Two editions are available: the Standard Edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99, both with a Vintage Vice City Pack as a pre-order bonus for anyone who secures their copy before November 20.
No PC version is available at launch, and physical copies come as a code in a box rather than a traditional disc. The full guide below walks you through every step: how to pre-order on each platform, what each edition includes, the pre-order bonuses, and what to expect between now and launch night.

How to Pre-Order GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S

How to Pre-Order GTA 6 at Retail

Physical pre-orders are available at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and other select stores. A few details worth knowing before ordering from a retailer.
Retail pre-orders ship a code-in-box rather than a traditional game disc. Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart typically charge your payment method only when the game ships, giving you extra time to save before release. Retailer-specific bonuses have not been announced, but the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus applies to all pre-orders regardless of where you buy.
If your preferred retailer shows the game as out of stock, keep the account logged in and wishlist the game. Restocks happen frequently in the weeks before major launches.

Standard Edition ($79.99)

Can You Pre-Order GTA 6 on PC?

No. GTA 6 is launching exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been officially announced or dated. Based on Rockstar's history (GTA 5 reached PC roughly 18 months after its console debut), analysts expect a PC release sometime in 2027, but no pre-order option exists for PC players right now. For the full breakdown, our guide on why GTA 6 is not launching on PC covers the reasoning and expected timeline.
Tips for a Smooth Launch Night
Securing the pre-order is step one. Here is how to make sure November 19 runs smoothly.
Pre-load the game the moment the option becomes available. GTA 6 will likely require 100GB or more of storage, so clear space on your console's SSD now rather than scrambling at midnight.
Check your internet connection. A stable download and clean connection to Rockstar's servers will matter for GTA Online access.
Plan your fuel. A launch-night session can easily stretch past sunrise. Stock up on a clean energy formula and keep the right gaming gear setup ready. A scoop of zero-sugar, 140mg-caffeine Energy Formula at 11 PM keeps focus sharp through the opening cutscenes and first mission without the jittery spike of a sugary alternative.
If you plan to stream launch night, a Hydration Formula on the side keeps you hydrated without adding more caffeine to the mix. Long streams demand steady fuel, not a single burst that fades by hour two.
Gear Up for Vice City
GTA 6 is the launch a generation of players has waited more than a decade for. The pre-order window is open, the editions are confirmed, and November 19 is locked. Secure your copy, clear your storage, and stock the desk with a classic flavor for the opening night grind. Rotate in a new arrival when the routine starts to feel stale, and check the full GTA 6 vs GTA 5 comparison to know exactly what's changed.
