In a surprising twist, after rumors floated that pre-orders for GTA 6 would open on May 18, the Italian retailer Showgame is taking the lead. The online store lists GTA VI for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at €69.90 each, a price that stands out by being cheaper than many current blockbusters that now run at €79.99 on consoles.
Pre-order status and early availability
Currently, GTA 6 isn't yet up for pre-order on platforms like the PlayStation Store, but the fact that a retailer has it available signals that other shops might follow soon. It seems Showgame may have read the timing differently from Take-Two, as pre-orders are expected to start under a new schedule. If you place a pre-order today, deliveries are anticipated for November 19, 2026, a date that Take-Two's CEO recently reaffirmed, suggesting no further delays are planned.
Background and game setting
Grand Theft Auto VI marks the return of a mainline entry after GTA 5, which launched back in 2013. The setting centers on Vice City, a fictional stand-in for Miami, while also branching out to diverse landscapes outside the city. This installment introduces a female lead, Lucia Caminos, who shares the spotlight with her partner Jason Duval as the main protagonists.
