After years of anticipation, Rockstar Games has opened preorders for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), giving gamers in the UAE their first opportunity to secure a copy ahead of its November release.

Here’s everything you need to know…

GTA 6 price in the UAE

Rockstar has confirmed that the Standard Edition is priced around Dhs294 before any local retailer mark-ups.

Players looking for additional in-game content can opt for the Ultimate Edition, priced around Dhs367. This edition includes bonus vehicles, outfits, equipment and other exclusive digital extras.

Where can you preorder GTA 6?

Digital preorders are now available through the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for Xbox users.

If you’d rather own a physical copy, retailers including Virgin Megastore, Jumbo Electronics, Geekay and Amazon UAE are expected to begin offering boxed editions closer to launch.

When is GTA 6 released?

Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on Thursday, November 19, 2026.

It marks the first new mainline GTA title in more than a decade, following the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.

Players who preorder digitally will be able to preload the game from November 12, allowing them to install it ahead of launch day. However, Rockstar has confirmed that there will be no early access, meaning everyone will be able to start playing at the same time on release day.

Is there a preorder bonus?

Yes. Anyone who preorders GTA 6 before November 20 will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack.

The bonus pack includes a collection of cosmetic items inspired by the colourful, retro aesthetic of Vice City, paying tribute to one of the franchise’s most iconic settings.

What’s included in the Ultimate Edition?

Alongside additional cosmetic content, the Ultimate Edition unlocks access to a range of exclusive in-game locations and vendors.

Rockstar says these will include specialist shops for vehicle modifications, fashion, tattoos and personal styling, with more details expected to be revealed closer to launch.
