Grand Theft Auto VI preorders are scheduled to open on June 25 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar lists the preorder date on the official GTA 6 page, alongside wishlist links for both console storefronts.
Rockstar confirmed the June 25 preorder date on the official Grand Theft Auto 6 website and social media channels on June 18. The game is scheduled for release in fall 2026, though Rockstar has not specified an exact date. Only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions have been announced. Rockstar has not confirmed a PC version, and no release timing has been given for that platform. A physical disc edition will also be available at launch for those who prefer a tangible copy.
Preorders will open across the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Amazon, and GameStop. Rockstar recommends preordering through your primary platform store to ensure smooth preloading before launch day. Standard, Deluxe, and Collector editions are widely expected based on past Rockstar launches, though the company has not confirmed exact pricing or edition-specific content as of the preorder announcement.
What Rockstar Has Confirmed
The confirmed platforms remain PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has also stated that a PC version is planned. Pricing, edition details, and preorder bonuses have not been announced. Players should treat any pricing claims or collector edition listings as unconfirmed until Rockstar or the platform holders publish them.
The Setting and Leads
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, with Vice City positioned as the central location. Rockstar describes Jason and Lucia as the main characters, caught in a criminal conspiracy after an easy score goes wrong. The official page frames the story around their reliance on each other as they try to survive the fallout.
Confirmed and Unconfirmed
Confirmed: preorder timing, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms, the Leonida setting, Vice City, and the Jason and Lucia story setup. A PC version is planned but no release window has been announced. Unconfirmed: price, editions, preorder bonuses, preload timing, specific PC features, or system requirements.
Preorder Timing Next
The next useful update will be the preorder listings themselves when they go live on June 25. Those pages should clarify price, editions, preload timing, and whether any physical retail options differ from digital storefronts. Until then, the safest move is to wishlist the game on the relevant platform and wait for the June 25 listings.
Preorder Details
Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders opened on June 25 across all platforms. Multiple editions are available including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate editions with varying bonus content. Players who preorder receive in-game currency and early access to certain vehicles and weapons.
Rockstar recommends preordering directly through your platform store for the smoothest experience. Preloading will be available before launch day, allowing players to download the game in advance. Those who preorder through participating retailers may receive bonus in-game content, though Rockstar has not detailed exact preorder incentives at this time.
GTA 6 is expected to be one of the biggest entertainment launches of 2026 across any medium, with preorder demand reflecting years of anticipation since Grand Theft Auto 5 originally released in 2013.
