Rockstar Games on Thursday revealed the official cover art for its highly anticipated video game, Grand Theft Auto VI, and said pre-orders will open on June 25 across digital storefronts and select retailers.

The announcement marks the latest step in the marketing campaign for the next instalment of the blockbuster Grand Theft Auto franchise, one of the most commercially successful entertainment properties in history. Rockstar shared the artwork and confirmed that players will be able to pre-order the game beginning next week.

The company has not yet announced pricing details. Pre-orders will be available through the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and participating retailers.

Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive have repeatedly reaffirmed the Nov. 19, 2026, release date after previous delays pushed the game beyond its original launch window.

The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, and follows protagonists Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval in a modern-day return to Vice City.

Rockstar has not announced a PC release date. The company has only confirmed launches for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, while a PC version remains unannounced.

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on Nov. 19, 2026, for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
