GTA VI pre-order begins 25 June, fans have waited over a decade

Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will launch on 25 June. The game itself will reach retailers on 19 November 2026. Analysts predict that GTA VI could set a new price record for video games.

Anticipated for over a decade, the video game Grand Theft Auto VI will enter the market in stages: developer Rockstar Games has announced that pre-orders will begin on 25 June 2026, shortly after midsummer. The game itself will reach retailers on 19 November 2026.

The latest instalment in the GTA series, GTA V, was released in 2013 and has since sold over 200 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling video games of all time. Anticipation for the sixth instalment has grown extraordinarily within the fan community over the years, with any news about the game causing a stir on the internet.

Price may break records

Analysts are warning that the price of GTA VI may exceed the current standard pricing conventions for video games. While the current standard price for new console and computer games typically hovers around €70-80, speculation suggests that Rockstar Games may set the bar even higher.

Whether the long wait and the expected higher price will prove worthwhile will only become clear in November, when the game actually launches and the first reviews are published.
