June 22, 2026. It's almost here. Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders go live this week, alongside a fresh cover-art reveal. Here's exactly what's been confirmed, what's still rumor, and - for the PC crowd - the one piece of news you need to know before you get too excited.
When do GTA 6 pre-orders start?
June 25, 2026. Rockstar announced it directly on June 18 via its official X account:
"Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers. Check out the official cover art, also available as downloadable artwork at rockstargames.com/VI"
The official Rockstar GTA VI page now shows a "Pre-order on June 25" banner with wishlist buttons for PlayStation and Xbox.
Release date and platforms
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Take-Two's leadership reaffirmed the November window in June, so the date looks firm.
The catch for PC players: there is still no confirmed PC version at launch. Rockstar's official page lists only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and going by the studio's history with GTA 5 and RDR2, a PC port will likely arrive months - possibly a year or more - later. If you're PC-only, you're waiting.
How much will GTA 6 cost?
Officially? Unknown. Rockstar has not announced a price for any edition yet - that should land when pre-orders open on June 25. A European retailer (FNAC) briefly listed placeholder SKUs, but reliable leaker Billbil-kun stated those numbers were random placeholders that don't match Take-Two's product codes. In short: ignore the "leaked" prices floating around until Rockstar posts the real ones on the 25th.
What PC players should do right now
Since GTA 6 isn't coming to PC at launch, the smart move is to revisit Rockstar's back catalogue - which is astonishingly cheap on PC right now. GTA 5 is sitting at its all-time low of $3.00, and Red Dead Redemption 2 - arguably Rockstar's finest work - is just $9.64.
| Game | Lowest PC price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto V | $3.00 | All-time low |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | $9.64 | Rockstar's masterpiece |
Both will keep you busy well past November - and by the time a GTA 6 PC port is confirmed, you'll have cleared the backlog.
