The wait is finally coming to an end, as the pre-orders for the long-awaited GTA 6 are set to kick off on the 25th (local time).

Rockstar Games confirmed the pre-order schedule and platforms via their official website on the 18th. Notably, the official price tag for GTA 6, a detail that has kept both gamers and industry analysts on their toes, will be revealed on the very same day.

Alongside this announcement, the official cover art—an iconic staple of the GTA series—has finally been unveiled. Ever since the third instalment, the franchise has leaned into a distinct, comic-book-inspired aesthetic. From the sun-drenched streets of Vice City to the sprawling vistas of San Andreas, that pop-art style split-layout has become the series' visual signature.

This latest piece of art captures the vibe of GTA 6 with the protagonist’s silhouette framed by palm trees and the sea. It hits all the right notes for long-time fans, featuring the city's symbolic wildlife like flamingos and alligators, interspersed with high-octane racing cars, firearms, and key characters that define the series' gritty charm.

As the most anticipated release heading into 2026, GTA 6 follows the journey of Jason and Lucia through Vice City, a playground inspired by Miami, Florida. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19 (local time) for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. You can already add it to your wishlist on the official PlayStation and Microsoft stores. Best of luck with the pre-order scramble.
