud streaming is announced, but only Xbox consoles are named. Rockstar’s November 10 post says Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles can play it through Xbox Cloud Gaming, using Xbox Series S graphics settings, and it doesn’t mention phones. Microsoft’s Xbox Wire post the same day, which puts the cloud start at 1am ET on November 19, also names only Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Earlier, after The Verge reported that Xbox had exclusive streaming rights, Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball said the game “will not be streaming exclusively or to PC”, as Kotaku reported. See Xbox’s statement on GTA 6 streaming.

Have earlier GTA games been on mobile?

Yes, several older ones. Chinatown Wars came out on Nintendo DS in March 2009 and reached the iPhone in January 2010, per IGN’s review, and Android in December 2014, according to GTABase. Liberty City Stories arrived on iOS on December 17, 2015, as The Verge reported, and on Android on February 11, 2016.

Rockstar’s App Store listings offer both as a free 30-minute trial and then a one-time purchase: $4.99 for Chinatown Wars and $6.99 for Liberty City Stories in the US when we checked in October 2026. Both started on handhelds, the DS and PSP.

What happened with the GTA trilogy on Netflix?

Netflix announced that the Definitive Edition trilogy, meaning GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, would reach iOS and Android on December 14, 2023. It was free for Netflix members, with no ads or in-app purchases, according to Netflix.

It didn’t last on the service. PocketGamer.biz reported in December 2024 that GTA III and Vice City were leaving Netflix’s library after about a year, and that players would need to buy them from the App Store or Google Play. Mobilegamer.biz reported in November 2025 that San Andreas was listed to leave on December 11, 2025. We haven’t confirmed that it did.

What we don’t know yet

We don’t know whether Rockstar or Take-Two plans any phone version of GTA 6, now or later. Nothing official mentions one, and Zelnick’s 2022 comment was general. We also don’t know if Xbox or anyone else will offer cloud play on phones: Rockstar’s and Microsoft’s cloud announcements name only Xbox consoles, and Ball’s statement covered exclusivity and PC.

We can’t say how Remote Play will run on a phone either: Rockstar hasn’t published controls or performance details for it. If a mobile announcement ever comes, it would come from Rockstar or Take-Two, and we’ll update this page.
