GTA VI pre‑orders start June 25, launch Nov 19 at estimated $80 price

Rockstar Games announced that pre‑sales for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, with the game set to launch on November 19 after two delays. The title, a return to a Vice City‑style setting and featuring the franchise’s first playable female protagonist, is expected to carry a base price of $80, based on recent comments from Take‑Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick and industry analysts, though the official price has not been disclosed. Pre‑orders will be available across digital platforms and at select retailers.

For Nigerian gamers, this marks one of the biggest entertainment releases in years, with potential costs running into hundreds of thousands of naira once conversion and any local taxes or platform fees are added. The franchise’s long‑standing reputation for violent and sexual content continues to draw criticism from activists, while fans praise its open‑world gameplay and cultural impact.

If you plan to purchase, note that Rockstar has not confirmed the final price, so budgeting for a possible higher cost is wise. Pre‑orders open June 25; you can buy via official digital stores or authorized retailers. Will you pre‑order at the estimated $80, wait for reviews and a confirmed price, or pass due to cost or concerns about the game’s content?
