Rockstar Games has officially announced that GTA 6 preorders will go live on June 25, according to GameSpot. The studio also dropped the game's official cover art, which means we are now one step closer to the most anticipated release in gaming history actually being real.

Here's the catch, though - and there's always a catch with Rockstar. The studio has not announced pricing, editions, or even what time preorders will go live on June 25. Just vibes, a date, and some cover art. Classic Rockstar playing the long game and keeping us all firmly on the hook.

If you want to get notified the moment preorders actually go live, you can wishlist GTA 6 right now on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That's basically your only concrete action item here, so go ahead and smash that wishlist button before Rockstar drops another information blackout for six months.

The cover art we can actually talk about

The official cover art has been revealed, and it's giving exactly the kind of sun-soaked, neon-drenched Vice City energy fans have been grinding for since the trailer dropped back in 2023. Rockstar knows how to cook visually, and the cover art is no exception.

So what do we actually know?

  • Preorders begin June 25 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
  • Official cover art has been revealed
  • No pricing details have been announced
  • No editions (standard, deluxe, premium, ultimate mega shark card bundle, etc.) have been confirmed
  • No specific preorder time has been given for June 25

Look, at this point Rockstar could announce GTA 6 comes in a single $200 edition that includes a physical disc made of solid gold and half the player base would still preorder it without blinking. The hype meter is simply too high. Mark June 25 on your calendar, keep your wallet nearby, and pray to the gaming gods that the price tag doesn't send us all back to replaying GTA 5 for the fourteenth time.
