Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) will begin on June 25. The announcement marks the next major milestone for the highly anticipated open-world crime epic, which is currently scheduled to launch in November 2027. 

While Rockstar has shared new trailers, screenshots, and story details in recent weeks, this is the first time players have been given a concrete date for securing their copy of the game. Purchasing the copy early will likely come with benefits for all editions. 

GTA VI Will Be Available for Purchase From June 26

Grand Theft Auto VI is widely expected to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history. Pre-orders opening on June 25 could provide an early indication of the game's commercial momentum.

Rockstar Games has not yet detailed available editions, regional pricing, or pre-order bonuses, though those details could be revealed closer to the launch of pre-orders.

The game will take players back to the state of Leonida, Rockstar's fictional take on Florida, and follows protagonists Jason and Lucia in what the studio describes as its most ambitious Grand Theft Auto experience to date. Since the release of the second trailer, anticipation for GTA VI has continued to build, with fans closely watching for new information about gameplay features, online support, and special editions.

With pre-orders now officially set in stone, June 25 is set to become one of the most significant days yet in GTA VI's road to launch. Details about the GTA VI PC version of the game are still under wraps. Players on the platform may have to wait for over a year before they can get their hands on the highly anticipated title.
