On a Thursday in mid-June, Rockstar Games offered the public a first glimpse of how its long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI will present itself: a cover in the series' familiar block-letter style, bearing the faces of Lucia and Jason against the sunlit palms of Vice City. Along with the image came a date, June 25, when pre-orders will open. In a moment when so much waiting has built up around a single game, the picture and the calendar offer a measure of promise, while the question of what the game will cost remains, for now, unanswered.
Rockstar Reveals 'Grand Theft Auto VI' Cover Art, Sets June 25 Pre-Order Date
The one thing buyers most want to know is still missing.
Mark
So what actually happened Thursday?
Mimi
Rockstar showed the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto VI and said pre-orders start June 25, on digital storefronts and select retailers.
Mark
What's on the cover?
Mimi
Lucia and Jason at the top, in the block style earlier covers used. Palm trees, a gator, a boat and other characters fill in the Vice City setting.
Luke
Before we get excited, what's missing?
Mimi
The price. The reporting says it's unclear what the game will cost when pre-orders open.
Luke
And "select retailers" tells us what, exactly?
Mimi
Not much. Only digital storefronts are named as a category, and no specific stores are listed.
Mark
Why does this one draw so much attention?
Mimi
Grand Theft Auto V came out in 2013 and has sold over 200 million copies, with years of updates through Grand Theft Auto Online.
Luke
The "most anticipated of all time" line is worth a caution. That's the article's characterization, not a measured figure.
Mark
Fair. And the platforms?
Mimi
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, per the report.
Luke
Notably, no release date appears in this piece. Only the pre-order date is confirmed.

On Thursday, June 18, Rockstar Games released the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto VI and set a date for the next step. Pre-orders will open June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers. The company shared the news on Instagram with a short video showing off the cover, though it did not name the retailers beyond the digital stores.
The cover keeps the block-style layout that has marked earlier entries. Lucia and Jason stand at the top, and around them the art brings in the game's Vice City setting, modeled on Miami. Palm trees, a gator, and a boat fill the frame, along with other characters.
The one thing buyers most want to know is still missing. No price has been given, so anyone planning to pre-order on June 25 will have to wait for that number to appear.
The game is slated for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the story follows Lucia and Jason as they take up a life of crime together. Much of the excitement comes from how long the series has been quiet. Grand Theft Auto V, the last mainline entry, arrived in 2013, sold more than 200 million copies, and has kept receiving updates through its online mode.
For now, the cover and the date are set. What comes next is June 25, when pre-orders open and the price should finally be known.
On Thursday, June 18, Rockstar Games put out the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto VI and named a date for the next step: pre-orders will open on June 25. The company shared the news on Instagram, pairing the announcement with a short video that shows off the cover.
In that post, Rockstar said pre-orders will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers. The wording leaves the retailer list open. It names no specific stores beyond digital storefronts.
The cover keeps the block-style layout that has marked earlier Grand Theft Auto covers. At the top are the two lead characters, Lucia and Jason. Around them, the art draws on the game's Vice City setting, which is modeled on Miami. Palm trees appear, along with a gator and a boat, and other characters share the frame.
The one thing buyers will most want to know is still missing. It remains unclear how much the game will cost when pre-orders open on June 25. Rockstar's announcement, as reported, gave a date and a picture but no price.
The game is slated for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The story follows Lucia and Jason as they take up a life of crime together in Vice City. It is described as one of the most anticipated games of the year, and perhaps of all time.
Part of that anticipation comes from how long the series has been quiet. The most recent mainline entry, Grand Theft Auto V, came out in 2013. It has sold more than 200 million copies and kept receiving updates over the years through its Grand Theft Auto Online mode. It has also been ported to newer consoles, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
With the cover shown and the date set, the next thing to watch is June 25, when pre-orders open and the price should finally become clear.
