Rockstar Games have announced that players will be able to pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI on 25 June 2026. This can be done on digital stores such as the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store as well through selected retailers. You can wishlist the game right now on the PlayStation and Microsoft store.

Alongside the pre-order announcement, Rockstar revealed the game's official cover art. The colourful design features main characters Jason and Lucia, along with several other characters players will meet during the story.

The artwork also highlights Leonida, the game's fictional state inspired by Florida. Flamingos, alligators, fast cars, motorbikes and helicopters all appear on the cover, capturing the sunny, chaotic atmosphere the series is known for.

When is GTA 6 coming out?

GTA 6 is set to launch on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox Series X/S. The game has been delayed twice, making the wait even longer for fans eager to jump into Rockstar's iconic series.

The game was delayed before, as the developers wanted more time to finish it and make sure it was ready for players.

How much will GTA 6 cost and what can I play it on?

GTA 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Rockstar has not announced a PC version yet, and it is not known if the game will come to Nintendo Switch 2.

One thing Rockstar still hasn't revealed is the game's price which fans and industry experts speculate as possibly crossing the $100 mark.

With pre-orders now just days away, many fans are also hoping Rockstar will release another gameplay trailer before launch.

What is GTA 6 about?

The story follows Lucia and Jason, two partners who get caught up in crime and adventure.

Lucia is the first female main character in a 3D GTA game.

The game takes place in Leonida, a made-up state based on Florida. Players will also return to Vice City, a city inspired by Miami.

How long has it taken to make GTA 6?

Fans have been waiting a long time for GTA 6. The last main game, GTA 5, came out in 2013.

Rockstar officially announced GTA 6 in 2022, but the game had likely been worked on for years before that.

Creating such a huge game takes a lot of time, money, and effort.

Why are people so excited?

The GTA series is one of the most popular video game franchises ever made.

Players enjoy exploring large open worlds, completing missions, and discovering new things.

Each GTA game brings new ideas and improvements, so many fans are excited to see what GTA 6 will offer.
