Rockstar Games opened pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI on June 25 at midnight local time. The game is set for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The standard edition costs $79.99 (¥9,800 in Japan), and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 (¥12,280). The Ultimate Edition includes exclusive in-game shops such as a barber shop and a tattoo shop, along with vehicles, weapons, and apparel not available in the standard version. A pre-order bonus called the Vintage Vice City Pack is also available, which adds a classic sedan (Vapid Stanier), a garage near Ocean Beach, period-appropriate outfits for protagonists Jason and Lucia, and a weapon pattern inspired by the series' 2002 entry Vice City. The game is the first in the series to feature a female protagonist, Lucia, and is set in the fictional state of Leonida, which includes Vice City. Pre-orders are available through the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.
The game arrives approximately 13 years after the previous mainline entry. It was announced in December 2023 with an initial target of 2025, then delayed to May 26, 2026, and again to November 19, 2026. The story follows Lucia, the series' first female protagonist, and Jason, who grew up surrounded by criminals.
The pre-order bonus Vintage Vice City Pack includes a Vapid Stanier (55 model) sedan and an Ocean Beach Garage that contains a weapons cache and space to store stolen goods for sale. Jason receives a Vintage Pastel Linen Suit and a hairstyle that symbolizes the era of hedonism. Lucia gets a red sequin mini dress and curly hair. A weapon pattern inspired by Tommy Vercetti's palm tree button-up shirt can be applied to most guns.
The Ultimate Edition marks the series' first attempt at exclusive shops. Multiple stores, including a barber shop and a tattoo shop, can only be entered in that version. The $79.99 standard price matches Forza Horizon 6 and sits above the typical $69.99 full-price standard. The Japanese prices are ¥9,800 for the standard edition and ¥12,280 for the Ultimate Edition, listed on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. Rockstar Games says the game features the largest scale and most immersive experience in the series to date.
