Grand Theft Auto VI is finally in the pre-order phase on PlayStation 5. As of June 25, 2026, Rockstar’s official GTA VI page shows Pre-Order Now, and the US PlayStation Store lists both the Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition for PS5.
That means the waiting game has moved into a different phase. GTA 6 is no longer just trailers, leaks, analysis videos and release-window guesses. You can now put money down for the PS5 version.
Here is the short version: GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026, the PS5 Standard Edition is listed at $79.99 on the US PlayStation Store, and the Ultimate Edition is listed at $99.99. Pre-order buyers get the Vintage Vice City Pack and one month of GTA+, with important auto-renewal terms attached.
GTA 6 PS5 pre-order details
The official PlayStation Store listing now shows Grand Theft Auto VI as a PS5 game with pre-orders open. The listing also labels it as PS5 Pro Enhanced, supports Remote Play, includes DualSense vibration and trigger effects, and lists offline play for one player.
The official PlayStation game page confirms a few practical details that matter before you buy:
That last point is easy to miss. The pre-order language around GTA+ and the Vintage Vice City Pack is tied to purchase timing and redemption terms, not just the fact that you bought the game at some point.
GTA 6 PS5 price: Standard vs Ultimate Edition
On the US PlayStation Store, the two main editions are listed like this:
| Edition | US PS Store price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| --- | ---: | --- |
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | Grand Theft Auto VI, Vintage Vice City Pack, one month of GTA+ |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | Grand Theft Auto VI, Ultimate Edition Upgrade, Vintage Vice City Pack, one month of GTA+ |
The $79.99 price will get the most attention because it confirms GTA 6 as part of the new higher-price tier for major console releases. The $99.99 Ultimate Edition is the premium route if you want the extra story-mode items and cosmetics.
Prices can vary by region, so treat the dollar amounts here as US PlayStation Store pricing, not a universal worldwide price list. If you are buying from Sweden, the UK, Europe or another region, check your local PlayStation Store before assuming the same conversion.
What comes with the Ultimate Edition?
The PlayStation Store says the Ultimate Edition includes the base game, the Vintage Vice City Pack, one month of GTA+, and an Ultimate Edition Upgrade.
The listed upgrade content is focused on exclusive items for Jason and Lucia across the story. The PlayStation Store description mentions premium vehicles, weapons, apparel and other extras. Examples include the ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk and Little Morgan revolvers, personalized weapon variants, Vice City Style items, Jason’s Safehouse vehicles, and additional themed upgrades.
That makes the Ultimate Edition feel less like early access and more like a premium in-game bundle. If you mostly care about playing the story on launch day, the Standard Edition looks like the cleaner option. If you know you will want the extra items anyway, the Ultimate Edition is the packaged version.
The pre-order bonuses
Both PS5 editions list the same main pre-order bonuses:
The Vintage Vice City Pack is clearly built around the nostalgia angle: Vice City, neon, throwback style, and the franchise’s long memory. For many players, that will probably be the cleaner bonus because it is directly tied to the game.
The GTA+ month is more complicated. PlayStation’s listing says the subscription continues until canceled, and the PlayStation game FAQ explains that players need to claim the offer through the GTA+ product page after pre-ordering. It also says the offer must be redeemed by March 31, 2027.
In other words: if you only want the free month, set yourself a reminder to cancel before the paid renewal date. This is not unusual for subscription bonuses, but it is exactly the kind of fine print people forget during hype cycles.
Is GTA 6 playable on PS4?
No. PlayStation’s official GTA VI FAQ says the game will only be playable on PlayStation 5 consoles and will not be available for PlayStation 4.
That is not surprising. GTA 6 is being positioned as a current-generation release, and Rockstar’s own page lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PlayStation page also emphasizes DualSense features, Tempest 3D Audio and PS5-specific enhancements.
If you are still on PS4, this pre-order news is also a hardware decision. GTA 6 is one of the clearest “time to upgrade” releases of this generation.
Should you pre-order GTA 6 now?
The honest answer depends on what kind of player you are.
If you already know you will play GTA 6 on launch day, pre-ordering now locks it in and gets you the listed bonuses. Digital supply is not going to sell out, but pre-ordering can make sense if you want the purchase handled early and plan to download before launch.
If you are unsure, there is no need to rush. The game launches on November 19, 2026, and the listed pre-order bonus window runs before November 20, 2026. You have time to wait for more gameplay, performance details, reviews, and maybe clearer information about how the Ultimate Edition content feels in practice.
For me, the smart approach is:
Why this pre-order matters
GTA 6 is not a normal release. Rockstar has had more than a decade of cultural momentum since GTA V, and GTA Online changed how long a Grand Theft Auto game can stay commercially relevant. GTA VI arriving with a $79.99 base price, a $99.99 Ultimate Edition and subscription-linked pre-order bonus says a lot about where premium console games are heading.
This is not just a game launch. It is likely to be one of the biggest entertainment launches of the decade.
The interesting part is that Rockstar is keeping the main message simple: Vice City, Jason and Lucia, Leonida, November 19, 2026, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The pre-order page adds the business layer: editions, bonuses, subscriptions and pricing.
For players, the job is to separate those two things. Be excited for the game. Read the product page before buying.
