GTA 6 Pre-Order Guide: Date, Editions, Price and Where to Buy
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 pre-orders open June 25, 2026, with the game launching November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. Below is exactly what is official, what is still only expected, where to pre-order safely, and how to spot the scams already circulating.
Pre-orders open June 25, 2026
Last updated: June 20, 2026
Time until launch (November 19, 2026)
What is officially confirmed
Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two have confirmed a short, specific list of facts. Everything in this section is official. Anything beyond it (price, edition names, bonuses, bundles) is not yet confirmed and is labeled clearly later on this page.
| Detail | Confirmed |
|---|---|
| Pre-orders open | June 25, 2026 (announced June 18, 2026) |
| Launch date | November 19, 2026 |
| Platforms | PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only (no PC version confirmed) |
| Where to pre-order | Digital storefronts and select retailers (not individually named) |
| Physical release | Confirmed (Take-Two cited a "big physical component") |
| Cover art | Revealed and downloadable at rockstargames.com/VI |
That is the full confirmed picture as of June 20, 2026. Rockstar has stated pre-orders will be on "digital storefronts and select retailers," but has not yet named which specific retailers, nor published a price, edition tiers, pre-order bonuses, or any console bundle. Those details are expected to land when pre-orders open on June 25.
Where to pre-order
Rockstar confirmed pre-orders will be on "digital storefronts and select retailers" but did not name them. The list below is the set of stores that carried GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, so it is where GTA 6 pre-orders are most likely to appear. Treat this as expected, not confirmed, until each store posts its own listing on June 25.
| Storefront (expected) | Type |
|---|---|
| PlayStation Store | Digital (PS5) |
| Xbox / Microsoft Store | Digital (Xbox Series X and S) |
| Rockstar Store | Digital and physical |
| Amazon | Physical / disc |
| Best Buy | Physical / disc |
| GameStop | Physical / disc |
| Walmart | Physical / disc |
| Target | Physical / disc |
For a physical disc copy, Amazon is one of the most reliable places to keep an eye on once listings go live. The button below opens an Amazon search for GTA 6 so you can check current listings and set yourself a reminder for June 25.

Scam warning
Only pre-order through official storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox or Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Store) or major retailers you already trust. Ignore any listing priced at $200 or more, any seller promising "early access," "beta keys," or a guaranteed copy, and any site asking for payment by gift card or bank transfer. Scam listings spike around big launches, and GTA 6 is the biggest in years. Until Rockstar publishes an official price on June 25, treat any specific figure as unconfirmed.
GTA 6 price: what to expect
Rockstar has not announced a price for any edition of GTA 6. Anyone quoting a firm number today is repeating an estimate or a rumor, not an official figure.
The most common expectation, around $69.99 to $79.99 USD for the standard edition, traces back to a single source: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick made an offhand "maybe $70, maybe $80" remark while arguing against putting ads in the game. That was not a price announcement. Combined with current AAA pricing norms, where $69.99 to $79.99 is the typical band for a flagship release, that is where the ~$70 to $80 expectation comes from. It is a reasonable guess, but it is still a guess.
The viral $100, $150, and $200 figures floating around social media are unverified rumor. Some $200-plus "pre-order" listings are outright scams. Do not budget around them, and do not buy from any listing pricing GTA 6 that high.
The honest answer: wait for June 25. That is when pre-orders open and when Rockstar is expected to publish the actual price and edition list. This page will be updated with the official numbers as soon as they are live.
Editions: what to expect
Rockstar has not announced any edition tiers for GTA 6. The table below is based on past Rockstar releases, not confirmed for GTA 6. It shows how the last two major Rockstar launches were structured, which is the best available guide to what June 25 might bring.
| Game | Edition tiers (historical) |
|---|---|
| GTA V (2013) | Standard / Special / Collector's |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) | Standard / Special / Ultimate / Collector's Box |
If GTA 6 follows that pattern, expect a Standard edition plus one or two upgraded digital tiers (often named Special or Deluxe) and a physical Collector's edition. None of these names are confirmed for GTA 6.
