Pre-orders will cover both digital and physical copies. PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store listings are scheduled to go live that day, and Rockstar indicated some physical retailers will begin selling copies then as well.
The cover art follows the comic panel style used in past Grand Theft Auto entries. Different vehicles and characters surround the game logo, with leads Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval positioned at the very top.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set for PS5 and Xbox Series X on November 19, 2026. The cover art reveal and pre-order confirmation arrive as the release window has shifted over time, from an early possible 2025 launch to May 26, 2026, and then to the current November 19 date following staff terminations tied to union-busting allegations.
A legal case filed by terminated Rockstar employees is scheduled for trial starting September 10, 2026 in the UK. Members of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain may raise blacklisting claims and possible union-busting in that proceeding.
Rockstar said it let people go as a result of leaking confidential information.
