Pre-orders for GTA VI will begin on June 25. Rockstar has unveiled the cover art, but the pricing has not been announced yet.

      TL;DR: Pre-orders for GTA VI will begin on June 25 for PlayStation, Xbox, and select retailers, with a launch date set for November 19. The cover art has been unveiled, but no pricing or edition details have been provided yet.

      Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will start on June 25. The game can be purchased through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and select retailers. The official cover art has also been revealed, showcasing protagonists Jason and Lucia along with scenes from the game's Vice City environment.

      GTA VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no release date for PC announced. Rockstar is maintaining the console-first strategy it employed for GTA V, which was launched on PC about 18 months after its initial console release.

      The pricing remains unconfirmed, but the standard edition is anticipated to be priced between $70 and $80, consistent with current AAA titles. Details on various editions or premium bundles have not yet been shared.

      The cover art features multiple panels highlighting characters, a helicopter, a crocodile, a boat with a flamingo, and several other figures from the game. Players can add GTA VI to their wishlist to receive notifications when pre-orders become available.

      Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick affirmed that the game is entirely handcrafted without the use of generative AI. He stated that Rockstar’s worlds are crafted “building by building, street by street,” which positions GTA VI as the most costly and public examination of whether human artistry retains its value in an industry increasingly relying on AI tools.

      GTA V has sold nearly 230 million copies across three console generations and continues to earn revenue through its online mode. Take-Two anticipates that GTA VI will “set new record levels of operating performance.” The release date in November has already impacted the gaming calendar, prompting major publishers to move their launches out of that month.
