GTA 6: Rockstar announces pre-orders in Brazil starting June 25; see details
Published on · Updated on
Rockstar confirms GTA 6 pre-orders open in Brazil on June 25. Price, release date and details of the year's most awaited game.
Rockstar Games confirmed, this Thursday (June 18, 2026), that pre-orders for GTA 6 will be available in Brazil starting June 25. The news, long awaited by millions of fans of the franchise, marks another concrete step toward the launch of what is considered one of the most anticipated games in video game history.
The open-world title is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. So far, Rockstar has not announced a PC version, which keeps part of the gaming community waiting for possible future announcements.
The confirmation of pre-orders in Brazil comes at a time of great excitement around the game. Since the reveal of the first official trailer, every new detail about GTA 6 has generated massive buzz on social media and across the leading gaming outlets in the country and around the world. Rockstar, known for its marketing strategy shrouded in mystery, chose to open pre-orders almost five months ahead of launch day.
However, one crucial point remains without an official answer: the price. As of the closing of this article, the developer had not revealed how much the title will cost in Brazil, in either physical or digital versions. The absence of a set price fuels debate and speculation among consumers and industry analysts.
Rumors of a US$100 price tag denied by the Take-Two CEO
In recent weeks, rumors circulated that GTA 6 could cost US$100, which would represent a significant jump over the standard practiced in the market. The speculation alarmed players, especially in markets like Brazil, where the high exchange rate already drives up the price of imported titles.
However, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, had already addressed the topic, directly denying the possibility of such a high price. In his public statements, Zelnick said the company's mission is to charge "very, very, very much less than the real value of the game," a remark that suggests a more conservative stance on pricing.
Zelnick also stressed that, even amid global inflation, high-budget games have not seen sharp price hikes over the past decade. According to him, the average price range has stayed between US$60 and US$70, a level Take-Two seems intent on respecting, even for a title on the scale of GTA 6.
Rockstar bets on delivered value as price justification
Take-Two's stance on GTA 6 pricing goes beyond numbers. Zelnick has publicly stressed that the company does not seek to blindly follow market trends, but rather to ensure the price charged matches the experience delivered to the player.
"We seek to create something amazing and ensure the price is fair for what is delivered," the executive said. This philosophy suggests Rockstar intends to justify the consumer's investment through the scale and depth of the content offered, a strategy consistent with the track record of previous franchise productions such as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
In the Brazilian context, this discussion takes on added relevance. With the dollar fluctuating at high levels, directly converting the dollar price into reais could result in a significant price for local consumers. Setting the price in the national currency is therefore one of the points most awaited by Brazilian fans.
Vice City returns as the main setting of GTA 6
GTA 6 is set in a vast open world inspired by Florida, United States, with the main setting being Vice City, a fictional version of Miami that marked the franchise's history. Vice City first appeared in the Grand Theft Auto universe and later took center stage in the standalone title GTA Vice City, released in 2002, which became a video game classic.
Choosing this setting reinforces Rockstar's strategy of exploring environments that already hold an emotional connection with the series' fan base. The fictional Florida promises to be the largest and most detailed map ever created by the developer, with varied biomes, interconnected cities and an atmosphere blending the exotic with the dangerous.
Pair of protagonists brings a new narrative dynamic
One of the main new features of GTA 6 is the presence of two playable protagonists: Lucia and Jason. The duo starred in the game's launch trailer and gameplay will alternate between the two characters at different points in the story.
This protagonist-switching mechanic is not entirely new to the franchise, GTA V already let players switch among three characters, but the approach in GTA 6 seems to place greater emphasis on the dynamic between the two characters, suggesting a more cohesive narrative centered on the relationship between Lucia and Jason.
What is known so far about the GTA 6 launch
With pre-orders approaching and the launch set for November 19, 2026, the GTA 6 calendar remains full of relevant dates for fans. Rockstar has already released official trailers with previously unseen scenes and revealed details about the game's characters, keeping the community engaged with gradual content releases.
The lack of confirmation of a PC version remains a recurring theme in discussions about the title. Historically, Rockstar usually releases computer versions a few months after the console debut, but no official time frame has been given for GTA 6.
For Brazilian players, the next milestone will be June 25, when pre-orders become available in the country. Until then, anticipation for additional details, especially the price in reais, should continue to dominate conversations on social media and gaming forums.
