Rockstar announced that GTA VI pre-orders would open globally at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. The announcement names a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition, along with the Vintage Vice City Pack for eligible pre-orders and purchases made before the stated cutoff.

Rockstar also says pre-loading begins November 12, ahead of the November 19 launch. Exact store availability, prices, currencies, and purchase terms can vary by country, platform, and seller. This companion therefore does not present one regional price as universal.

The official purchase information applies to the announced console versions: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It does not amount to a PC announcement. Buyers should inspect the current first-party store listing in their own region before deciding which edition to purchase.

Our editions comparison keeps the summary deliberately short and links to Rockstar’s current store page. There are no affiliate links and no manufactured scarcity language here.
