At long last, preorders for GTA 6 will begin on June 25, Rockstar Games has announced. Additionally, the game’s official covert art has been revealed.
Crucially, Rockstar did not announce any pricing details for GTA 6, nor did the company list off the various editions of the game that will no doubt be available.
Rockstar also did not say exactly when preorders will begin on June 25. However, fans can wishlist GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to receive alerts. Additionally, Rockstar clarified that June 25 is when preorders for GTA 6 begin on digital stores and “select” retailers only.
Many are wondering if Rockstar and parent company Take-Two plan to charge something above $70 for the game’s standard edition. A Bank of America stock analyst believes GTA 6 should be priced at $80 to help encourage other developers to raise prices as well.
Strauss Zelnick, the head of Take-Two, recently said it doesn’t make sense that prices have not gone up very much for new game releases in the past decade.
Whatever it costs, GTA 6 is going to be 2026’s biggest hit, with projections saying it could sell 40 million copies in its first year.
In other GTA news, everyone who owns GTA 5 digitally on PS4 or Xbox One can now get a free upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S edition. The freebie offer comes just ahead of the release of GTA Online’s next big update in July.
