Rockstar Games has officially revealed the long-awaited preorder date for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) ahead of its scheduled launch on November 19. Players will be able to preorder the highly anticipated title starting June 25, exactly one week from today and nearly five months before release. While fans were hoping for a third trailer, Rockstar instead unveiled the game’s official cover art, featuring its iconic panel-style artwork that has become a hallmark of the GTA franchise.
GTA 6 Pre-Orders to Begin on June 25
Rockstar Games has officially announced that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) will start on June 25. Players will be able to pre-order the game through digital storefronts and selected retail stores.
In a statement on its official website, Rockstar said, “Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers. Check out the official cover art, also available as downloadable artwork.”
The company also confirmed that pre-orders will initially be available only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S users.
Physical Edition Details Still Unclear
While the June 25 launch date applies to digital platforms such as the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, Rockstar has not yet revealed the full list of retail stores that will offer physical copies of the game.
Fans interested in buying a physical edition may have to wait a little longer for more details about participating retailers.
Rockstar Unveils Official GTA 6 Box Art
Alongside the pre-order announcement, Rockstar also revealed the official GTA 6 box art for the first time. The artwork follows the studio’s iconic style and has already generated excitement among fans worldwide.
Could GTA 6 Trailer 3 Arrive Soon?
The pre-order announcement has also sparked speculation that Rockstar’s marketing campaign for GTA 6 is finally getting underway.
Earlier this year, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said that marketing for GTA 6 would begin during the summer. With summer officially starting on June 21, the June 25 pre-order launch appears to match that timeline perfectly.
Many fans now believe that Rockstar could release a third GTA 6 trailer around the same time, possibly on the day pre-orders go live.
New Vice City Screenshot Revealed
Sharp-eyed fans also noticed a new screenshot on the official pre-order page. The image offers a fresh look at Vice City, one of the most anticipated locations in GTA 6. The screenshot showcases a detailed cityscape and gives players another glimpse of the game’s impressive visuals.
November Release Date Looks On Track
The announcement is being viewed as a strong sign that GTA 6 remains on schedule for its November 19 release date despite previous delays. With pre-orders opening and marketing beginning, many fans believe Rockstar is now fully committed to the launch timeline.
While excitement continues to build, questions still remain about potential pre-order bonuses and the game’s final price. More details are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
