Staying true to its tradition of making major announcements at seemingly random times, Rockstar Games surprised fans this Thursday (June 18) by releasing a brand-new promotional trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). While the video doesn’t feature any new gameplay footage or cinematic scenes, it does reveal some important details about the highly anticipated game.
The short trailer, which runs for just over 30 seconds, was primarily used to unveil the official cover art for GTA 6. In addition, Rockstar confirmed that official pre-orders will begin on June 25 through digital storefronts and selected retail partners, although the company has not yet disclosed which retailers will participate.
The announcement is another strong indication that GTA 6 is still on track for its scheduled release on November 19, 2026. Although Take-Two Interactive has repeatedly reassured investors and fans that the game will not face another delay, some players remain cautious. Rockstar’s parent company has made similar statements in the past before changing release dates for major projects.
How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?
With pre-orders finally around the corner, one of the biggest unanswered questions surrounding GTA 6 may soon be resolved: its official price tag.
Over the past year, the game’s pricing has become a hot topic among industry analysts and gaming enthusiasts. Many believe Rockstar Games could leverage the enormous popularity of the Grand Theft Auto franchise to introduce a higher-than-average launch price.
Some market predictions have even suggested that GTA 6 could debut at over $100 USD, not including potential Deluxe, Collector’s, or Ultimate Editions. The argument is that despite the premium cost, millions of dedicated fans would still be willing to purchase the game on day one.
So far, Rockstar has remained silent regarding pricing details. However, one thing seems almost certain: GTA 6 is expected to become the biggest gaming release of late 2026.
The anticipation surrounding the game is so massive that several publishers have reportedly chosen to schedule their own releases in different months to avoid direct competition with Rockstar’s blockbuster title. With pre-orders opening soon and excitement continuing to grow worldwide, all eyes are now on Rockstar Games as fans eagerly await the next major reveal.
As November approaches, GTA 6 continues to dominate conversations across the gaming industry, setting the stage for what could become one of the most successful entertainment launches in history.
