Rockstar Games has finally shared new details about Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) pre-orders, along with information about the game's Ultimate Edition and the bonuses players can get by buying the game early. The company has also confirmed when players can begin pre-loading the game and what digital buyers will receive alongside their purchase.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders for both the Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition will go live at midnight local time on June 25.
GTA 6 release date and pre-load details
Rockstar says players who pre-order a digital copy will be able to pre-load the game from November 12, giving them enough time to download everything before launch day.
Players planning to buy the physical edition should note that the box will not include a game disc. Instead, it will come with a download code. Physical copies will also be available from November 12, allowing buyers to pre-load the game before its November 19 release.
