How to Pre-Order GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox

You are trying to secure your copy of GTA 6 before the November 19, 2026 launch. Since pre-orders open at midnight local time on June 25, 2026, you need to complete the purchase through official storefronts rather than just wishlisting the title.

Important Pre-order Facts

There is no PC version of the game, so pre-orders are exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Note that physical editions contain a digital code in the box instead of a traditional game disc.

What you need

You will need an active PlayStation Network or Xbox account with a valid payment method linked. Ensure you have enough storage space on your console for the upcoming preload.

Steps

1. 01
   Open the PlayStation Store on your PS5 or the Microsoft Store on your Xbox console and search for 'Grand Theft Auto VI'.
2. 02
   Select your preferred edition, either the $79.99 Standard Edition or the $99.99 Ultimate Edition, and proceed to checkout.
3. 03
   Confirm your purchase to finalize the transaction; your payment method will be charged and your copy reserved for the November 19 launch.
4. 04
   If you prefer a physical copy, navigate to a retailer like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, or Walmart, search for 'GTA 6', and place your order directly through their platform.
5. 05
   Once your order is confirmed, wait until November 12, 2026, to begin preloading the game files so you are ready to play immediately on launch day.

Still not working?

If you are unable to complete the purchase, verify that your console's regional store settings match your payment method's billing country. Check your console's 'Library' or 'My Games and Apps' section to confirm the pre-order status if you did not receive a confirmation email.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my pre-order bonus if I buy after launch?

You must pre-order or purchase the game before November 20, 2026, to receive the Vintage Vice City Pack bonus.

Does wishlisting the game count as a pre-order?

No, wishlisting only sends you an alert when pre-orders open; you must manually complete the checkout process to reserve your copy.
