Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders can be preloaded from 12 November ahead of the game’s 19 November release, according to Rockstar. This should allow buyers to play as soon as it becomes available, but only those who preorder will be eligible for the early download.

The preload applies to digital purchases and boxed “physical” editions, which contain a download code rather than a disc; boxes are due to ship on 12 November. The standard edition costs $79.99 and the digital-only Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, with a $20 upgrade also available. All preorders include the Vintage Vice City Pack and one month of auto-renewing GTA+, while digital purchases made before 20 November 2026 qualify for the pack.
