📅 GTA 6 pre-orders begin on June 25, 2026
🚨 It’ll be available for pre-order digitally and from select retailers
👀 Rockstar also showed off the game’s official cover art

Rockstar Games has announced the GTA 6 pre-order date: June 25, 2026. You’ll be able to pre-order the game on digital storefronts and at other select retailers.
In a short video posted to Rockstar Games’ YouTube channel, we also got a glimpse of the official GTA 6 cover art, which features the game’s two playable protagonists: Jason and Lucia. It also continues the game’s iconic comic-book style artwork.
Sadly, we still don’t know how much GTA 6 will cost just yet. And we didn’t get any information on an inevitable GTA 6 Collector’s Edition that we know so many will be looking to buy.
Rumors have speculated that GTA 6 could cost as much as $100, though it’s unclear whether Rockstar will set a new precedent for video game pricing or stick to the usual $70 price tag we’ve become accustomed to.
We’ll share the pre-order links to all the retailers on June 25, so don’t forget to subscribe to The Shortcut so you can secure your copy of GTA 6 ahead of its November 19, 2026, release.
