Rockstar has set GTA 6 pre-orders for 25 June, giving players a date to line up purchases before the game’s 19 November release. The move sharpens the launch window for one of the year’s biggest games, but it still leaves the price off the table.
Jason and Lucia lead GTA 6
GTA 6 will feature Jason and Lucia as playable characters, and Lucia will be the first ever playable female protagonist in a 3D setting in the series. That gives the release a selling point beyond scale: a new lead pairing built around a Bonnie and Clyde-style setup after an easy score goes wrong.
Rockstar and Take-Two have been holding that material close while the schedule firmed up. After two delays, first from autumn 2025 and then May 2026, the 25 June pre-order date signals that the campaign is finally moving from wait mode to retail mode.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S
GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, which means the first wave is limited to current-generation console buyers. For anyone on PC, that leaves no release date in hand yet, and the rollout remains split by platform rather than shared across the full market.
That hardware split matters because a game expected to be the biggest launch of the year is already being sold as a console event first. Rockstar holds GTA 6 price back as the pre-order date approaches, and the missing number is now the most important part of the sales pitch.
What stays unsaid on 25 June
Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two have not revealed the game's price, even as analysts estimate it could be the first to be priced at $100. That leaves buyers with a date, platforms and release timing, but not the final bill they will face in late June.
GTA 6 arrives with $1bn and £866m already circulating around its development cost talk, and the price gap will shape whether the pre-order push feels routine or aggressive. The real answer now is simple: if you want the game on day one, 25 June is the first day to act, but the cost still needs to be set before anyone can decide how hard to lean in.
