Quick answer: GTA 6 pre-orders went live on June 25, 2026. The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, both as digital purchases on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-order either one before November 20, 2026 and you get the Vintage Vice City Pack for free. The game still launches on November 19, 2026.
The wait for a price tag is over. After months of silence broken only by the cover art reveal, Rockstar opened pre-orders and finally told us what GTA 6 costs and what comes in the box — except there's no box. Here's the breakdown.
Where to pre-order GTA 6
Pre-orders are open now on the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store, plus major retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop. Both versions are digital, so retailer pre-orders are sold as download codes rather than discs. There is no physical disc at launch and no paid early access — everyone unlocks the game at the same time on November 19.
The two editions at a glance
Standard Edition — $79.99. The complete single-player game with Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos across Vice City and the state of Leonida. Nothing is cut from the core experience.
Ultimate Edition — $99.99. Everything in Standard, plus a bundle of bonus vehicles, personalized weapons, exclusive apparel and tattoos, and access to Ultimate-only in-game shops.
What's in the Ultimate Edition?
The extra $20 buys cosmetic and gameplay extras rather than story content. Confirmed Ultimate-only items include three vehicles — the '95 Grotti Cheetah, the Shitzu Squalo, and the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy — along with personalized weapons, exclusive outfits and tattoos, and special shops you won't see in the Standard version.
None of this changes the campaign. If you only care about playing through Jason and Lucia's story, the Standard Edition gives you the whole thing. The Ultimate is for players who want a head start on style and a few toys to mess around with.
The Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus
This is the part that rewards buying early. Pre-order either edition — or buy the game any time before November 20, 2026 — and Rockstar throws in the Vintage Vice City Pack at no extra cost. It leans hard into the 1980s look the series is known for.
- The '55 Vapid Stanier, a classic cruiser
- An Ocean Beach garage to store it in
- Vintage outfits for both Jason and Lucia
- Period-correct hairstyles
- A retro weapon pattern
It's a launch-window bonus, not a pre-order exclusive in the strictest sense — but since it disappears after November 19, there's no reason to wait if you already know you're buying.
Pre-load and release timing
GTA 6 unlocks on November 19, 2026. If you pre-order the digital version, you'll be able to pre-load the game on November 12, a full week ahead, so it's installed and ready the moment the servers flip. That's worth doing for a download this size.
The cover art, in case you missed it
The pre-order push built on the cover art Rockstar revealed earlier in June. It's a classic GTA collage: Jason and Lucia front and center in the series' purple-and-orange palette, surrounded by a banking helicopter, a motorcycle mid-wheelie, a yellow supercar, and nods to Leonida's wildlife — flamingos and an alligator. You can download the official art from rockstargames.com/VI.
Is there a GTA 6 PC version?
Not yet. Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and there's no PC pre-order. Speculation, not confirmed: both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 came to consoles first and reached PC months later, so a delayed PC release is the pattern fans expect — but Rockstar hasn't said a word about it. Treat any PC "date" you see as a rumor until it's official. We track every claim like this on our rumor tracker.
Should you pre-order now?
Pre-ordering a digital game carries less risk than it used to — you can cancel a PlayStation or Xbox digital pre-order for a refund before release if you change your mind. If you're confident you're buying GTA 6, locking in the Vintage Vice City Pack and securing the November 12 pre-load makes early ordering an easy call. If you're on the fence about Standard versus Ultimate, start with Standard; the Ultimate extras are cosmetic and the campaign is identical.
