How to Pre-Order GTA 6: Editions, Bonus & Deadline

To pre-order GTA 6, buy it from a first-party store (the PlayStation Store or the Xbox/Microsoft Store) or a major retailer such as Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy. According to Rockstar's June 2026 announcement, GTA 6 pre-orders have been live since June 25, 2026, and every pre-order placed before November 20, 2026 includes the free Vintage Vice City Pack.

Key facts (as of July 2026):

• CONFIRMED: GTA 6 pre-orders went live June 25, 2026, ahead of a November 19, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
• CONFIRMED: Two versions exist — the Standard Edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99.
• CONFIRMED: Every GTA 6 pre-order or purchase made before November 20, 2026 includes the free Vintage Vice City Pack.
• CONFIRMED: The Ultimate Edition Upgrade can be bought separately later, so Standard buyers are not locked out.

How do you pre-order GTA 6?

You pre-order GTA 6 the same way as any modern console game: through a digital storefront or a retailer. According to Rockstar's June 2026 announcement, GTA 6 pre-orders went live at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. Because GTA 6 launches only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, you pre-order GTA 6 from one of these:

• PlayStation Store — for PS5
• Xbox / Microsoft Store — for Xbox Series X|S
• Major retailers reported to be taking pre-orders, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy

One thing to know before you pick a retailer: even a boxed copy of GTA 6 is a download code, not a disc, so there is no true physical release. We break down what that means in our GTA 6 no-disc explainer. GTA 6 is confirmed only for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so if you are on older hardware, check whether GTA 6 comes to PS4 or Xbox One first.

Which GTA 6 edition should you pre-order?

GTA 6 comes in two editions, and choosing between them is the main pre-order decision. The Standard Edition is $79.99 and includes the full game. The Ultimate Edition is $99.99 and, per Rockstar, adds an extensive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, and apparel woven across Jason and Lucia's story, with items unlocking as you move through the chapters. Press outlets including GameSpot and Kotaku reported in July 2026 that the Ultimate Edition also bundles a free month of the GTA+ membership.

The key detail: Rockstar confirmed that Standard Edition owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately at any time, so you are not locked into the $99.99 tier at pre-order. If you are unsure, the safe move is to pre-order the Standard Edition and upgrade later if you decide the extras are worth it. For a full side-by-side, see our Standard vs Ultimate Edition comparison and our breakdown of what the Ultimate Edition unlocks. For the full price picture, our guide to how much GTA 6 costs covers both tiers.

What is the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus?

The Vintage Vice City Pack is the free bonus GTA 6 gives to everyone who pre-orders, on either edition. Per Rockstar, the Vintage Vice City Pack includes retro outfits for Jason and Lucia, new hairstyles, weapon patterns, and vehicles with a classic Vice City look. It is the same bonus whether you buy Standard or Ultimate, so you do not need the pricier edition to get it. We keep a running list of exactly what is inside in our GTA 6 pre-order bonus guide.

When is the GTA 6 pre-order bonus deadline?

The GTA 6 pre-order bonus deadline is November 20, 2026. Any GTA 6 pre-order or purchase made before that date qualifies for the free Vintage Vice City Pack; buy after it and you lose access to the pack. Since GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026, that gives you a narrow window around release day to still count as an eligible early buyer. If you want the pack, the simple rule is to have your order placed before November 20, 2026. For the full launch timeline, see when GTA 6 comes out.

What would change this answer?

The pre-order basics above are confirmed by Rockstar, but a few things could still shift: regional pricing differs outside the United States, individual retailers can change their own bonus or cancellation terms, and Rockstar could extend or adjust the Vintage Vice City Pack window. We track this kind of promise on our public Scorecard, so if the deadline or bonus terms change, you will see it flagged there.
