Rockstar Games has confirmed pre-orders for the long-awaited GTA 6 will open on June 25, 2026.
This will kick off the next big phase of Grand Theft Auto 6’s marketing push. After circling rumored retailer leaks for months, the info is now official, and players can finally lock in their copy of GTA 6 ahead of its Nov. 19, 2026 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The message is also live on Rockstar’s official website. Take a look at the official cover art below:
The timing or any preorder bonus details are yet to be revealed, but the news lines up with Take-Two’s statement that GTA 6 marketing would ramp up in the summer.
You can go ahead and wishlist the game right now from PlayStation and Xbox storefronts. June 25 might deliver our best look yet at how Rockstar wants to present Jason, Lucia, and Vice City.
What fans should do next and expect from GTA 6 pre-orders
If you’re planning to grab GTA 6 as soon as pre-orders open, keep a close eye on Rockstar’s official site and your platform’s digital storefront around late June.
Grand Theft Auto cover designs have become iconic over the years, often setting the tone for the entire game. Locking in the GTA 6 cover now signals that Rockstar is entering the final marketing stretch, with a clear visual identity ready for retail shelves, digital listings, and promotional campaigns worldwide.
Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers.

Given how heavily GTA Online has supported GTA 5 for over a decade, it would be no surprise if some pre-order incentives connect directly to GTA 6’s online component, whether through early access cosmetics, bonus in-game cash, or exclusive vehicles at launch. Rockstar is keeping those details under wraps for now.
With the pre-order date now locked and the cover art revealed, the GTA 6 hype is entering a new phase. In the coming days, we should get more concrete details regarding editions, pricing, and maybe even another closer look at Vice City before launch.
