The wait is almost over. Almost 13 years after the last mainline Grand Theft Auto game, preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are set to go live at midnight local time tonight. Rockstar Games announced the base game will cost $80 and the Ultimate Edition of the game, filled with personalized weapons, vehicles and more, will cost $100.
This single game has caused a seismic shift in the gaming landscape of 2026. Once Rockstar announced the game would be released on November 19 -- after a few delays -- every other gaming studio has avoided the month like the plague.
August, September and October are packed with at least 30 releases across those months, including Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy on Aug. 27, Marvel's Wolverine on Sept. 15 and Gears of War: E-Day on Oct. 6. But November? According to GameRant, only Godzilla is willing to brave going up against GTA 6. Everyone seems to be expecting GTA 6 to hit the market with the size and force of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, and they're all trying to stay clear of the blast zone.
You'll be able to preorder the game at the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store and other online storefronts. I just hope all the preorder storefronts don't crash. (They definitely will.)

Grand Theft Auto 6 is stirring up a frenzy partly because of the huge time gap between now and the last mainline entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto 5. GTA 5 launched in September, 2013, meaning by the time Rockstar releases GTA 6, we'll have waited more than 13 years between games.
GTA 5 launched on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before being ported to the PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S -- basically two entire generations of consoles without another numbered entry in the franchise.
Hopefully we won't have to wait that long for whatever the next mainline Grand Theft Auto game is. I'd love to see a return to the 2000s when we got GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4 all in a seven-year span. Rockstar was cooking with gas that decade.
