Rockstar Games confirmed that pre‑orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will open on 25 June, with the official cover artwork released the same day. The mosaic‑style art returns to the series’ classic nine‑panel layout and showcases protagonists Lucia and Jason, the first playable female lead in the franchise. The game is scheduled for worldwide release on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Leaks from European retailer FNAC suggest multiple editions will be priced between €90 and €200, with a standard edition near €90, a premium version around €120, and a collector’s edition close to €200. Analysts project strong demand, with Take‑Two Interactive’s shares rising 3.5 % after the announcement and sales forecasts of 40 million copies in the first year. In Brazil, the game’s pricing is anticipated to range from 525 to 1,200 Brazilian reais. Additionally, Rockstar announced a free upgrade for existing owners of Grand Theft Auto V to the next‑gen console and PC versions.

These developments highlight the massive commercial expectations for GTA 6, marking it as one of the most anticipated video‑game releases of the year.
