Summary
June 25 marks the start of GTA 6 pre-orders, with Rockstar saying orders go live at midnight local time on digital storefronts and select retailers.
$79.99 buys the Standard Edition, while $99.99 gets the Ultimate Edition, which adds bonus clothes, vehicles and weapons; all pre-orders also include a Vintage Vice City Pack.
November 19, 2026 is the release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with pre-loads beginning November 12.
Physical copies will still be digital-only in practice, with boxes containing a redeemable code rather than a disc, as major retailers had yet to list the game ahead of Thursday.

Grand Theft Auto VI Sets $80 Price Record and Ditches Discs: What Rockstar’s “Code-in-a-Box” Means for Gamers and the Industry
Overview
Grand Theft Auto VI is launching at a standard price of $80, making it the most expensive single game released so far on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Rockstar Games set this price to maximize revenue while avoiding a level that would turn away eager players, justifying the cost with the game's anticipated scale. The $80 price is seen as a balance—high enough to reflect the game's ambition, but still below a point that would cause widespread resistance. Alongside the standard edition, Rockstar is also offering an Ultimate Edition and has announced pre-order availability.
