Grand Theft Auto VI Pre-Orders Open with Two Editions
Rockstar Games opened Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders on June 25, 2026, following its June 18 announcement.
News summary
Orders are available through the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Rockstar Store, and select retailers, with country coverage varying by storefront.
Purchases made before November 20 include the Vintage Vice City Pack, while digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+.
The boxed Standard Edition contains a digital download code instead of a disc, and Rockstar does not offer a physical Ultimate Edition.
PlayStation download codes must match the buyer's account region; Xbox codes are not region-locked.
Rockstar confirms PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for launch, with no PC date announced in the cited material.
Announcement overview
US platform stores list the Standard Edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99. Standard owners can add the $20 Ultimate Edition Upgrade after their game code has been redeemed, including buyers of the physical Standard Edition.
Digital preloading starts at local midnight on November 12. Physical Standard Edition copies are expected to ship or become available for pickup the same day, but the code-in-box format still requires the full game download before play.
Key details
Store availability and PlayStation code redemption depend on the country tied to the buyer's platform account, so Rockstar advises purchasing from a matching supported region.
