Rockstar has revealed the pre-order date and official cover art for Grand Theft Auto 6.

The developer has said pre-sales of the title - one of the most anticipated gaming releases to date - will begin on 25 June, both on digital stores like PlayStation Store and other select retailers.

GTA 6 will be released on 19 November for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, after it was delayed twice from autumn 2025 and May.

The previous game in the series, GTA 5, was released in 2013 and is the second best-selling game of all time.

Rockstar did not use Thursday's announcement to reveal GTA 6's price.

The question of how much the game will cost remains hotly debated amongst fans and analysts.

A 2025 report from gaming industry advisory company Epyllion suggested it could be the first to be priced at $100.

Alongside announcing its pre-order date, Rockstar also revealed the official cover art for the game in a thirty-second video.

Over a booming synth, the video shows the faces of the game's protagonists Jason and Lucia above its title, as well as additional characters due to appear in the sequel.

The game's setting of the fictional US state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, also gets some nods in the form of flamingos and alligators.

Living up to its namesake, fast cars, helicopters and motorbikes also grace the game's brightly coloured cover, created in the series' signature pop-art style.

GTA fans are still eagerly anticipating a new gameplay trailer for the sixth game of the franchise, after previous reveals in 2023 and 2025.

Both trailers, which took a deeper look at the game's narrative and the lives of its protagonists, currently have a total of 446 million views combined.
