Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will open on June 25, along with the reveal of the game’s official cover art. The announcement has renewed excitement around one of the most anticipated game launches in years.
What Rockstar revealed
The newly released artwork keeps the franchise’s familiar collage-style look while leaning into the Vice City-inspired setting of Leonida. It places Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval at the center, reinforcing the game’s Bonnie-and-Clyde-style storyline.
The art also features supporting characters such as Boobie Ike and Raul Bautista, along with fast cars, helicopters, boats, police chases, and an alligator, all of which fit the series’ chaotic tone. Players can already wishlist the title on digital storefronts, but pricing and special edition details have not yet been disclosed.

Release date and platforms
Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive say the game is still set for a global launch on November 19, 2026. At release, GTA VI will be available only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC version announced for the initial launch window.
The opening of pre-orders has also eased concerns about a possible delay. For many fans, it signals that Rockstar remains confident about hitting the launch target.
Why this matters
The pre-order announcement is more than a sales update. It is a strong sign that the marketing push for GTA VI is entering its final and most aggressive phase.
With the cover art now public, attention is likely to shift to a third trailer or a deeper look at gameplay in the coming weeks. For now, the June 25 pre-order date is the biggest new milestone in the countdown to launch.
