Rockstar Games has officially disclosed the pre-order availability and the final cover art for its upcoming title, Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Enthusiasts will be able to pre-order the game starting June 25, through various digital platforms such as the PlayStation Store, as well as select physical retailers.
Release Date Confirmed Amidst Previous Delays
The highly anticipated game is slated for release on November 19, for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

In line with the series' identity, the vibrant, pop-art style cover also showcases fast cars, helicopters, and motorbikes.
The question of how much the game will cost remains hotly debated amongst fans and analysts. A 2025 report from gaming industry advisory company Epyllion suggested it could be the first to be priced at $100.
