Rockstar Games said that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2024 [1].
As one of the most anticipated titles in entertainment history, the launch of GTA 6 is expected to drive significant hardware sales and set new benchmarks for open-world gaming. The announcement provides the first concrete timeline for consumers to secure the game before its official release.
The developer revealed the official cover art through its online channels and said the game is slated for a full launch in November 2024 [2, 3]. While a specific day in November has not been confirmed by all primary sources, the window establishes the final countdown for the project [3].
Pricing details remain based on analyst projections rather than a final official price list. Industry analysts estimate the standard edition will cost between $69.99 and $79.99 [4]. Bank of America suggested a specific launch price of $80 [5].
For players seeking premium content, deluxe and premium editions are estimated to range from $99.99 to $109.99 [4]. These tiers typically include additional in-game currency, or early access to specific features—though Rockstar has not yet detailed the exact contents of these packages.
The company used its official social media and online platforms to distribute the news, sparking immediate discussion across gaming communities [3]. The move comes as the industry prepares for a heavy fourth-quarter release schedule.

The transition from teaser trailers to a firm pre-order date signals that Rockstar Games has entered the final polishing phase of development. By targeting a November launch, the company is positioning the title to dominate the holiday shopping season, likely leveraging a tiered pricing strategy to maximize revenue from both casual players and hardcore collectors.
