Pre-Orders Open June 25, GTA 6 Cover Art Finalized

Rockstar Games has locked in June 25, 2026 as the day pre-orders open for Grand Theft Auto VI. The studio also released the game's final cover art. The confirmation, reported by multiple outlets including Forbes and Polygon, ends weeks of speculation about when fans could secure their copy.

The pre-order date aligns with earlier leaks and retailer listings that pointed to late June. With the date now firm, buyers can plan to reserve either the Standard Edition at $79.99 or the Ultimate Edition at $99.99. Both editions are exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as Rockstar has not announced a PC version at this stage.

The cover art, which features series hallmarks like a vibrant color palette and a helicopter, had been circulating unofficially for days. Rockstar's release of the final artwork confirms those earlier images were accurate. It shows protagonists Lucia and Jason front and center, with the Vice City skyline in the background. Our earlier coverage of the cover art reveal and pre-order timing has more on the initial leak.

Pre-ordering will likely grant access to bonuses, though Rockstar has not detailed those yet. The game itself launches November 19, 2026. For fans tracking pricing and availability, our GTA 6 price tracker and worldwide price guide break down what to expect in different regions.

The only way to guarantee a copy on launch day is through official storefronts. With pre-orders weeks away, the countdown to Vice City has a concrete starting line.
