GTA 6 pre order
The release date might be quite close, but it may still be some time until we see a GTA 6 pre order and its associated special editions.
GTA 6 pre orders will surely be the hot ticket item of the year in gaming circles, but when will pre orders go live, and what will the pre order benefits include?
Just looking at previous Rockstar releases, we can infer when pre orders will go live, how much it’ll cost, and take a pretty good guess at what GTA 6 pre order bonuses we might be getting thanks to prior Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto collector’s editions.
When can I pre order GTA 6?
We predict that GTA 6 pre orders will be available from April 2025 at the earliest, with an intial GTA 6 price tag of $70 for standard editions of the game.
More than 10 years ago, GTA 5 launched on September 17, 2013, having originally been slated for release in February 2013. Pre orders for GTA 5 weren’t available until November 5, 2012, just four months prior to the originally intended release date.
With the GTA 6 release date still set for Q3 2025, we believe gamers will have anywhere between 5-8 months to pre order the game, assuming there are no GTA 6 delays on the horizon.
As for pricing, it’s unlikely that a GTA 6 pre order will go for anything more than the standard AAA price tag of $70, though a few rumors have circulated online regarding the GTA 6 price being substantially higher and reaching as much as $300. Despite these rumors, nothing concrete suggests the game could ever reach such a high price (unless you want to count Shark Cards for a GTA Online experience, but that’s a very different kettle of sharks).
GTA 6 pre order bonuses
Considering previous Rockstar game pre orders, it seems likely that GTA 6 pre order bonuses could have:
- A SteelBook
- Several days of Early Access
- A physical copy of the GTA 6 map
- Bonus in-game clothes and weapons
- Bonus GTA$ and RP for the GTA 6 equivalent of GTA Online or for the current GTA Online experience
Our predictions for pre order bonuses are based on the GTA 5 pre order editions. In the run-up to the GTA 5 release, numerous special editions were made available for pre order, and included the following goodies:
- An exclusive SteelBook
- A blueprint map of the in-game playable area
- A boost to the main playable character’s special abilities, making their respective abilities recharge 25% faster
- A series of stunt plane challenges
- Bonus character customization options
- Additional weapons, available for free at Ammunation shops, including the Pistol .50, a Bullpup Shotgun, and the Hammer melee weapon
The GTA 5 collector’s edition contained a few extra goodies, including a money bag (inspired by the in-game Heist missions), and several bonuses for the singleplayer campaign, and GTA Online.
However, it’s also been more than a decade since GTA 5’s 2013 release, so it is possible that GTA 6 will benefit from numerous exclusive bonuses that more recent pre orders have packaged into games such as Early Access, a Season Pass (if Rockstar commit to DLC for GTA 6, unlike their scrapped GTA 5 DLC), and more.
GTA 6 Early Access
It seems a foregone conclusion that a GTA 6 special edition pre order will provide a variety of free skins for weapons, vehicles, and possibly more. But, we believe that a pre order will also provide several days of exclusive access ahead of the proposed GTA 6 release date. This trend has been seen with a number of modern releases, including Starfield pre orders, and it’s unclear if Rockstar will resist this pattern.
Of course, what the GTA 6 pre order will contain in full, whether it will have Early Access, and when it will land has yet to be officially announced by Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive. Hopefully, in the coming months, more details will be revealed.
Until then, make sure to check out which GTA 6 weapons and GTA 6 vehicles were spotted in the official trailer, and see if your PC can run the GTA 6 system requirements.
