Grand Theft Auto VI preorder date confirmed for June 25 ahead of November release

Rockstar has finally announced its preorder dates for the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto (GTA) VI in a post on X on Thursday (June 18).

The post, which was made just after 9pm, has since garnered 6.6 million views and over 159,000 likes in less than an hour.

"Pre-orders for GTA VI will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers," the now-viral post simply reads.

Alongside the post is the official cover art reveal for GTA VI in the form of a 33-second clip.

Notably, the cover art features a bike in the top right and helicopter on the top left — a throwback to older GTA games that also sport similar vehicles in their cover art.
