The GTA 6 editions
Rockstar has named two editions. The Ultimate Edition is the premium choice; nothing in the shape of a Deluxe or Collector's tier has been revealed.
Standard Edition
The core game
Everything in the single-player campaign — the full Jason and Lucia story spanning Leonida and Vice City. Place a reservation, or simply buy ahead of November 20, and the Vintage Vice City Pack is folded in for free.
Ultimate Edition · $99.99
The richest package
The top-tier release stacks on an exclusive line-up of vehicles, weapons, outfits and added action running through the campaign — together with the Vintage Vice City Pack, and a free month of GTA+ if you go digital. Browse the full Ultimate Edition contents for every reward.
Reservation bonuses
Vintage Vice City Pack
A bundle of retro-flavoured items that nod back to Vice City at its neon-soaked peak. It ships with every reservation, and with any copy bought before November 20, 2026, no matter which edition you choose.
A free month of GTA+
Reserve a digital edition and Rockstar includes one month of its GTA+ membership at no cost — a nice extra heading into release week.
Pre-loading opens November 12, 2026
Digital orders can start downloading on November 12, 2026 — a week ahead of release — so the game finishes installing and is playable the instant it unlocks on November 19. The boxed edition lands the same day, November 12, 2026, and since it ships with a download code instead of the full game on disc, retail buyers can pre-load right alongside everyone else.
Where and how to reserve GTA 6
On PlayStation 5
From your PS5 or via store.playstation.com, look up “Grand Theft Auto VI” in the PlayStation Store, choose an edition and tap Pre-Order. Digital orders start pre-loading on November 12, so the install is finished well before launch.
On Xbox Series X|S
Open the Microsoft Store on your Series X|S or at xbox.com, find Grand Theft Auto VI, pick the Standard or Ultimate Edition and select Pre-Order. Xbox’s price-guarantee means you’re billed the lowest figure shown before the game ships.
Boxed at a retailer
A boxed copy is confirmed for November 12. Rather than the whole game on disc, the case includes a download code — and that is precisely what allows physical buyers to pre-load before the November 19 launch.
And the price?
Rockstar has now put a number on it: the Ultimate Edition is $99.99, running $20 over the $79.99 Standard Edition. That premium tier bundles exclusive vehicles, weapons, outfits and Ultimate-only shops — our full Ultimate Edition guide lists every reward, while the price tracker covers regional costs.

Common pre-order questions
Are GTA 6 pre-orders live yet?
Yes. Grand Theft Auto VI went up for reservation at midnight local time on June 25, 2026 and is available to pre-order now via the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store and participating retailers.
Which GTA 6 editions can I reserve?
Two are confirmed. The Standard Edition is the full single-player game; the Ultimate Edition piles on an exclusive set of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel and extra action woven through Jason and Lucia’s story, plus a free month of GTA+ on digital. No Deluxe or Collector’s edition has been mentioned. The complete rundown lives at rockstargames.com/VI.
What does the Vintage Vice City Pack include?
It is a collection of nostalgic items themed around Vice City when the neon burned brightest. Every Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order, and every purchase placed before November 20, 2026, comes with it — on either edition.
What will GTA 6 cost to pre-order?
Rockstar has confirmed the Ultimate Edition at $99.99 — $20 more than the Standard Edition, now confirmed at $79.99. Our dedicated Ultimate Edition page lists everything the premium version adds.
When can I pre-load GTA 6, and is a disc included?
Digital reservations begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026. The physical edition also arrives that day, with a download code tucked inside the box instead of the game on disc — so boxed players can pre-load as well and be ready for the November 19 launch.
Is GTA 6 a single-player or multiplayer game?
Rockstar has stated Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player experience at launch. The Ultimate Edition extras and the Vintage Vice City Pack are all designed around that campaign.
Which platforms does the GTA 6 pre-order cover?
Only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been confirmed for launch, so a PC reservation is not available right now.
When is the GTA 6 release date?
Regardless of which edition you reserve, Grand Theft Auto VI launches worldwide on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
