If Rockstar Follows Its Own Precedent, Don’t Expect GTA 6 Trailer 3 This Week
Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders went live on June 25, 2026, marking the beginning of the final push toward the game’s November 19 release. Rockstar Games unveiled comprehensive details about the game’s editions and pricing structure: the Standard Edition costs $80, while the Ultimate Edition costs $100 and includes additional single-player content and exclusive in-game items.
Notably, Rockstar is not offering early access incentives as preorder bonuses—a departure from industry standard practice. Players who preorder can claim a free month of GTA+, the subscription service for GTA Online, which continues to receive live service updates.
One significant point of contention for PC gamers: Grand Theft Auto 6 will not launch on PC alongside the console versions. Based on Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick’s statement that Rockstar traditionally prioritizes console releases first, PC players face an extended wait despite likely representing approximately 50% of potential sales.
Ahead of preorders, a social media post falsely claiming GTA 6 would require over 600 GB of storage space circulated widely, sparking concern—though the image is believed to be fake. Additionally, some fans speculated that a third marketing trailer would release alongside preorders, though Rockstar’s historical precedent with GTA 5 suggests otherwise, with the company typically announcing trailers would come “soon” rather than launching them simultaneously with preorder openings.
