Pre-Order Date and Platform Details

Rockstar announced via X that GTA 6 pre-orders go live on June 25 across digital storefronts and other select retail partners. The studio is yet to reveal anything related to pricing, special editions, or any pre-order bonuses that might accompany the pre-order. This has left fans guessing whether Take-Two is going to stick to a standard launch price or will charge a premium for its first mainline entry in over a decade.
