GTA 6 pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 — both available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game launches November 19, 2026. There is no PC version at launch.
Here’s exactly how to pre-order GTA 6 on every platform right now.
How Do You Pre-Order GTA 6 on PS5?
Pre-ordering GTA 6 on PS5 is done through the PlayStation Store. Follow these steps:
- Open the PlayStation Store from your PS5 home screen (or visit store.playstation.com on a browser)
- Search “Grand Theft Auto VI”
- Select the edition — Standard ($79.99) or Ultimate ($99.99)
- Click Pre-Order and confirm your payment method
- Save your confirmation email
Once you’ve pre-ordered digitally, the game will begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026 — a full week before launch — so you can play the moment servers go live on November 19.
Physical copies on PS5 are also available through Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart. Important: the physical box contains a download code only — no disc. Redeeming the code before November 12 enables pre-loading exactly like a digital purchase.
How Do You Pre-Order GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S?
Pre-ordering on Xbox goes through the Microsoft Store. Steps:
- Open the Microsoft Store on your Xbox Series X|S (or visit xbox.com on a browser)
- Search “Grand Theft Auto VI”
- Select your edition and click Pre-Order
- Confirm your payment and keep the order confirmation
Xbox Series S note: the Series S is digital-only, so you must buy through the Microsoft Store — there is no physical option for Series S owners.
Physical copies for Xbox Series X are available at the same major retailers as PS5. The same no-disc rule applies: it’s a download code in a box.
Can You Pre-Order GTA 6 on the Rockstar Store?
Yes. The Rockstar Games website (rockstargames.com) is one of the official pre-order channels confirmed by Rockstar alongside the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.
To pre-order via the Rockstar Store:
- Go to rockstargames.com
- Navigate to the Grand Theft Auto VI page
- Select your edition and complete the purchase through your Rockstar Games Social Club account
Rockstar’s own storefront is a safe, legitimate option — particularly useful if you want everything under one Rockstar account.
What Is the GTA 6 Pre-Order Bonus — the Vintage Vice City Pack?
Every pre-order placed before November 20, 2026 — on any platform, in either edition — includes the Vintage Vice City Pack. It contains:
- ’55 Vapid Stanier — a classic 1950s sedan stored in the Shore Court personal garage near Ocean Beach (complete with weapon locker and stash point)
- Ocean Beach Garage at Shore Court
- Jason’s linen suit — vintage pastel, 1980s aesthetic
- Lucia’s red sequin mini dress and curly hairstyle
- Tropical weapon pattern — applies to most weapons, inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s iconic shirt
Digital pre-orders only also include a free one-month GTA+ subscription for use in the current version of GTA Online. Physical buyers do not receive this.
GTA 6 Standard Edition vs Ultimate Edition — Which Should You Buy?
There are only two editions. No Deluxe, no Collector’s Edition.
| Standard | Ultimate | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $79.99 | $99.99 |
| Base game | ✅ | ✅ |
| Vintage Vice City Pack | ✅ (pre-order) | ✅ (pre-order) |
| ’95 Grotti Cheetah | ❌ | ✅ |
| Shitzu Squalo boat | ❌ | ✅ |
| ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy | ❌ | ✅ |
| Personalized weapons | ❌ | ✅ |
| Exclusive outfits & tattoos | ❌ | ✅ |
| 5 exclusive in-game stores | ❌ | ✅ |
| PTT Youngin$ side mission | ❌ | ✅ |
| Format | Digital or physical (code) | Digital only |
The honest verdict: The Standard Edition contains the full story campaign — no missions or progression advantages are locked away. The Ultimate Edition’s biggest meaningful addition is the PTT Youngin$ exclusive side mission and five in-game shops (Rideout Customs, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo, One-Eyed Willie’s) that Standard players simply won’t have access to at launch.
If you care about completing everything on day one, spend the extra $20. If you just want the story, Standard is fine — and you can upgrade at any time after launch through the PlayStation or Xbox storefronts.
Where to Pre-Order GTA 6 — All Retailers
Digital (recommended):
- PlayStation Store (PS5)
- Microsoft Store (Xbox Series X|S)
- Rockstar Store (rockstargames.com)
Physical (US) — download code in box:
- Amazon
- Best Buy
- GameStop
- Walmart
- Target
Physical pre-orders at Amazon and GameStop sometimes include retailer-specific bonuses on top of the Vintage Vice City Pack — worth checking before you commit to a single storefront. Only buy from official storefronts or major retailers to avoid scam listings.
Is GTA 6 Pre-Order Worth It?
Yes — if you’re buying the game anyway. The Vintage Vice City Pack (the ’55 Vapid Stanier, garage, outfits, and weapon pattern) is locked to pre-orders placed before November 20. There’s no confirmed way to obtain these items after launch. Digital pre-orders also get the free GTA+ month.
There’s no price advantage to waiting — GTA 6 is digital-only at launch in practical terms (physical boxes hold codes), and Rockstar is unlikely to discount this title quickly after release.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pre-order GTA 6 on PC?
No. GTA 6 launches exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has not announced a PC release date. Based on past releases (GTA 5 arrived on PC roughly 18 months after consoles), a PC version is unlikely before late 2027 at the earliest.
Will GTA 6 be $100?
Not exactly. The Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $99.99. The base game costs $80 — above the $70 price point most current-gen titles have used, but the $100 figure applies only to the premium edition.
Does the GTA 6 physical edition include a disc?
No. Both Standard and Ultimate physical editions ship with a download code in the box — no disc. The physical box is available from November 12 to support pre-loading. Once you redeem the code, the game is permanently tied to your account and cannot be resold.
When can I start playing GTA 6 if I pre-order?
Pre-loading begins on November 12, 2026 for both digital pre-orders and physical code redemptions. The game unlocks at midnight local time on November 19, 2026.
Can I upgrade from Standard to Ultimate Edition later?
Yes. Standard Edition owners can purchase the Ultimate Edition upgrade at any time after launch through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store. You’re not locked out permanently — but the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus is only guaranteed if you order before November 20, 2026.
Is GTA 6 on PS4 or Xbox One?
No. GTA 6 is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There are no current-gen versions planned.
