‘GTA 6′ pre-orders open on Thursday, 25 June 2026, with the studio confirming the date for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ but holding back official pricing until the storefronts go live.
Rockstar laid out the plan on its Newswire, ending months of speculation about when fans could lock in Grand Theft Auto VI, according to Rockstar’s Newswire.
The standard, deluxe and collector tiers are expected to appear the moment storefronts flip the switch.
What the ‘GTA 6’ pre-orders confirm
Rockstar has nailed down the when but stayed quiet on the how much. The studio confirmed the 25 June pre-order window and the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms, while leaving editions, bonus content and final prices to be revealed once the buy buttons go live.
This follows the earlier confirmation Swisher Post covered when Rockstar first announced the pre-order rollout in May, which set the stage for a launch later in 2026.
The countdown from announcement to live pre-orders is exactly the kind of slow drip the studio uses to keep GTA 6 dominating feeds.
Grand Theft Auto VI is the most anticipated game launch of the decade, following a 2025 reveal that broke trailer view records within a day.
Rockstar has kept information tightly controlled, so every official drop, including this pre-order date, becomes a major event on the gaming calendar.
How much ‘GTA 6’ could cost
The pricing picture is built almost entirely on leaks for now.
A European retailer listing pointed to tiers at roughly €90, €110, €130 and €200, which analysts read as a standard edition near $70 to $80, a deluxe around $100 to $110 and a collector set pushing past $200.
None of those figures have been confirmed by Rockstar and should be treated as estimates rather than fact.
The standard edition price is the number most players are watching, since a jump to $80 would set a new bar for the console generation and ripple across the wider industry.
There is still no confirmed PC version at launch, with the game set for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S first, a familiar Rockstar pattern that usually sees PC arrive later.
That gap tends to frustrate PC players, who have learned to wait out the studio’s staggered rollouts.
What happens next with ‘GTA 6’ pre-orders
The real answers land when pre-orders open on 25 June and Rockstar publishes the official editions and prices.
Until then, the safest move for buyers is to have their platform accounts ready, because the first wave of GTA 6 collector editions is likely to sell through fast once the page goes live.
