It’s finally happening. Rockstar Games confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin June 25, 2026, at midnight local time worldwide, ending years of speculation.

Release Date: November 19, 2026

After two delays, GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar says “no indications that the game will face another delay”. A PC version is expected late 2027 or mid-2028.

Pre-loads start November 12, 2026, giving players a full week to download.

The boxed “physical” copy contains a download code, not a disc.

Pre-Order Bonuses: Vintage Vice City Pack + Free GTA+

All pre-orders before November 20, 2026 get the Vintage Vice City Pack, inspired by Vice City’s neon past. It includes:

’55 Vapid Stanier car

Tommy Vercetti-style Palm Tree camo for weapons

Vintage outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia

Digital pre-orders on PlayStation Store also get a free month of GTA+, redeemable for GTA Online and classic Rockstar titles.

Story & Setting: Meet Jason and Lucia

GTA 6 follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a criminal couple in the state of Leonida, a Florida-inspired map anchored by a reimagined Vice City. Rockstar calls it “the biggest and most immersive evolution of the series yet”.

Where to Pre-Order

Pre-orders are live on PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Rockstar Store, Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart. Rockstar is using a regional midnight rollout — already live in New Zealand.

Trailer 3 Coming?

Rockstar replied to comments on Trailer 2: “Consider us busy. June 25”. Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 got new trailers on pre-order day, fueling speculation Trailer 3 could drop this week.
