How to Pre-Order GTA 6: Complete Guide for Every Platform

You can place a GTA 6 pre order now. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive opened orders on June 25, 2026 at midnight local time. Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Standard costs $79.99 USD. Ultimate costs $99.99 USD and is digital only. Buy before November 20, 2026 and you receive the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital copies also include one month of GTA+.

Where to place a GTA 6 pre order

Use a store Rockstar or Take-Two actually points to. That means PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store / Xbox, the Rockstar buy page, or a retailer selling the physical Standard edition. The official VI hub is the cleanest place to start if a storefront link moves.

PC is not on the launch list. A Steam or Rockstar Launcher listing for a PC SKU has not been published. Last-gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are also absent. If a shop offers a PS4, Xbox One, or “PC key” for November 19, treat that as unofficial.

Keep the receipt and the account email. A pre-order reserves a license. It does not let you load into Vice City in June. For the full price breakdown and a Standard vs Ultimate comparison, those pages stay separate so this hub does not bury the store steps.

Prices, editions, and the Vintage Vice City Pack

Two official editions exist. There is no Deluxe, Premium, or Collector SKU from Rockstar.

Ultimate extras are digital items: vehicles, weapons, apparel, and shops. Rockstar has not sold a physical Ultimate box. If you want a shelf copy, Standard is the only official physical product. See editions compared and pre-order bonuses for the same facts without retailer fluff.

The Vintage Vice City Pack is tied to the buy-before-November-20 window. Official store copy has pointed to vintage cosmetics, a 55 Vapid Stanier, an Ocean Beach garage, retro outfits, and a Tommy Vercetti shirt-inspired weapon pattern. We are not adding extra cars or cash to that list.

Preload on November 12 and launch on November 19

Digital preload begins November 12, 2026 at local midnight. Physical Standard is also available that day so the code can start downloading before launch. Preload is not early access. The campaign still waits until November 19.

Rockstar has not published a worldwide unlock table. Our homepage countdown treats midnight Eastern as a labeled assumption, not a confirmed global hour. If you need a day count rather than a clock, use how many days until GTA 6.

File size is unannounced. Leave extra storage on the console and do not treat a retailer “GB” claim as Rockstar’s number.

Physical code-in-box versus a digital license

The physical Standard edition is a code in a box. There is no disc. You still need a download, a PlayStation Network or Xbox account, and enough storage. The point of the box is a retail product you can gift or keep, plus the November 12 availability that supports preload.

Digital Standard and digital Ultimate sit on your account immediately after purchase. Ultimate cannot be boxed. If you care about resale or a physical gift, Standard is the path. If you want the extra vehicles, weapons, apparel, and shops, Ultimate is the path, and it is digital only.

Retailer pages sometimes invent a “collector” bundle or a steelbook as if it were a Rockstar edition. Those are shop extras, not official SKUs. For the boxed product itself, read physical vs digital.

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are the confirmed leads. Their story is not playable from a pre-order. The order only holds your edition, your bonus window, and a download that starts on November 12.
