Grand Theft Auto VI is releasing on November 19th, 2026, being one of the biggest games of the year. It’s a title everyone in the gaming industry has been waiting for, and today Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive revealed important pre-order dates and pricing.
Pre-Orders Go Live June 25th
Rockstar Games provided the following via press release, regarding the game’s launch date and pre-order information.
Players who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto VI will be able to begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026 to ensure they are able to play at launch on November 19, 2026. The physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI, containing a download code inside the box, will be available starting November 12, 2026 to support pre-loading.
Grand Theft Auto VI will be available at the PlayStation® Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store, and global retailers and storefronts.
Noteworthy is the lack of a proper physical release, with the retail version of GTA VI only being a code in the box. This isn’t new, but for a major landmark release, it’s a shame there’s no proper physical disk for fans to buy at launch. Hopefully, Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive will provide that option sometime after launch.
Pre-Order Bonus & GTA+ Month Trial
All Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026, will include the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of items that flash back to when the neon burned brightest, alongside a free month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders, which will be the best way to get the most out of the ever-evolving world of GTA Online and instantly redeemable so that players can jump into Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles as part of the GTA+ Games Library.
Price Points for Grand Theft Auto VI
This has been a major discussion for years now, and Take-Two Interactive has provided an answer. Grand Theft Auto VI will be $79.99 for the Standard Edition.
GTA VI follows in the footsteps of Nintendo’s Mario Kart World, being the next major AAA release charging that high price point. But for fans wanting the complete GTA VI experience, there’s another version they can pre-order instead.
Ultimate Edition
Rockstar also announced an Ultimate Edition, stating the following via Press Release.
The Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition amplifies this experience with an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, and will be available for $99.99.
