Pre-orders are live
GTA VI pre-orders are open for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game launches on 19 November 2026.
Take-Two lists the Standard Edition at $79.99 in the US and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99. Prices can differ by country and retailer, so the amount shown at checkout is the one that matters for your order.
Start with Rockstar’s GTA VI store, the PlayStation Store, or the Microsoft Store. If you buy from another retailer, check the seller, platform, edition, delivery terms, refund policy, and final price before paying.
Standard and Ultimate editions
The Standard Edition is the base GTA VI single-player game.
Rockstar describes the Ultimate Edition as the game plus a collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and other content used across Jason and Lucia’s story. Check the live product page for the full item list in your region before deciding whether the extra $20 is worthwhile.
There is no announced PC edition. Listings for PC keys, PC accounts, or PC pre-orders are not official GTA VI products.
Pre-order bonuses
Orders placed before 20 November 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+.
Those are the official headline bonuses. A retailer may advertise its own offer, but that offer needs to appear on the retailer’s product and checkout pages. Do not assume a banner, social post, or search result applies to your order.
Preload and physical copies
Digital preloading starts on 10 November 2026.
Rockstar says the physical version contains a download code in the box rather than a game disc. It reaches retailers from 12 November, two days after digital pre-load opens. Buyers who want a disc should not rely on the word “physical” alone.
What still varies by store
These details are not universal:
- regional prices and taxes;
- seller stock and delivery estimates;
- cancellation and refund terms;
- retailer bundles or loyalty offers;
- whether payment is taken immediately or at dispatch;
- the exact wording shown by a local platform store.
Amazon and other marketplace pages can also mix first-party retail inventory with third-party sellers. Confirm who is selling and fulfilling the order.
Before you pay
Check five things on the final product page:
- The platform says PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
- The edition name matches what you intended to buy.
- The seller is the platform holder, Rockstar, or a retailer you trust.
- The final price and delivery method are clear.
- You understand the cancellation and refund rules.
If any of those details are missing, wait. GTA VI will remain available after the first wave of pre-orders.
