How to Pre-Order GTA 6: Every Edition, Price & Where to Buy

It's official: GTA 6 pre-orders start June 25, 2026. After years of waiting, Rockstar Games has confirmed the date collectors and players have been counting down to — and the most anticipated launch in gaming history is finally on the calendar. This guide covers everything you need to lock in your copy: every edition, the expected pricing, where to buy, and how to land the limited Collector's Edition before it sells out.

Below: the confirmed dates and platforms, the leaked edition breakdown, what GTA 6 is likely to cost, the full list of retailers to pre-order from, and a step-by-step plan so you're ready the second the page goes live.

When Do GTA 6 Pre-Orders Start?

Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 pre-orders begin June 25, 2026, "on digital storefronts and at other select retailers" — meaning both digital and physical copies. The announcement landed via the official Rockstar Newswire on June 18, 2026, alongside the reveal of the game's official cover art — a Vice City mosaic featuring protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.

One important clarification: that June 18 reveal was the cover art, not a full new gameplay trailer. A third trailer is widely expected to arrive around June 25 when pre-orders go live, but Rockstar has not confirmed any "Trailer 3" or a date for it — so treat anything you read about Trailer 3 timing as speculation.

What you can do right now: wishlist Grand Theft Auto VI on the PlayStation Store and the Xbox/Microsoft Store. Wishlisting gets you a notification the moment the listing flips to purchasable on June 25 — the simplest way to be early.

GTA 6 Release Date & Platforms

The GTA 6 release date is November 19, 2026 — confirmed by Rockstar and repeatedly reaffirmed by Take-Two Interactive. Don't confuse the two dates: pre-orders open June 25; the game itself ships almost five months later, on November 19.

At launch, GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. There's no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version, and — importantly for a lot of players — no PC version at launch.

Rockstar hasn't announced a PC release or a date for one. But the studio's history is a strong guide: GTA V arrived on PC about 19 months after its console launch, and Red Dead Redemption 2 followed roughly 13 months later. On that precedent, a GTA 6 PC version is widely expected in late 2027 or 2028. If you're a PC player, the smart move is to set a release alert now (see the TYPA section below) so you're notified the day it's announced.

For context on the wait: GTA 6 was originally targeted for 2025, then moved to May 26, 2026, and finally to November 19, 2026. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has since repeatedly reaffirmed the November date and signaled the game won't slip again.

GTA 6 Editions Explained

Here's the honest disclaimer up front: Rockstar has not officially confirmed the GTA 6 editions lineup. The breakdown below comes from a credible leak (insider "DetectiveSeeds") and from precedent set by GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Treat the tier names and contents as expected, not final — official details should arrive on or around June 25.

According to the leak, GTA 6 is expected to ship in roughly six purchase options: three game tiers, a rarer collector's edition, and two PS5 console bundles. Here's what each is likely to be.

Standard Edition

The base game, available both digitally and as a physical disc. This is what most players will buy, and the one tied to the headline GTA 6 price everyone's waiting on.

Deluxe Edition (expected)

A mid-tier expected to bundle the base game with extra in-game content — currency, cosmetics, or early unlocks, based on how Rockstar has structured past releases. The exact name and contents are a media inference from the leak, not confirmed.

Ultimate Edition (expected)

The expected top digital tier, packing the most extras — the largest in-game bonuses and any pre-order perks Rockstar attaches to the premium version. Again, the name is unofficial.

Collector's Edition (expected)

The one collectors actually care about: a limited physical GTA 6 Collector's Edition. Based on precedent, expect physical collectibles — think a statue, a steelbook, a map and other memorabilia — likely bundled with a copy or voucher for the game. Worth noting: GTA V and GTA IV both shipped collector's editions, but Red Dead Redemption 2 skipped a true one and sold its Collector's Box separately (with no game inside). A proper GTA 6 Collector's Edition would be a big deal — and, as the scarcity section below explains, the hardest thing on this list to actually get.

PS5 Console Bundles (expected)

The leak points to two PlayStation 5 bundles — a standard PS5 and a PS5 Pro — each packing a digital copy of the game. No pricing leaked for either.

Here's how the expected lineup stacks up. Every figure is unofficial until Rockstar's reveal:

How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?

Rockstar hasn't announced the GTA 6 price — so anyone quoting a hard number is guessing. That said, the guesses are grounded. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick referenced a game "someone paid 70 or 80 bucks for" in a March 2026 interview — though he was arguing against in-game ads, not announcing a price. On that basis, the standard edition is widely expected to land around $70–$80. Some analysts think Rockstar could push higher as the industry tests $80–$100 AAA pricing, and a premium tier near $99 has been floated (partly from a store listing many believe was a placeholder) — but none of that is confirmed.

For perspective: GTA V launched at $59.99 back in September 2013. A $70 standard edition would be about a 17% increase; $80 would be roughly 33% more. That's the framing for anyone wondering why GTA 6 may cost more than the last game — it's in line with where the whole industry has drifted.

On the high end, precedent helps set expectations for a GTA 6 Collector's Edition. GTA V's Collector's Edition was $149.99 in 2013, and GTA IV's metal-box Special Edition was $89.99 back in 2008. Based on that, predictions put a GTA 6 Collector's Edition somewhere around $150–$200 — assuming one exists and Rockstar prices it in line with history. The PS5 console bundles, meanwhile, would likely fall in a $550–$800 range based on current PS5 hardware prices — an estimate, not a leaked figure.

