GTA 6 Pre-Orders Set to Open June 25 as Analysts Forecast Record-Breaking Sales

Rockstar Games will open pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI on June 25, setting the stage for what investment bank Piper Sandler projects could become the largest entertainment launch in history, with an estimated 46 million copies sold on day one alone.bbc

A Historic Launch in the Making

The pre-order date was confirmed by Rockstar on June 18 alongside the game’s official cover art and a new logo. GTA 6 is scheduled to release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, following two prior delays from its original autumn 2025 and May 2026 windows.bbc

Piper Sandler’s analysis estimates that day-one sales could generate more than $3 billion in revenue, a figure that would dwarf previous entertainment launch records. The firm arrived at its 46 million unit estimate by applying a multiplier of 35x to projected engagement metrics from the game’s online community. For context, GTA 5 sold roughly 11 million copies on its launch day in 2013.wccftech

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, has guided for net bookings between $8.0 and $8.2 billion in fiscal year 2027, with CEO Strauss Zelnick identifying the November launch as a primary driver.forbes

Pricing Remains Officially Unconfirmed

While Rockstar has not announced official pricing, a European retailer reportedly listed several GTA 6 editions this week, showing a standard edition at €89.99, a deluxe edition at €109.99, a premium edition at €129.99, and a collector’s edition at €199.99. Industry observers expect the U.S. standard edition price to land around $79.99, with Vice reporting that leaked product codes suggest that figure for the base game.9to5toys

The Road to November

GTA 6 introduces a first-ever playable female protagonist in a 3D Grand Theft Auto game, named Lucia, alongside her partner Jason, in a story set across the fictional state of Leonida — Rockstar’s take on Florida. No PC version has been announced, though speculation points to an early 2027 release. A third gameplay trailer is widely expected to coincide with the pre-order launch.forbes
