The long-awaited pre-sale of Grand Theft Auto VI is set to officially begin. Fans will be able to purchase the title from midnight this Tuesday, June 25, 2026, according to information released by Rockstar Games to the press. Expectations are high, mainly due to the revelation of the game’s prices, one of the best kept secrets to date.
How the global pre-sale will work
Rockstar Games clarified that the game’s availability for advance purchase will follow “local time” in each country. This means that as the calendar turns to June 25th in each time zone, pre-sales will be released. This dynamic will allow the game’s first official values to be known initially in markets with more advanced time zones, such as Australia and Japan, offering an overview for the rest of the world.
Details about the start of marketing of the title
The formal pre-order announcement for GTA 6 took place on Thursday, June 18, when the developer also revealed the game’s official cover. This announcement precedes the opening of sales, generating even more buzz among the gaming community, who speculate about the different editions and possible gifts. Material sent to the press already mentioned editions such as Ultimate and Standard.
Anxiety about the final price of Grand Theft Auto VI
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding the release of Grand Theft Auto VI is its sales value to the public. So far, Rockstar has not officially released how much the game will cost in each market. The expectation is that prices will begin to appear with the start of pre-sales in the countries that first reach the established date and time, offering an overview for other markets.
