Pre-orders are live

🛒 Opened June 25, 2026

Rockstar opened Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders on June 25, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Two editions only — no Special, no Collector's.

Standard Edition
$79.99
The base game. Available digitally and as a physical code-in-box — there is no disc in the box.
Ultimate Edition ⭐
$99.99
Everything in Standard plus the extras below. Digital only — sold through the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Store and the Rockstar Store.
🎁 Vintage Vice City Pack Free with any pre-order

Included with both editions — the classic car and the retro looks are not locked behind the pricier tier. You need to buy before November 20, 2026.

  • ’55 Vapid Stanier — two-tone vintage sedan
  • Shore Court Garage at Ocean Beach — includes a weapon locker and somewhere to stash stolen goods for fencing
  • Period outfits & hairstyles for both leads — a pastel linen suit for Jason, a red sequin dress for Lucia
  • Vintage weapon pattern
⭐ What the extra $20 buys Ultimate only

Rockstar threads this through the campaign rather than parking it in a separate menu.

  • ’95 Grotti Cheetah — mid-90s Vice City sports car
  • Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers with palm-tree engraving, plus custom versions of Jason’s Girardi ES9 and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistols
  • Exclusive outfits, tattoos, hairstyles, makeup and accessories for both protagonists
  • Exclusive businesses & locations — Rideout Customs, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo, and One-Eyed Willie’s off-road shop

PC is not in the picture at launch — no PC version ships November 19, and Rockstar has not announced a date for one. Buy direct from the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store and you also get one free month of GTA+. Full buying guide below ↓

🛒 How to buy — all three ways

💵 $79.99 Standard · $99.99 Ultimate

Three official routes. Buying direct from PlayStation or Xbox is the best value — those two throw in a free month of GTA+ that the Rockstar Store listing does not advertise. Whichever you pick, order before November 20 to get the Vintage Vice City Pack.

🎮 Rockstar Store
Straight from the publisher. Useful if you want everything tied to your Rockstar account.
  1. Open the Rockstar Store GTA VI page
  2. Sign in with your Rockstar Games Social Club account
  3. Pick Standard or Ultimate, and pick your platform — PS5 or Xbox Series X|S
  4. Your entitlement lands on the console store account you link
No GTA+ month advertised through this route — that offer is tied to buying direct on PlayStation or Xbox.
🕹 PlayStation 5
PS5 and PS5 Pro. Ultimate Edition is digital-only here.
  1. On the console: PlayStation Store from the home screen → search Grand Theft Auto VI
  2. Or in a browser: sign in at store.playstation.com and pre-order to your account
  3. Choose Standard ($79.99) or Ultimate ($99.99)
  4. Pre-load unlocks November 12 — it downloads itself if the console is in rest mode
✅ Includes 1 free month of GTA+ when you pre-order direct.
🎯 Xbox Series X|S
Series X and Series S. Not on Xbox One — this is current-gen only.
  1. On the console: open the Microsoft Store → search Grand Theft Auto VI
  2. Or in a browser: sign in at xbox.com and pre-order to your account
  3. Choose Standard ($79.99) or Ultimate ($99.99)
  4. Pre-load unlocks November 12 — queue it early and it downloads overnight
✅ Includes 1 free month of GTA+ when you pre-order direct.

A word on “physical” copies. Boxed versions from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and GameStop contain a download code, not a disc. You still download the whole game, and you cannot resell or lend it like a normal disc. If that matters to you, it is the single most important thing to know before ordering.
