Rockstar Games launches GTA 6 pre‑orders and unveils new characters

Rockstar Games opened pre‑orders for the highly anticipated open‑world title Grand Theft Auto VI, with the launch coinciding with a surge of limited‑edition copies selling out within hours. The company released fresh screenshots showcasing several new characters, including a prison‑rehabilitation social worker, a bank robber, and two rap‑artist figures, expanding the roster expected to appear in the game.

Despite the pre‑order push, Rockstar has not provided the anticipated third gameplay trailer, leaving fans without new video footage of the title. CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed that the marketing campaign will intensify in the summer, but for now the only new material consists of images and character details. The pre‑order announcement and the character leaks have generated significant buzz across the gaming community worldwide.
