Grand Theft Auto 6 has gotten a nice surprise update today. Sadly, it’s not Trailer 3 that fans have been clamoring for, but it is some exciting info. In addition to a pre-orders announcement from Rockstar, the cover for GTA 6 has finally been revealed.
As revealed over on X, a new (but short) trailer has announced that pre-orders will begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and “select retrailers“. Additionally, the cover for GTA 6 is shown off. The cover can be viewed over on the official website for Grand Theft Auto 6, but you can also view the whole thing below:
It’s been an interesting month for GTA 6 and Grand Theft Auto fans. We had previously heard that promotion for the highly-anticipated game wouldn’t start until summer, with a target of June 2026 floating around online. Thus far, it’d been a quiet month, but that’s all about to change now that pre-orders are about to begin, and we have the official cover.
The cover itself is in the typical collage style we’ve come to know and love from GTA games. While protagonists Lucia and Jason are still prominently featured, we get to see various other characters as well. We also see the kinds of shots you’d expect from Leonida and Vice City: a flamingo flying over a boat, an alligator, and an amphibious helicopter with pontoons. You can check out the official cover art image from Rockstar right here:
Meanwhile, fans are still waiting for Trailer 3 to drop. There’s been a lot of rumors Trailer 3 will arrive on June 23, which seems possible considering that’s two days before pre-orders go live. Right now, nothing has been officially confirmed by Rockstar, so it’s best to take that with a grain of salt.
Honestly, a cover reveal and pre-orders announcement is a great way to kickstart the promotion for GTA 6 ahead of its November release date. A third trailer for later in the summer makes perfect sense, and it also hopefully means we’ll be getting to see more gameplay soon. In the meantime, fans will probably want to keep tabs on Rockstar’s socials and stay up to date with the official website for Grand Theft Auto 6. Things are finally happening again, and we’re only five months away from the game’s release now.