The widely shared "GTA 6 will have six editions" claim is an unverified leak (attributed to DetectiveSeeds), not an official announcement. Take it as rumor until Rockstar confirms the actual line-up on June 25.
Collector's Edition
There is no confirmed GTA 6 Collector's edition yet, and no confirmed contents. What follows is precedent from previous Rockstar Collector's editions, included so you know roughly what a physical premium edition tends to include. None of it is confirmed for GTA 6.
| Past edition | Physical contents (historical) |
|---|---|
| GTA V Collector's Edition (2013) | Branded cap, a security money bag, a custom Steelbook-style box, plus in-game extras |
| RDR2 Collector's Box (2018) | Metal tithing lockbox, collectible coin, playing cards, pin, bandana, puzzle, treasure map and more (game sold separately) |
A few things worth noting from precedent: Rockstar's Collector's boxes have historically been physical-merchandise bundles, and the RDR2 Collector's Box did not include the game itself (you still bought a copy separately). Collector's editions also tend to be limited in stock and sell out quickly, so if one is announced on June 25 and you want it, expect to act fast. Again, none of this is confirmed for GTA 6.
PS5 console bundles
No PS5 console bundle that includes GTA 6 has been confirmed by Sony or Rockstar. Any specific PS5-plus-GTA-6 bundle price you see circulating is speculation. Console bundles for huge launches do sometimes appear, but nothing is official here yet.
Practical advice instead of guessing: if you do not own a PS5, buy the console and pre-order the game separately when pre-orders open on June 25. If you already own a PS5, the single most useful thing to sort out before launch is internal storage. A flagship open-world game can be large, and the PS5's built-in drive fills up fast. A compatible M.2 Gen4 NVMe SSD with a heatsink slots into the PS5's expansion bay and gives you room for GTA 6 alongside your existing library. Two drives that meet Sony's requirements:

Frequently asked questions
When do GTA 6 pre-orders open?
Rockstar announced on June 18, 2026 that GTA 6 pre-orders open June 25, 2026. They will be available on digital storefronts and select retailers. Rockstar did not name the specific retailers in that announcement, so confirm directly on the PlayStation Store or Rockstar's own store when pre-orders go live.
How much will GTA 6 cost?
Rockstar has not announced a price. The widely repeated $69.99 to $79.99 USD figure for the standard edition is an expectation, not an official number. It comes from a single offhand 'maybe $70, maybe $80' remark by Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick (made while arguing against in-game ads, not as a price reveal) plus current AAA pricing norms. Viral $100, $150, and $200 figures are unverified rumor, and many $200-plus listings are scams. The real price is expected to be confirmed when pre-orders open on June 25.
What editions of GTA 6 are there?
Rockstar has not announced any edition tiers. Based on past Rockstar releases (GTA V in 2013 shipped Standard, Special, and Collector's editions, and Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018 shipped Standard, Special, Ultimate, and a Collector's Box), a Standard plus one or two upgraded tiers and a physical Collector's edition would be in line with precedent. The viral 'six editions' claim is an unverified leak, not confirmed. Official edition details are expected at pre-order on June 25.
Is there a PS5 + GTA 6 bundle?
No PS5 console bundle with GTA 6 has been confirmed by Sony or Rockstar. Any specific bundle price circulating online is speculation. If you do not own a PS5 yet, you can simply buy a PS5 and pre-order the game separately. If you already own one, the main hardware worth checking before launch is internal storage, since a large game may need a compatible M.2 SSD.
How do I avoid GTA 6 pre-order scams?
Only pre-order from official storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox or Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Store) or well-known retailers you already trust. Ignore listings priced at $200 or more, marketplace sellers promising 'early access' or 'beta keys,' and any site asking for payment by gift card or bank transfer. Until Rockstar publishes an official price and edition list on June 25, treat any specific figure as unconfirmed.
What platforms is GTA 6 coming to?
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S only. No PC version has been confirmed. A physical release is confirmed: Take-Two has stated there will be a 'big physical component.'
