Millions of players had been expecting the pre‑order for GTA VI to start a few weeks ago, as various insiders claimed that the new trailer was imminent. Instead, Rockstar Games chose to stay silent and let the busy announcement season pass, opting to share more details about the highly anticipated title later.

Fans of the long‑running franchise are already lining up their wallets for what is widely regarded as the most anticipated game of the year. Rockstar Games has announced that pre‑orders for GTA VI will open on June 25th, the Thursday of next week.

Pre‑orders will be available to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners through both digital storefronts and a range of retail partners. The game has already been added to wish lists across both platforms, and after more than a decade of anticipation, players will soon be able to secure a copy.

Rockstar also teased the official cover art on social media, a visual that will appear on physical editions. The artwork retains the franchise’s signature aesthetic, featuring the protagonists alongside other characters who will populate the new Vice City adventure.

The cover also showcases several vehicles that players can employ to complete missions and advance the story of playable characters Lucia and Jason. Below you can view the official cover image.

The recent announcement from Rockstar has left the gaming community buzzing with anticipation, yet the studio has withheld key details such as the official price and the specific editions that will be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Industry insiders suggest that this information is set to surface on June 25—or perhaps even a touch earlier—but for now, all we have are rumors and leaks.

When it comes to pricing, the consensus leans toward a standard range of $70 USD to $80 USD for the base edition of GTA VI. Some fans argue that a $100 USD price tag would be justified, while others remain skeptical, especially after certain retailers have listed the title as high as $115 USD.

Analysts warn that Rockstar cannot afford to price GTA VI beyond what the market expects, as the game is poised to be the studio’s primary revenue driver for the next decade. The looming cost concerns are amplified by the fact that some retailers have already set a premium price point.

Take‑Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has recently reassured players that GTA VI will be priced fairly and promises to deliver the most immersive entertainment experience ever.

Rumors from industry insiders suggest that the launch will feature at least three distinct editions, including a special version and one enriched with additional digital content, though none will contain physical collectibles.

There are also whispers of at least two exclusive bundles tailored for the PlayStation 5 Pro, each pairing the console with the game for a premium experience.
