GTA 6 Pre-Order Date Revealed — Rockstar Confirms June 25 Alongside Official Cover Art

Rockstar Games has officially announced the pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), triggering a surge in search activity across 23 countries simultaneously. According to Kiolix Pulse, which tracks Google Trends data across 27 countries, total search interest has surpassed 658,200 — making GTA-related keywords a genuine global talking point.

Key Announcement

Rockstar Games confirmed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will open on June 25, 2026, across digital storefronts and select physical retailers worldwide. The announcement was made via a video posted to Rockstar Games' official YouTube channel, accompanied by the game's first official cover art reveal.

The release date remains November 19, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Official Cover Art Revealed

The cover art features the game's two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia, and continues the series' signature comic-book style artwork. The design follows the franchise's familiar collage format — a helicopter cutting across the sky, a motorcycle mid-wheelie, a flashy sports car, and an alligator lounging in the middle of it all, entirely unbothered, set against the backdrop of Leonida.

Alongside the cover art, Rockstar also rolled out an updated logo, refreshed social media profiles, and a story synopsis — signaling the official start of the GTA 6 marketing campaign.

Game Details and Platforms

GTA 6 is set in a modern-day Vice City within the fictional U.S. state of Leonida, inspired by Florida and Miami. The story follows Jason and Lucia, a criminal couple pulled into a conspiracy after an easy score goes wrong, forcing them to rely on each other.

Confirmed platforms are as follows:

  • PlayStation 5: Confirmed for launch
  • Xbox Series X|S: Confirmed for launch (both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are confirmed for the November 19, 2026 release)
  • PC: Not available at launch; a port is widely expected but not before 2027 based on Rockstar's release history

Price and Editions

Rockstar and Take-Two have not yet disclosed official pricing. Industry analysts generally expect the standard edition to land between $69.99 and $79.99, with special editions potentially higher depending on additional content or online bonuses. Official pricing is expected to be revealed when pre-orders go live on June 25.

Trailer 3 Anticipation

Rockstar has not officially announced a third trailer, but anticipation is high.

Rockstar released Trailer 1 in 2023 and Trailer 2 in 2025.

Some analysts project GTA 6 could become the biggest entertainment launch in history, with day-one sales estimates reaching as high as 46 million copies.
