GTA 6 pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026 and remain available. They cover the two confirmed launch platforms only: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC pre-order because there is no announced PC version.

Where you can pre-order

  • PlayStation Store (digital)
  • Microsoft Store (digital)
  • Rockstar Store (digital)
  • Global retailers and storefronts (physical, which ships a box with a download code)

A PS5 is not required to place a pre-order — you can choose Xbox Series X|S, or use cloud gaming and Remote Play later. The PS5 vs Xbox page explains the platform choice.

What the pre-order bonus includes

For pre-orders placed before November 20, 2026:

  • The Vintage Vice City Pack (retro-themed items) on every edition
  • A one-month GTA+ membership on digital pre-orders

GTA+ is auto-renewing, so if you do not want it to bill after the first month, turn off auto-renew in your account settings before it lapses. This applies regardless of whether you pick Standard or Ultimate — both get the same pre-order perk.

Pre-load is separate

Pre-loading opens November 12, 2026, not at pre-order time. You pre-order now, then download the game files a week before launch. The preload date page covers why the early download does not unlock the game early.

Cancelling or refunding

  • Digital pre-orders: store refund policies generally allow a refund if you cancel before the game is delivered or played. Since the game unlocks November 19, you have a window between now and launch to cancel without penalty. Check your specific store’s policy.
  • Physical pre-orders: returnable per the retailer’s standard return terms, since the box ships a download code rather than a playable disc.

Price reminder

Standard is $79.99 and Ultimate is $99.99. If you are deciding between them, the editions comparison lays out exactly what the $20 upgrade adds. The launch date itself is on the release date page.
