Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders began on June 25, 2026, and preorders are already live on digital storefronts and select retailers. Rockstar’s announcement and recent coverage also indicate the game is slated for release on May 26, 2026, though some retailers may keep updating their listing details as launch approaches.

What this means

  • Pre-order date: June 25, 2026.
  • Availability: Digital storefronts and select retailers.
  • Physical copies: Reports say boxed editions may contain a download code rather than a disc.

Price notes

Coverage from the last couple of days says the standard edition is being discussed around £70 in the UK, with some articles also mentioning a $79.99-style price point in other markets. Exact pricing can vary by region and edition.

Safe way to order

  • Use Rockstar’s official announcement or trusted major retailers.
  • Double-check the platform, edition, and region before paying.
  • Be cautious of scam listings, since hype around GTA VI has already attracted fraud attempts.

If you want the shortest answer: pre-orders are live now, and the release date is being reported as May 26, 2026.
