Watch: What You’re Pre-Ordering
TL;DR
- Pre-orders are live now. They opened June 25, 2026 on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, the Rockstar Store, and major retailers.
- Two editions, both confirmed by Rockstar: Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99 (£64.99 / £84.99 · AU$129.95 / AU$159.95).
- Every pre-order includes the Vintage Vice City Pack — a ’55 Vapid Stanier, the Ocean Beach garage, and vintage outfits for Jason and Lucia — as long as you buy before November 20, 2026.
- There is no Collector’s or physical special edition at launch. Only the two digital editions above. A $229 “collector’s” figure came from a since-removed retailer listing and was never confirmed.
- Digital pre-orders also get one free month of GTA+, including access to GTA V and the classic Rockstar library.
- Release date is still November 19, 2026 on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version. Digital pre-load and physical copies arrive November 12, 2026.
Are GTA 6 pre-orders live?
Yes. GTA 6 pre-orders went live on June 25, 2026 and are open now. You can pre-order directly on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, through the Rockstar Store, and at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.
Rockstar confirmed the full lineup on its Newswire when listings opened, so everything below is verified — pricing, editions, and the pre-order bonus are official, not forecasts. GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S; there is no PC version announced. For the complete launch breakdown, see our release date page.
How much does GTA 6 cost?
Rockstar has confirmed two editions:
| Edition | Price (US) | UK | Australia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 | £64.99 | AU$129.95 |
| Ultimate | $99.99 | £84.99 | AU$159.95 |
The Standard Edition is the base game. The Ultimate Edition adds a package of premium in-game content — extra vehicles, weapons, apparel, and activity/business content — that unlocks across the story rather than all at once. Both editions launch and play the same base game on November 19.
Every earlier “$150” or “$200 standard edition” rumor turned out to be wrong, exactly as we said it would — those numbers were confusing a premium tier with the base game. The real base price is $79.99.
Is there a GTA 6 Collector’s Edition?
No — not at launch. Rockstar released only the two digital editions above. There is no physical Collector’s Edition, no SteelBook, and no boxed merchandise bundle, which is a break from how GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 shipped.
A $229 “collector’s edition” figure circulated before pre-orders opened, traced to a Portuguese retailer (Fnac) listing that was pulled and never confirmed by Rockstar. Treat it as an unverified leak. It’s worth noting that Rockstar revealed GTA V’s Collector’s and Special Editions months after pre-orders first opened (May 2013, versus a November 2012 pre-order start), so a later physical edition isn’t impossible. But nothing is confirmed today, and there is nothing physical to pre-order right now.
What’s the GTA 6 pre-order bonus?
Every pre-order — Standard or Ultimate — includes the Vintage Vice City Pack, provided you buy before November 20, 2026. It contains:
- A 1955 Vapid Stanier (classic vehicle)
- The Ocean Beach garage
- Vintage ’80s-style outfits for both protagonists, Jason and Lucia
On top of that, digital pre-orders receive one free month of GTA+, which includes instant access to GTA V and other classic Rockstar titles in the GTA+ library while you wait for launch.
Where can you pre-order GTA 6?
All of the links below are live now. GTA 6 is PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S only — there’s no PC or last-gen version — so make sure you’re buying for current-gen hardware.
- Rockstar’s official GTA VI page — the official home for the game and both editions: rockstargames.com/VI
- PlayStation Store — pre-order the Standard or Ultimate edition on PS5: Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation
- Xbox Store — pre-order on Xbox Series X|S: Grand Theft Auto VI on Xbox
- Amazon — physical pre-orders with Amazon’s pre-order price guarantee: Grand Theft Auto VI on Amazon. The Leonida Guide is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases.
- Best Buy — Grand Theft Auto VI at Best Buy
- GameStop — Grand Theft Auto VI at GameStop
- Walmart — Grand Theft Auto VI at Walmart
- Target — Grand Theft Auto VI at Target
If you want a console at the same time, some retailers are running hardware bundles — PS5 Pro or PS5 Slim with GTA 6, and Xbox Series X or S with GTA 6 — which can shave money off buying both separately. Availability varies by region and retailer.
Should you pre-order GTA 6?
For a digital copy, there’s no urgency: a digital download can’t sell out, and every pre-order gets the same Vintage Vice City Pack as long as you buy before November 20, 2026. You can wait, decide between Standard and Ultimate, and still get the bonus.
The genuine reasons to pre-order now are: you want the Ultimate Edition content, you’re eyeing a hardware bundle with limited stock, or you want Amazon’s pre-order price guarantee on a physical copy. If a physical Collector’s Edition is ever announced later, that’s the version most worth grabbing early — but again, none exists today.

While you wait: the free GTA V current-gen upgrade
If you’re itching to play something in the run-up, note that on June 18, 2026 Rockstar made the GTA V current-gen upgrade free (it was previously a paid upgrade of roughly $10–$40).
- PS4 owners — physical or digital — can download the PS5 version free from the PS5 GTA V store page. If you own a physical disc, you’ll need to insert it to verify ownership.
- Digital Xbox One owners can download the Xbox Series X|S version free. Note: physical Xbox One disc copies are excluded.
- Your Story Mode and GTA Online progress carries over, and the offer is permanent — no deadline.
Pair that free month of GTA+ from a digital pre-order with the free GTA V upgrade and you’ve got current-gen GTA to play right up until launch. For more on the world you’re heading into, our setting and Leonida guide is the place to start.
