Grand Theft Auto 6 Pre-Orders Begin June 25th, Cover Art Revealed

Rockstar Games has announced that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will begin on June 25, 2026, marking a major milestone for the long-awaited title. The announcement came alongside the official reveal of the game’s cover art, which features the familiar GTA design with artwork including protagonists Lucia and Jason, a yellow Lamborghini-like vehicle, a speedboat, crocodile, helicopter, and other signature Vice City elements like a flamingo and ferris wheel.

The pre-order announcement is available on digital storefronts and at select retailers for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. No PC or Nintendo Switch 2 versions have been announced. Pre-orders can be placed starting next week, with fans able to wishlist the game on PS5 and Xbox platforms.

Alongside the cover art reveal, Rockstar updated its official GTA 6 website with new visual content showcasing Vice City, the game’s Miami-inspired setting. Dynamic imagery displays the bustling metropolis during sunset, featuring helicopters flying overhead, boats in the harbor, a lit ferris wheel, construction sites, high-rise apartments, and a tennis court. These visuals offer players their most detailed look at the game world to date.

Notably, Rockstar did not announce pricing for GTA 6, meaning the long-speculated price point will likely be revealed when pre-orders go live on June 25. The announcement essentially confirms the November 19, 2026 release date, as pre-order campaigns typically indicate a publisher’s confidence in the scheduled launch window.

The news generated significant industry excitement, with Take-Two Interactive stock jumping on the announcement. For fans, the pre-order date provides tangible confirmation that the game—delayed multiple times in recent years—is on track for its fall release.
