GTA 6 Pre-Orders & Editions: Price, Tiers and When You Can Buy

Last updated June 12, 2026 · We'll update this page within hours of pre-orders opening

Status check (June 12, 2026): Pre-orders are not open yet. Rockstar has not announced official pricing or editions. Anyone selling you a "GTA 6 pre-order" right now is selling a placeholder or a scam.
Expected GTA 6 edition tiers: standard 70 to 80 dollars, premium around 100 dollars rumored, collector 150 dollars plus rumored
Expected tier structure — premium and collector tiers are leak-based and labeled rumor

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

Rumor — not confirmed: A May 2026 retail leak pointed to six editions (three digital, three physical), roughly shaping up as: a standard edition (~$70–$80), a premium edition with digital bonuses (reportedly ~$99.99), and a collector's edition with physical extras ($150+). Some leaks also claim an early-access period for higher tiers. Treat all of it as plausible-but-unverified until Rockstar speaks.

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:

Get ready before the rush

  1. 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.
  2. Accounts: make sure your PSN/Xbox account and payment method work now. Launch-window store crashes are a tradition.
  3. Console: playing on PS5 or Series X|S only — there's no PS4/Xbox One version and no PC version at launch.
