Grand Theft Auto VI pre‑orders launch worldwide with multiple editions and variable pricing

Pre‑orders for Grand Theft Auto VI opened at midnight on 25 June 2026, with the game slated for release on 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar announced three launch editions – a Standard version priced around $80 (≈ €80) and an Ultimate/Collector’s edition ranging from $100 to €289, each including a month of GTA+ and the Vintage Vice City bonus pack. Physical copies will contain only a download code; a disc‑based edition is rumored for a December release.

Pricing varies by region: South Korea $58, the United States $80, the United Kingdom $92, and Brazil $86‑$106. Pre‑order demand has sparked server overloads and rumours of tens of millions of reservations. Retailers anticipate a surge in console sales, with reports of possible PS5 and Xbox shortages. Sony even altered the PS5 welcome screen to feature a GTA VI animation, marking an unprecedented marketing push. The game will support pre‑load from 12 November, and its narrative will be divided into chapters, letting players switch between protagonists Jason and Lucia.

Technical previews show advanced ray‑tracing and high‑resolution graphics, though experts caution these images may be pre‑rendered rather than real‑time. The launch is expected to generate billions in revenue and influence hardware demand across multiple markets.
