Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick in the company's latest earnings call announced Grand Theft Auto VI has gone gold.
"Right now, Rockstar has completed the development of GTA VI," said Zelnick. "That may not come as a surprise to you since we're 10 days away from the release. They have done their very best work, and it's going to come to consumers soon."
He added Rockstar are "in the middle of their marketing campaign, which, also, unsurprisingly, is fully baked. So at this point it’s the job of the organization to make sure that we do an A-plus job technically in delivering this product to consumers."
Rockstar Games has also announced pre-loading is now available for everyone that has pre-ordered the digital version of Grand Theft Auto VI.
The game is targeting 30 frames per second on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, will support the PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
Grand Theft Auto VI will launch for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.

Can't 'go gold' until it gets an actual disc release.
I wonder how much of their decision to go discless can be attributed to wanting to release this year but thinking they might not have enough time to finish the game early enough to allow for the discs to be manufactured in time for the planned release date. I'm guessing not a lot, but cutting it this close to release makes me think that this might also have played a part.
It's a valid theory.
Does that mean zero chance of a delay?
The game "went gold" only 10 days before release? Oh, that thing is coming out unfinished, isn't it?
“pre-loading is now available for everyone that has pre-ordered the digital version”
What is the point of them saying this given there is no physical version?
Cutting it sort of close there
It's digital only, including the physical copies which are just a code-in-a-box, so that means it could go gold the day before release and still be fine. The only thing is just Rockstar uploading the completed version to PlayStation/Xbox servers for people to download.
Oh yeah i forgot that disgusting move
