Overview
- Rockstar said preorders open at local midnight on Thursday, June 25, 2026, through its store, the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts and selected retailers.
- The company listed U.S. prices at $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate edition, while an official euro-region price has not been published.
- Rockstar confirmed a console release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, with a preorder download window beginning November 12 and no PC release announced.
- Buyers who preorder before November 20 receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, digital preorders include a free month of GTA+, and physical retail boxes will contain only a download code rather than a disc.
- The pricing and distribution choices come as the franchise returns after a long gap and very large development costs, and industry commentators have predicted—unconfirmed—that preorders could generate unusually large revenue.
