At long last, more than two and a half years after Rockstar Games unveiled the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, GTA 6 pre-orders are finally live in the UK. Millions of fans have rushed to secure a copy of one of the most anticipated games ever made, with Amazon in the US selling out within hours of it going live. There are two editions of the game – a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition, with the latter only available to pre-order at the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Third-party retailers, including Amazon, Argos, Game and Very have the Standard Edition available to pre-order. We'll be bringing you all the latest news, retailer updates and stock availability as it happens, plus everything you need to know about the different editions and pricing. Many fans are waiting (impatiently) for the launch of the third trailer, which has yet to materialise.

I’ll be watching out for any whiff of a third trailer.I’ve just had a comb back through the release strategy for GTA 5, and it seems that, while pre-orders opened on 5 November 2012, a second trailer didn’t launch until 9 days later on 14 November. So maybe the third trailer will drop next week? Alex Lee25 June 2026 15:20Are there any GTA 6 pre-order discounts?Whilst we await the third trailer, are there any deals on GTA 6 yet? Not currently, but I’m hoping we get some discounts on the game the closer we move towards release day.You can save a few pence by pre-ordering at ShopTo – the retailer is selling the game for £69.85, but it’s not a massive saving. Alex Lee25 June 2026 15:05Rockstar Games has made an announcement But it’s not the trailer. Just after 2pm, Rockstar Games announced that GTA 6 was now available to pre-order. Thanks, Rockstar.Alex Lee25 June 2026 14:20Could the GTA 6 trailer 3 still drop today?Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but opening pre-orders without a third trailer seems like a wild decision. I still have my fingers crossed for a new GTA 6 trailer to drop at 3pm today (that’s an hour from now).Interestingly, YouTube itself may have teased a third trailer release today. Earlier this week, YouTube's official account commented “consider us busy june 25th”, underneath Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer, prompting speculation that a third trailer could arrive on the same day pre-orders went live. I’m keeping my eyes peeled.Alex Lee25 June 2026 14:00Physical copies of GTA 6 a disc could be coming after all A games insider at Polish site PPE has claimed that a physical version of Grand Theft Auto 6 with a disc will be coming later this year.The insider claims the code-in-a-box edition is only the first production run, created to avoid leaks. According to the publication, disc versions for both PS5 and Xbox Series X will begin shipping in December, once the initial stock sells out. The insider previously leaked the release dates of physical editions for Oblivion Remastered, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on Switch 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS5. This is just a rumour now, so take it with a pinch of salt.Alex Lee25 June 2026 13:30There are even more bonuses for pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition As well as the Vintage Vice City Pack, you'll also receive a free month of GTA+. The subscription includes a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit for GTA Online, exclusive discounts on vehicles, access to a rotating library of Rockstar Games titles and bonus in-game cash if you buy Shark Cards, Rockstar's optional microtransactions for GTA Online.The free month can be redeemed immediately after pre-ordering, but Rockstar says the subscription will automatically renew at the standard monthly rate unless you cancel it.Pre-order now on PS5Pre-order now on Xbox Alex Lee25 June 2026 13:00Sony says GTA 6 will play best on PS5 In a new blog post, Sony said GTA 6 would “play best on PS5”. According to the company, this is because of features like the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, the controller's built-in speaker and the console's ultra-fast SSD for near-instant loading.“Thanks to the close partnership between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto VI will play best on PS5 by taking advantage of PS5’s immersive features to deliver a deeply engaging single-player experience when it launches on 19 November,” the company wrote in a blog post.But that doesn't necessarily mean the PS5 version will outperform the Xbox Series X. Sony didn’t mention frame rates, resolution or any exclusive graphical features.And while the PlayStation Store lists GTA 6 as “PS5 Pro Enhanced”, neither Sony nor Rockstar has explained what those enhancements actually are. Alex Lee25 June 2026 12:30Game and Studio have now listed GTA 6 Two more retailers have set pre-orders live for GTA 6. Ultra-late to the party is high street stalwart Game, who now has the Standard Edition available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as independent games retailer Studio.Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any discounts on the game at either retailer. You’ll still pay £69.99 for the Standard Edition. Pre-order now at GamePre-order now at Studio Alex Lee25 June 2026 12:00Fans aren't happy that GTA 6 only comes with a download code It's fair to say fans aren't particularly happy that the physical edition of GTA 6 won't actually come with a disc – just a download code inside the box.Rockstar has yet to comment on why it’s taken the decision – I previously speculated (08.13am) that it could be due to the file size being too big for a Blu-ray disc. Alex Lee25 June 2026 11:40Will GTA 6 be cross-play compatible?One question Rockstar still hasn't answered is whether GTA 6 will support cross-play. That’s probably because – for now, at least – it’s totally irrelevant. The developer has confirmed that the game will launche as a single-player experience only on 19 November, with no GTA Online mode available on day one.Will there be cross-play when GTA Online launches? It would be a first. GTA 5 has no cross-play support, and nor does Red Dead Online. I know plenty of Xbox players would love to play online with their PS5-owning friends and vice versa, so I lie in wait. Alex Lee25 June 2026 11:25
