Xbox Store Opens Grand Theft Auto VI Pre‑Orders, Lists Nov. 19, 2026 Release

Microsoft’s Xbox store now has live pre-orders for “Grand Theft Auto VI,” and the U.S. English listing shows a release date of Nov. 19, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S. The listing is one of the clearest consumer-facing confirmations yet that the pre-order rollout has begun and that Rockstar Games’ long-awaited title is set for a November launch.

The store update lines up with Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar’s June 24 press release, which said pre-orders would begin “Starting at Midnight Local Time on June 25, 2026.” The same release said the game is “Launching November 19, 2026” for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Take-Two also confirmed pricing: the standard edition costs $79.99, while “Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition” costs $99.99.

On Xbox, the store listing shows both the base game and an Ultimate Edition. Take-Two said all pre-orders and purchases made before Nov. 20, 2026, include the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital pre-orders also include one free month of GTA+, the subscription service tied to the franchise’s online offerings. The Xbox product text similarly tells buyers, “Purchase prior to November 20 to receive: -The Vintage Vice City Pack -One Month of GTA+.”

Rockstar’s Newswire has also been updated to direct players to pre-order pages on digital storefronts and select retailers. For now, the launch materials name only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version is listed for launch in either Take-Two’s press release or the Xbox store materials.

That release timing matters because Rockstar had previously set the game for May 26, 2026, before delaying it again to Nov. 19, 2026, according to Rockstar Newswire updates. For readers who have been tracking the shifting schedule, the Xbox listing provides a practical store-level confirmation that the current date is now locked into platform storefronts. Take-Two has said the broader “Grand Theft Auto” series has sold in more than 470 million units worldwide, underscoring the scale of the launch.
