GTA 6 Preorders Set for June 25 as Rockstar Shows Off New Vice City Shot

Rockstar Games has announced that preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 open June 25, though key details like pricing remain unannounced. The announcement arrived alongside a fresh piece of artwork on the game's official website, offering another glimpse of Vice City before launch. The newly added image gives players a closer look at a specific slice of the map, hinting at the geography and activities awaiting them when GTA 6 arrives.

A Nighttime Look at the Port

The artwork depicts Vice City at night, centered on a waterfront where boats move through the harbor. A ferris wheel visible in the distance hints at what could be Rockstar's take on the port of Miami, an impression reinforced by the dockyard and stacked shipping containers also present in the scene. Overhead, several planes and helicopters can be seen flying above the water, adding to the sense of a busy, layered cityscape.

More Details in the Extended Version

Visitors to the GTA 6 website can find a wider version of the same image that extends beyond what's shown in the initial reveal. That fuller shot includes a lit tennis court with people playing, as well as a tall apartment building that appears to still be under construction, suggesting an evolving skyline within the game's version of the city.

Just a Fraction of the Map

Rockstar has been clear that this waterfront scene represents only a small portion of what players will be able to explore. Vice City sits within the larger region of Leonida, the game's fictional analogue for Florida, and the developer has not detailed exactly how much of that broader area will be accessible once the game launches.

Preorder Timing, Not Pricing

While the June 25 date has now been locked in, Rockstar has not said what time preorders will go live or how much the game will cost. The date applies specifically to digital preorders and to preorders placed at retailers the company has described only as "select," leaving open the question of which physical retailers will participate and whether that list will expand closer to launch. With a preorder date now confirmed, Rockstar has given fans a concrete milestone to track ahead of GTA 6's release, even as pricing and broader map details remain unconfirmed. The new Vice City artwork offers another small piece of the puzzle, but with Leonida's full scope still under wraps, much of what players will encounter remains to be revealed.
