Grand Theft Timeline release date, price and platforms

When does Grand Theft Timeline come out?

Steam shows “Planned Release Date: 19 Nov, 2026” under the heading “Coming Soon To Early Access” Steam. As of 13 November the store said the game “plans to unlock in approximately 6 days”. The store has not given a time of day, so the exact unlock hour in your time zone is not published yet. Until then the page only lets you add the game to your wishlist; it is not out yet and cannot be bought or pre-ordered.

The date did not appear out of nowhere. Here is how the plan narrowed, with each step’s source:

1. 9 Jul 2026Official Announcement Trailer goes up on the REAL PLAYERS YouTube channel. Official
2. 31 Jul 2026Asked for a date on the forum, the developer answers “next few months”. Developer
3. 12 Aug 2026Steam news “100,000 Wishlists”: the release plan is “still for Q4”. Steam
4. 22 Oct 2026“GTA 6 Release Day Reveal Trailer” on the developer’s channel. Official
5. 25 Oct 2026A free private playtest opens on Discord. Steam
6. 19 Nov 2026Planned Early Access release on Steam. Steam
7. Late 2028Planned full version, after “roughly 24 months” of Early Access. Steam

If you searched for the steam release date because you want to play on day one, the fastest route is to wishlist the game; Steam emails wishlisters when a game unlocks. If you want to play before then, the Discord playtest is the only way in.

Why does it come out on the same day as GTA 6?

Because the developer chose to. The store text ends with “Out November 19, 2026, the same day as GTA 6, I said I’d finish it in time lol”, and the October trailer is literally called the “GTA 6 Release Day Reveal Trailer” Steam. The name, Grand Theft Timeline, is a nod to Grand Theft Auto, and so is the date.

Players have pushed back. Four Steam threads ask the developer to move the date (“Delay it”, “probably a bad idea to release this on november 19th”, two more titled “Release date” and “Same release date as GTA 6.”), arguing that the game will be lost in GTA 6’s shadow. Replying to one of them on 7 November, the developer joked that they would be rich if they had a dollar for every time someone said this Developer. Nothing on Steam suggests the date will move. If it does, this page and the updates page will show it.

One practical note: search results for this game are crowded with GTA timeline videos and articles about the order of the GTA games. Grand Theft Timeline is a separate game by a separate studio, REAL PLAYERS, not a Rockstar product or a GTA spin-off.

How much will Grand Theft Timeline cost? Is it free?

There is no price yet. Steam’s own data for the game has no price entry, and the store page shows only a wishlist button Steam. It is not listed as free to play, so expect a paid game.

So: how much is Grand Theft Timeline on Steam, and how much does Grand Theft Timeline cost at launch? Neither is announced. The best clue is the developer’s own $10-$20 guess, and the store says Early Access buyers may pay less than later buyers if the price rises over time. Any price shown on a key reseller before 19 November is not an official price. Whether there will be a launch discount has not been said.

Is Grand Theft Timeline on Xbox, PS5 or console?

No. Steam lists Windows only; its data marks Mac and Linux as not supported Steam. There is no Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile or Roblox version, and the developer has not announced one anywhere we could find. “Grand theft timeline xbox” is one of the most common searches about the game, so this is worth saying plainly: if you want to play on day one, you need a Windows PC and Steam. Is it coming to Xbox or other consoles later? Nothing says so: neither the store, the announcements nor the developer’s replies mention a console version.

• Steam (Windows): the only store. The developer’s site links to Steam and nothing else Official.
• Steam Cloud and Family Sharing: both listed as supported Steam.
• Roblox: not on Roblox. The Roblox video that shows up for the name is a Brookhaven funny-moments compilation, not this game.
• Steam Deck, controllers: the store says nothing either way yet.

Grand Theft Timeline PC requirements

Steam lists minimum requirements only; the recommended section says just “Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system” Steam.

The broadband line matters even for solo play: plan on being online. These are modest specs for a game whose screenshots mix detailed history worlds with blocky characters, but they are pre-release numbers and may change at launch.

Which languages does Grand Theft Timeline support?

Twelve, all listed on Steam Steam: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Turkish and Portuguese (Brazil). Turkish was added after a player asked for it in August; the developer replied “confirmed will be added” Developer, and it is now in the list. The store does not say which languages have voice-over, and the trailers have no spoken lines.

What does Early Access mean for this game?

The developer’s answers on the store page set out the plan Steam:

• How long: “Roughly 24 months”, with the full version “around late 2028”, longer if players ask for big new features.
• What is in at launch: “The core game is complete and fully playable”: 200+ worlds in 25+ theme packs, 2,000+ NPCs, a boss in every world, the Timeline Arena, the garage zoo, stocks, skins and pets, online co-op and the mod kit with Workshop support. The features page goes through them.
• What is planned (“plans, not promises”): more worlds and theme packs, more game modes besides the main heist, more mod kit tools, and balance and bug fixes.
• Price: may rise gradually during Early Access.
• Feedback: Discord, Steam discussions or the in-game feedback form.

Grand Theft Timeline is made and published by REAL PLAYERS. The developer account answering on the Steam forum is Tbjbu2, which is also the name on the developer’s website. Its genres on Steam are Action, Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG and Simulation.
