Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI will release on November 19, priced at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Preorders begin tonight at midnight.
The highly anticipated title marks Rockstar's first mainline Grand Theft Auto release since 2013's GTA V. The standard edition retails for $79.99, reflecting the current pricing standard for next-generation console games. Players seeking additional content can opt for the Ultimate Edition at $99.99.
Preorder availability kicks off at midnight tonight, giving players immediate access to purchase either version. The November 19 release date positions GTA VI as a major holiday gaming release, coming during peak consumer spending season.
Rockstar has maintained relative secrecy around gameplay details and features, though previous trailers have provided glimpses of the game's setting and characters. The release represents a significant moment for the gaming industry, as GTA remains one of the most commercially successful franchises in entertainment.
Take-Two Interactive won't disclose Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order numbers, citing concerns about misleading shareholders. CEO Strauss Zelnick explained the decision during recent earnings communications.
