Rockstar Games has confirmed pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI open on June 25, 2026. Standard $70-80, Deluxe ~$100, with a Collector's edition expected to follow.
After the cover art reveal, Rockstar Games officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders open on Thursday, June 25, 2026. The announcement ends months of speculation about timing — and kicks off what will be the largest game marketing campaign in history.
Available editions
Two editions are confirmed: a Standard Edition expected between $70 and $80, and a Deluxe Edition expected around $100 with in-game bonuses, a digital art-book and possibly early access. A physical Collector's Edition with SteelBook, art-book, and rumored vinyl soundtrack is expected at $149-229 — historically these sell out in under 2 hours.
Where to pre-order
Pre-orders go live simultaneously on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Amazon, GameStop, GAME UK, Best Buy and Fnac. Rockstar will publish a Newswire post at the exact moment pre-orders open with direct links to the official retailer pages. Avoid third-party key resellers like G2A — Rockstar does not distribute through them.
Smart pre-order strategy
Wait for the official June 25 announcement before paying — never trust early retailer listings. For Collector's editions, set an alarm 5 minutes before. Compare PSN / Xbox / Amazon — Amazon historically discounts physical pre-orders 10-15%. PlayStation Plus and Game Pass members may also receive limited-time discounts.
