Grand Theft Auto VI Philippines: Release Date, Price, Everything We Need to Know

[Last Updated: June 25, 2026]

2026 is a big year for the industry as Rockstar Games is set to launch the next title for the most successful franchise in video game history. Grand Theft Auto VI will launch in the Philippines with the rest of the world, so here's what you need to know before its release.

Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date

GTA 6 is officially scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There have been multiple delays since the game was announced. The last one was when the game targeted a May 2026 release, only to be pushed back to give the developers more time to polish and finalize the game.

Marketing is expected to go into full swing in Summer (June - August), which aligns perfectly with a November release, so it's very unlikely we will see any further delays at this point.

Grand Theft Auto VI Price

Analysts are expecting Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games to aim for an $80 price tag for a standard copy in both physical and digital forms. Also expect higher editions with bonuses and other goodies.

If converted straight to Philippine peso, that could put the price of GTA 6 at roughly PHP 4,700 at launch. Nothing is official yet, and it could be slightly cheaper, but I expect it to be around the PHP 4,000 mark.

Pre-order dates haven't been announced yet, but once pre-orders and prices are revealed, local stores like DataBlitz and GameOne will update with pre-order details for those looking to secure their copy on day one.

Update: Grand Theft Auto VI will cost $80 for a standard copy, $100 for the Ultimate Edition.

Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition

• The Ultimate edition will contain these bonuses:
  
  '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Paradise Garage: A Mud Club monster offering impressive off-road handling for the backwoods of Mount Kalaga and beyond, conveniently stored at a garage in Watson Bay, featuring a weapon locker to customize your loadout for any occasion plus a stash box to deposit stolen goods to be fenced.

What Platforms Will Grand Theft Auto VI Be On?

GTA 6 is launching first on consoles, which is PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version will not be available at launch, which is expected as previous Rockstar titles have always come out on consoles first before releasing on PC. GTA 5 released on PC over a year later, though there's a chance the wait could be much shorter for GTA VI, given how popular GTA V remains on PC today thanks to GTA Online.

The PS5 version has not been officially confirmed to have PS5 Pro enhancement features, but it’s very likely. This is something worth noting if you’re looking for the best possible experience, despite the PS5 price increase that recently took effect in Southeast Asia, as a 2TB PS5 Pro now costs PHP 56,950.

PlayStation and Nintendo have a dominant hold on local retailers in the Philippines. Local retailers do sell Xbox Series X and its games, but they are not always updated on the latest titles and don't stock up as much as they do for the PS5 and Switch 2. If you play on Xbox in the Philippines, I suggest contacting your local retailer once pre-orders go live to confirm if you can reserve an Xbox copy.

GTA 6 will not launch with PS4 or Xbox One versions. A Switch 2 release for GTA 6 was also not announced, though, there are reports of developers testing a Switch 2 version, but nothing is official.

When Can I Preorder GTA VI in the Philippines?

Rockstar Games announced that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI worldwide begins on June 25. Once Take-Two announces preorders, expect DataBlitz and other local stores to quickly react and update their websites and social media.

In the Philippines, reservation or preorder requirements usually require a downpayment of PHP 500. With the popularity and steep price of even a standard copy, I wouldn't be surprised if stores bump that up to PHP 1,000 due to demand.

Those who pre-order will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of items that “flash back to when the neon burned brightest”, according to the game’s official website.  

The Vintage Vice City Pack will contain:

• 55 Vapid Stanier and Shore Court Garage: Cruise Shore Drive in the legendary ’55 Vapid Stanier, a Vice City classic meant to be admired, and store it in a new personal garage just a stone’s throw from the glistening sands of Ocean Beach. Like all personal garages in Leonida, you’ll have a weapon locker to customize your loadout for any occasion plus a secure place to deposit stolen goods for the local Fence, who will accept most stolen goods at a reasonably discounted rate.

• Outfits and Hairstyles: Dress for excess with two Vice City luxury looks for both Jason and Lucia:

• Jason: An effortlessly chic linen suit in vintage pastel, complemented by the cut and coif of the decade of decadence.

• Lucia: The world is yours in a red sequin mini dress and curls.

• Exclusive Weapon Pattern: Channel the original Vice City kingpin, Tommy Vercetti, and his iconic palm tree button-up with a tropical pattern available to adorn most guns.

Digital Pre-order Bonus

Pre-ordering the digital version of the game will earn you a free month of GTA+. It’s not clear if its the GTA online version of GTA VI, which will not be available when the game launches this November.

Will GTA VI Have a Physical Edition?

Yes. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that both a physical and digital version of GTA 6 will be available at launch. Take-Two is also active in the Philippines, as they regularly run sales for titles like NBA 2K, a famous series in the country due to basketball being a famous sport here, so physical copies on day one here are very likely.

There will be an ultimate edition that will be available for the game.

It’s also confirmed that all physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI will not contain a playable disc in the box, as it will only contain a downloadable code for the game.

If I get the digital version, will I be able to pre-download the game?

Yup! If you pick up any of the game’s digital versions before release, you can start pre-loading the game starting November 12.

When Will GTA VI Come to PC?

No PC release date has been announced. Don't hold your breath, as previous Rockstar titles have taken over a year at the very least before arriving on PC.

Will There Be a GTA VI Bundle With PS5 or PS5 Pro?

There's a strong chance of a GTA 6 bundle for either the base PS5 or PS5 Pro, as Sony holds the marketing rights for GTA 6. A limited edition PS5 or DualSense controller will likely be announced before launch, or at the very least, a standard copy of the game bundled with the console.
