GTA 6 pre-order date confirmed by Rockstar

After what seemed like an endless wait, GTA 6 finally has an official pre-order date. Rockstar Games has confirmed it kicks off on June 25 on digital storefronts and certain online retailers. And yes, it will only arrive on current-gen consoles, namely the PlayStation 5/PS5 Pro and Xbox Series S|X. 

You can wishlist GTA 6 on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Whether it will be able to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s extra graphics capabilities remains unknown, but we won’t have to wait long to find out. On the flip side, it’ll be interesting to see what sorcery Rockstar employs to make GTA 6 on the notoriously underpowered Xbox Series S.

The biggest mystery, however, is its price. GTA 6 is widely speculated to be one of the first AAA games to retail at $100, and unfortunately, that mystery will only be solved next week. 

A June 25 pre-order date effectively sets its November 19 release date in stone, quelling any rumours of a delay to 2027. While Rockstar didn’t reveal much in the way of new gameplay or even show off a new trailer, its official cover art is now downloadable, along with some additional media assets. 

That said, with the pre-order date confirmed, GTA 6 will likely get a fresh round of marketing, which will very likely include more gameplay footage and additional insights into the game's protagonists. Unfortunately, there’s no word about its PC release date, and at this point, anything before Q3, 2027, seems like a pipe dream.
