GTA 6 Pre-Orders & Editions: Price, Tiers and When You Can Buy
When will pre-orders open?
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the marketing campaign will begin "around the start of summer" — industry watchers read that as late June or early July 2026, most likely alongside Trailer 3. Rockstar historically opens pre-orders the same moment a major marketing beat lands, so that's the window to watch.

How much will GTA 6 cost?
Not officially announced. The best signal we have: Zelnick indicated in early 2026 that the standard edition is expected in the $70–$80 range, in line with current AAA pricing. Persistent "$100 base game" rumors have never been supported by Take-Two statements.
The six-edition leak
Which edition should you actually buy?
Until real editions are announced, the honest guidance is the same advice that held for GTA 5 and RDR2:
- Most people: standard edition. Rockstar's deluxe tiers have historically bundled cosmetic and in-game-cash bonuses, not story content.
- GTA Online players: the premium tier usually pays for itself if you'll play the online mode heavily — but wait to see what GTA Online 2 bonuses actually include.
- Collectors: collector's editions sell out instantly and scalp hard. If the leak is right about a $150+ physical tier, decide before pre-orders open, not after.
Get ready before the rush
- Storage: file size isn't announced, but modern Rockstar games are enormous — clear 150GB+ on your console or be ready to buy an SSD expansion.
- Accounts: make sure your PSN/Xbox account and payment method work now. Launch-window store crashes are a tradition.
- Console: playing on PS5 or Series X|S only — there's no PS4/Xbox One version and no PC version at launch.
