Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI opened June 25, 2026. Take-Two listed the base price at $79.99 USD for the announced consoles: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Store listings and regional taxes sit with the platforms, not with WhenGTA6.
This is the dated news record. The standing price answer is the price guide. The first-party hub remains rockstargames.com/VI.
What opened, and on which platforms
The pre-order window applies to the confirmed launch platforms. A PC SKU has not been announced, so there is no official PC pre-order date to log.
WhenGTA6 records the USD base figure Take-Two published. Other currencies, local tax, and retailer bundles change by storefront. Those are not a second official USD price.

What this news does not settle
A listed price is not a file-size number, a 60 FPS promise, or a GTA Online launch plan. Those remain unannounced or unconfirmed. Edition names and bonus lists belong on official store pages; WhenGTA6 does not invent them here.
A pre-order is not an early unlock. Playable launch stays November 19, 2026. Midnight Eastern Time, when the countdown uses it, is a labeled assumption for that launch day — not a pre-order perk. Crossplay and GTA Online for VI at launch are also still unannounced.
Regional checkout totals (tax, currency, retailer extras) are not a second official USD base. Store-only discounts do not rewrite Take-Two’s published number until Take-Two says they do.
What WhenGTA6 will not claim
- A PC MSRP or a PC pre-order window
- That June 25 starts the download
- That $79.99 includes every country’s tax
- Special-edition prices WhenGTA6 invented
- That buying a console copy reserves PC
- That 60 FPS is included in the price

If you are deciding hardware, start with platforms. If you are watching the calendar, use the release date guide and the countdown. Jason and Lucia do not change the dollar figure.
This news item is a snapshot of the June 25, 2026 window. It is not a live deal blog. Retailer coupons, regional rounding, and bundle extras can appear on storefronts without Take-Two changing $79.99. WhenGTA6 will not maintain a price-watch table of those extras. Hardware cost is a separate bill: a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X|S is not included in the game’s USD base, and PS5 Pro enhancements are still unconfirmed. A receipt also does not confirm first-person or Online at launch. Those rows stay empty until a first-party sentence exists.
