Rockstar Games has announced that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will open on June 25, 2026. Along with this news, the studio also unveiled the game's official cover art, which is now available on Rockstar's website.
The game is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A version for PC has not yet been confirmed.
The pre-order date is part of Rockstar's larger marketing strategy, which Take-Two Interactive indicated would increase in intensity over the summer.
What GTA 6 Pre-Orders Open With and How to Pre-Order
Rockstar has not announced any details yet, including special editions or tiered pre-order packages, pricing, or specific pre-order bonuses.
Since GTA Online has supported GTA 5 for more than a decade, early pre-order incentives might include items like early access cosmetics, in-game currency, or exclusive vehicles for the online mode when GTA 6 is released.
The official cover art is the first major piece of marketing material released ahead of launch, following the trailers and screenshots that were previously shared.
Pre-orders will become available on June 25 through several platforms. Customers can visit Rockstar Games' official website at rockstargames.com/VI, where the game will be listed.
It will also be available on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, with the option to wishlist the game on both storefronts. Users can add the game to their wishlist now to receive a notification when pre-orders open.
Context
GTA 6 has become the focal point of the gaming industry's 2026 release schedule. A Plague Tale developer, Asobo, recently confirmed that studios worldwide have planned their release calendars around the November launch, with most major fall titles scheduled within a six-week window before GTA 6's debut.
Despite being more than a decade old, GTA 5 continues to sell over a million copies each quarter, with PS5 sales alone estimated at 1.8 million copies for 2026.
The ongoing sales of GTA 5 and revenue from GTA Online have provided Rockstar with the financial flexibility to delay GTA 6 multiple times, allowing the studio to meet its standards.
Analysis of Rockstar North's financial documents indicates that the studio has spent more than $2 billion on the development of GTA 6. Industry estimates suggest the game could sell up to 45 million copies on PS5 in its first week.
GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2026, with pre-orders opening on June 25.
