GTA 6 Pre-Orders Open June 25 as Rockstar Reveals Official Cover Art

Rockstar Games has confirmed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will open on June 25, 2026. The announcement came on June 18 through a 33-second video posted on the studio's official X account, which also revealed the game's official cover art. The game launches on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This date has held firm after two previous delays pushed the title from its original Fall 2025 window. What the Cover Art Shows The GTA VI artwork features protagonists Jason and Lucia at the top center, rendered in a purple and orange color palette consistent with the series' pop-art style. The fictional state of Leonida, modeled on Florida, appears throughout the cover through imagery such as flamingos and alligators. A yellow car, a helicopter, and motorbikes are shown across separate panels. https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/2067594067030979053 A new story synopsis was also released by Rockstar: "When an easy score lands Jason and Lucia in a conspiracy stretching across the entire state of Leonida, the young criminal couple find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, forced to rely on each other more than ever before." Rockstar has posted a high-resolution version of the cover art to its website, available for download as a desktop or phone wallpaper. Where and How to Pre-Order GTA 6 Rockstar confirmed that pre-orders will open on June 25 through digital storefronts and select retailers.
