Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are now available for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Standard Edition is priced at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Preorders began on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time.
Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto 6 will not contain a disc but rather a digital download code. These physical editions will be available on November 12, 2026, a full week before the game's official launch on November 19, 2026. Pre-loading for the game will also commence on November 12.
For those considering a physical purchase to manage costs, retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target will not charge customers until the order ships. This allows for spreading the expense over the months leading up to the release. Amazon has reported that its initial allocation of preorders has already sold out, though Walmart and Target still have Standard Editions available.
The Ultimate Edition, available digitally and physically, includes a wealth of exclusive in-game content. This encompasses unique vehicles and garages like the Vapid Dominator Buggy and the '95 Grotti Cheetah, access to exclusive customization shops, classic car restoration projects, and exclusive weapon variants such as the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolver. It also features additional missions, cosmetic items, hairstyles, tattoos, and a streetwear store.
All digital preorders made before November 20, 2026, and physical preorders while supplies last, will include the Vintage Vice City Pack. This bonus content features the '55 Vapid Stanier and Shore Court Garage, retro-inspired outfits and hairstyles for protagonists Lucia and Jason, and an exclusive weapon pattern inspired by Tommy Vercetti.
Digital preorders also come with a one-month free subscription to GTA+. This subscription includes a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit, bonus GTA$ on Shark Cards, access to free and discounted vehicles, and a rotating library of classic Rockstar Games titles. Players should note that GTA+ auto-renews and may need to be manually canceled.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set in the modern-day state of Leonida, a fictionalized version of Florida, and its capital city, Vice City. The game's narrative follows outlaws Lucia and Jason Duval as they become embroiled in a state-spanning criminal conspiracy. The game's scope extends beyond urban areas to include locations like the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers marshland, and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Rockstar released the first trailer on December 4, 2023, showcasing the Leonida setting and dual protagonists, with an initial release window of 2025. The second trailer, released on May 6, 2025, focused on Jason Duval and Lucia's relationship and their descent into crime, with the game's release date subsequently shifted to November 19, 2026.
