Pre-Orders Open June 25

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will begin on June 25, giving fans a clear date to secure their copy ahead of launch. The announcement confirms that pre-orders will open through digital storefronts and other select retailers.

It is the most concrete buying milestone yet on the road to the November 19, 2026 release, and it lands right as Rockstar shifts into its final stretch of pre-launch promotion.

Wishlist Now to Beat the Rush

Players can already add Grand Theft Auto VI to their wishlist on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store. This allows fans to receive an alert as soon as pre-orders go live, which is useful for anyone waiting to grab the game the moment it becomes available.

Both storefronts line up with the confirmed lineup in our platforms guide: GTA 6 is launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, so a wishlist on either platform keeps you first in line.

Alongside the pre-order news, Rockstar also revealed the official GTA 6 cover art. The artwork is now available through the Grand Theft Auto VI website, together with downloadable media and new promotional visuals collected in our official artwork gallery. For fans following every detail, this is well worth checking out, as the new artwork may give us more hints about the game’s tone, characters and Vice City setting.
