How to Pre-Order GTA 6: Date, Platforms & Where to Buy

Published June 22, 2026

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders open on June 25, 2026, ahead of the game’s launch on November 19, 2026. Here’s everything you need to know to be ready.

When do GTA 6 pre-orders go live?

Rockstar Games confirmed that pre-orders open Thursday, June 25, 2026 on digital storefronts and at select retailers. Expect listings to appear on:

• PlayStation Store (PS5)
• Xbox Store (Xbox Series X|S)
• Major retailers for any physical/special editions

What platforms is GTA 6 on?

At launch, GTA 6 is releasing only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no confirmed PC version yet — see our PC guide for what history tells us about a likely later release.

Heads up: digital storefronts can’t take pre-orders unless a game is within 12 months of release — another sign the November 19, 2026 date is locked in.

How to pre-order, step by step

1. On June 25, open the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store on your console or the web.
2. Search for “Grand Theft Auto VI.”
3. Choose your edition (standard or any special edition Rockstar offers).
4. Confirm the purchase — pre-loading typically unlocks a few days before launch.

Should you pre-order, or wait?

Digital pre-orders are easy to cancel and refund before release on both PS5 and Xbox, so pre-ordering mainly secures pre-load so you can play at midnight. If you want a special/collector’s edition, those can sell out — so decide early.
