With less than two weeks remaining until the November 12 pre-load window opens, players have two main ways to lock in their copy on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Below is the complete, fact-checked breakdown of what Rockstar Games has officially confirmed—and what you need to know before buying a boxed copy.

How the ’55 Vapid Stanier & Shore Court Garage Pre-Order Bonuses Work
According to Rockstar’s official store terms, players who pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI unlock two valuable day-one head starts inside Vice City:
- The ’55 Vapid Stanier: A vintage, classic-era American cruiser styled after the iconic Cuban and Miami Beach heritage cars seen cruising Ocean Drive.
- Shore Court Garage (Vice City): A dedicated residential vehicle storage garage located in Vice City (pinned right now on our Interactive State of Leonida Map). Because vehicle trunks act as your mobile weapon and gear stash in GTA 6, owning an extra Vice City garage early gives you a huge tactical advantage.
Note from Rockstar’s store fine print: Both the ’55 Vapid Stanier and the Shore Court Garage can also be acquired later through normal in-game progression if you miss the pre-order window.
