This marks the third release window for the game. It was originally teased for "2025" before slipping to May 2026 and then settling on November 19, 2026 . Rockstar attributed the final delay to needing "additional polish" .
There is no PC version at launch. GTA 6 is confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only. Industry analysts and reporting suggest a PC port will likely follow at least a year after the console release, consistent with Rockstar's historical pattern for games like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 .
Pre-orders for GTA 6 begin on June 25, 2026. The announcement came via a 30-second teaser video on Rockstar's YouTube channel, which also revealed the game's official cover art . The cover features the franchise's classic collage style, centering on protagonists Lucia and Jason against a neon Vice City backdrop .
Digital pre-orders will be available through the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, with physical editions available at select retailers . Pricing has not yet been announced but is expected on June 25 .
The game takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, with its heart in Vice City — the series' Miami-inspired locale .
The story follows a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style duo: Lucia, the series' first female protagonist, and Jason, her male counterpart . Both were confirmed in the first trailer and Rockstar's official descriptions. The cover art visually reinforces their partnership, with the pair positioned front and center .
Between June 20–22, 2026, the official YouTube account posted a comment under the GTA 6 Trailer 2 video that simply reads: "Consider us busy on June 25."
This comment has been covered by multiple outlets including GamesRadar, ABP Live, OpenCritic, Khel Now, and Sportskeeda . It has more than 11,000 likes and has ignited widespread community speculation that Rockstar will drop the long-awaited third trailer on the same day pre-orders open .
There are two main camps of interpretation:
The skeptic view, expressed by outlets like GamesRadar, notes that the YouTube comment could simply reference the pre-order launch infrastructure — store pages going live, traffic management, and the increased platform activity around a major game pre-order — rather than a trailer premiere .
The optimist view, argued by Sportskeeda and others, notes that Rockstar has historically bundled major marketing beats together, and dropping a trailer on pre-order day would be consistent with their marketing playbook. The first two trailers also arrived without prior announcement, making a surprise drop on June 25 plausible .
Some outlets, like TechJuice and Notebookcheck, note that the comment might also be interpreted as YouTube signaling it will be handling heavy traffic from pre-orders — not necessarily a new trailer .

| Trailer 3 | Unconfirmed. YouTube comment hints at June 25, but no Rockstar confirmation | |

| Pre-order bonuses | Unannounced |
June 25, 2026, is a confirmed date for pre-orders — that much is certain. Whether Trailer 3 arrives alongside it is the biggest open question in gaming right now. The YouTube comment has made that the leading theory, but Rockstar itself has stayed silent on any trailer announcement.
Fans should set their expectations accordingly: June 25 is a day for securing a copy of the game, not necessarily a day for new footage. If a trailer does drop, it will likely appear without prior notice, as Rockstar has done with both previous trailers.
