Here’s a look at Grand Theft Auto 6’s official cover art
WIth the reveal of the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games has finally announced when it will open preorders for the game, which is due out this fall. Rockstar will open preorders for GTA 6 on Thursday, June 25, further evidence that the final Nov. 19 release date for the long-delayed game is all but set in stone now.
Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will officially begin on June 25 “on digital storefronts and at other select retailers,” Rockstar said in a post on X.
Rockstar did not announce pricing for Grand Theft Auto 6. The game is available to wishlist on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but it appears that the highly debated price of GTA 6 will be revealed sometime next week. To tide Grand Theft Auto fans over, Rockstar showed off the game’s final cover art, which shows protagonists Jason and Lucia, a variety of non-playable characters, and big Vice City vibes. It follows Rockstar’s cover art style as established way back in Grand Theft Auto 3, showing the variety of activities and criminal elements the GTA games are known for.
The game’s cover art is available to download in wallpaper form at Rockstar’s official GTA 6 website.
The launch of GTA 6 preorders marks one of the gaming industry’s biggest commercial moments in years. Fans have been eagerly awaiting preorder information ever since Rockstar revealed the game in late 2023, with speculation around pricing and editions reaching a fever pitch throughout 2025 and 2026.
Part of that excitement stems from uncertainty surrounding how Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive would price what is expected to become one of the best-selling entertainment products ever released. Industry analysts have repeatedly suggested that GTA 6 could help establish a new pricing standard for blockbuster video games.
GTA 6 is currently scheduled to launch on Nov. 19.
