Rockstar Games has confirmed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially open this week on Thursday, June 25, giving gamers the chance to secure their copy ahead of the November 19 release. The announcement came via a 30-second clip that also unveiled the official cover art, featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia surrounded by iconic GTA elements like fast cars, guns, and women.
Where to Pre-Order GTA VI
Pre-orders will be available at digital storefronts such as the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, as well as at select physical retailers. For those preferring a physical edition, copies can be secured at Amazon, Argos, GAME, The Game Collection, Smyths, and Very. An exact time for pre-orders to go live has not yet been confirmed, but fans can add the game to their wishlist on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store to receive alerts.
Pricing and Editions
While Rockstar has not officially announced pricing, analysts suggest the standard edition could range between £60 and £70, with some speculating a $100 (£75) price point. Details on potential deluxe or limited edition copies remain unconfirmed. Prices are expected to be consistent across retailers, with minor variations.
Game Details and Expectations
GTA VI, set in the fictional Miami-inspired Vice City, marks the first mainline entry in 13 years. Rockstar describes it as the "biggest, most immersive" game in the series. The official synopsis reads: "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."
Industry analyst Tom Henderson told RockStarIntel: "GTA V did a billion in three days, this one is doing a billion in an hour, easy." To achieve this, GTA VI would need to sell 12-14 million copies in around an hour, a feat that many believe is possible given the long wait.
Pre-orders open on June 25 for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, with no word yet on a Nintendo Switch or PC version.