Bottom line: budget roughly $70–$80 for the standard game and $150+ if you want the Collector's Edition, and wait for official pricing around June 25.

Where to Pre-Order GTA 6

There are two routes, and which you pick depends on what you want. For an instant, guaranteed copy the second pre-orders open, go digital. For a boxed copy or the Collector's Edition, go physical — that's the only place those exist.

Digital storefronts (safest for an instant launch-day pre-order): the PlayStation Store, the Xbox/Microsoft Store, and the Rockstar Store. Wishlist now so you're alerted the moment they go live.

Physical retailers (the route for boxed copies and the Collector's Edition) — this is also where to buy GTA 6 if you want something on your shelf:

• Walmart — wide stock and frequent restocks; a strong shot at boxed copies.
• Best Buy — reliable for physical games and console bundles.
• GameStop — the most collector-focused big retailer, and historically a primary home for Rockstar collector's editions.
• Amazon — convenient for physical copies and bundles.
• Target — another solid option for boxed editions.

Our advice: if you only want to play, pre-order digital and forget about it. If you want a physical edition — and especially the Collector's Edition — create accounts at the retailers above now, because that's where the real competition will be.

Why GTA 6 Will Be the Biggest Launch in Gaming History

This isn't hype for its own sake — the scale is the reason limited editions will be so hard to get. The demand signals are staggering.

GTA 6's first trailer pulled 90.4 million views in its first 24 hours in December 2023 and set three Guinness World Records, including most-viewed video-game trailer on YouTube in 24 hours. The second trailer, in May 2025, drew more than 475 million views across all platforms in a single day — which Rockstar calls the biggest video launch of all time. Even Rockstar's original announcement post became one of the most-liked gaming posts ever, surpassing 1.9 million likes.

The franchise scale backs it up. GTA V has sold more than 225 million units (per Take-Two's early-2026 earnings), moved 11.21 million copies in its first 24 hours in 2013 — a Guinness record — and is still going: it was the second most-watched game across all live-streaming platforms in 2025, with around 1.9 billion hours watched, behind only League of Legends.

Why this matters for you as a buyer: demand at this scale means premium and limited editions move fast. Which is exactly why the Collector's Edition deserves its own plan.

How to Get the GTA 6 Collector's Edition Before It Sells Out

This is the part most buying guides skip. A limited GTA 6 Collector's Edition will be one of the most fought-over physical products of the year — and there's a real cautionary tale.

Red Dead Redemption 2's Collector's Box originally retailed for $99.99 (with no game included). Today, sealed boxes are commonly listed for roughly $600 and up on eBay, with pristine examples asking $900 to $1,300 or more. (Those are asking prices, not guaranteed sold values — and Rockstar did a later re-release at the original $99.99, so it's not pure scarcity.) Still, the lesson holds: sealed Rockstar collector sets have historically commanded a real premium on the resale market.

Now layer on GTA 6's demand. Analysts and insiders project it could become the fastest-selling entertainment product ever — estimates range from around 20 million copies in 24 hours up to 45 million-plus at launch. For comparison, GTA V holds the current Guinness World Record as the fastest entertainment product to gross $1 billion, hitting it in just three days in 2013. A limited Collector's Edition against demand like that will be a scalper magnet.

The balanced truth: Rockstar may simply produce enough to meet demand, so an instant day-one sellout isn't guaranteed — and if something does sell out, restocks often appear before launch. Either way, the play is the same: be ready, and get notified. Here's the checklist:

• Create accounts at the retailers above now — Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, Target.
• Save your payment method and shipping address to each so checkout is one tap.
• Wishlist GTA VI on PlayStation and Xbox for the digital editions.
• Set a GTA 6 restock alert so you're pinged the second the Collector's Edition goes live — or comes back in stock at any retailer.

GTA 6 Pre-Order Bonuses

No GTA 6 pre-order bonus has been officially announced yet — expect details around June 25. Based on past Rockstar launches, pre-order incentives usually take the form of in-game currency or cosmetic extras, often tied to the higher editions. Until Rockstar says so, treat any specific bonus you see as speculation.

Your GTA 6 Pre-Order Day Game Plan

Five steps to be ready when pre-orders open on June 25:

1. Wishlist now. Add Grand Theft Auto VI to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store.
2. Set up your retailers. Create or log into accounts at Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon and Target; save payment and address.
3. Decide your edition. Use the comparison table above to pick your tier before the 25th — premium editions move fastest.
4. Set a TYPA alert so you're notified the instant pre-orders open and whenever stock returns.
5. Be online June 25. When pricing and editions drop, the limited tiers may sell through quickly — have your decision made.

Set a GTA 6 Restock Alert with TYPA

Once pre-orders open — and after launch — the hard part is catching restocks without refreshing retailer pages all day. That's what TYPA does: a free restock tracker that monitors every major retailer and pings you the moment GTA 6 is back in stock — and you can browse restock trackers for every brand too.

• GTA 6 restock alert for PS5
• Get notified on Xbox
• Alert me when GTA 6 hits PC — there's no PC version at launch, so this notifies you when one is announced.
• Or watch everything on TYPA's restock tracker.

Rockstar lets you wishlist on PlayStation and Xbox — but the Collector's Edition will be fought over at retail. TYPA alerts you across Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, Target and more, so you never miss the drop.
