Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that the pre-orders for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) will begin on June 25, which marks a major milestone in the countdown to one of the most eagerly awaited video game releases in history. The announcement was made through the Rockstar’s Newswire platform and accompanied by the unveiling of the game’s official cover art.
The pre-order announcement has further strengthened the expectation that GTA VI remains on track for its scheduled release on November 19, 2026. Players will be able to secure their copies through digital storefronts, including the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, as well as some select retail outlets. Rockstar has also encouraged fans to add the game to their wishlists to receive notifications when pre-orders go live.
GTA VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida, which is inspired by Florida, and follows protagonists Jason and Lucia in what promises to be Rockstar’s most ambitious open-world adventure to date. The game’s trailers have generated massive interest worldwide, with fans eagerly awaiting additional details regarding gameplay features, pricing, and special editions.
Industry analysts expect GTA VI to become the biggest entertainment launch ever, potentially generating billions of dollars in revenue in the initial days of release only. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has already sold hundreds of millions of copies globally, and the new instalment is expected to set fresh sales records. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, has repeatedly highlighted the importance of the future growth of the game.
While Rockstar has yet to reveal pricing details or pre-order bonuses, the June 25 date signals the beginning of a major marketing push ahead of launch. With excitement at an all-time high, GTA VI appears poised to become one of the defining entertainment events of 2026.
