5 min read
Step-by-step guide to pre-ordering GTA 6 on the PlayStation Store and Xbox: official prices, the 11/20 bonus deadline, and where else to buy in Brazil.

This guide shows the practical step-by-step for pre-ordering GTA 6 on official digital storefronts, with already-confirmed prices: Standard Edition for $79.99 (R$ 449.90) and Ultimate Edition for $99.99 (R$ 549.90) in Brazil.
Step-by-step on the PlayStation Store
- Access the PlayStation Store via console, app, or browser.
- Search for "GTA 6" (or "Grand Theft Auto VI").
- Choose between Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition.
- Complete the purchase with the payment method linked to your PSN account.
- The game appears in your library immediately, reserved until pre-loading unlocks on November 12, 2026.
Step-by-step on the Xbox store
- Access the Microsoft Store via console, app, or browser.
- Search for "GTA 6" (or "Grand Theft Auto VI").
- Choose the edition you want.
- Complete the purchase with the payment method linked to your Microsoft account.
- As with PlayStation, the game stays reserved until pre-loading unlocks.
Other stores in Brazil
Besides the official digital storefronts for each console, GTA 6's physical version can also be pre-ordered from retailers like Amazon, Kabum, and Nuuvem, at the same price as the digital version. Important: physical boxes sold in Brazil don't come with a disc — just a download code, a Rockstar measure against leaks.
Dates to watch
- November 12, 2026 — digital pre-loading unlocks.
- November 19, 2026 — official launch.
- November 20, 2026 — final deadline for digital pre-orders to secure the Vintage Vice City Pack.
What to check before buying
- Enough free storage space on your console.
- Whether your registered payment method is valid.
- Whether you're choosing the correct edition — there's no confirmation of an easy edition swap after purchase (though there is a paid upgrade from Standard to Ultimate after launch).
Frequently asked questions
Is pre-registration different from pre-ordering? In practice, for GTA 6, both terms refer to the same action: reserving/buying the game before launch through the digital store.
Do I have to pay the full amount on pre-order? Yes, digital storefronts charge the full amount at the time of purchase.
Do I get anything extra by buying the physical version? Yes — in Brazil, physical-version buyers get one free month of GTA+ as an added bonus, according to what's been announced.
