German outlets report that the supermarket chain Edeka advertises GTA 6 in its weekly flyer, on shelves a week before the official release.

The German supermarket chain Edeka advertises GTA VI in its flyer for October 19–24, 2026, with boxed copies on shelves from November 12, a week before the official November 19 release, according to GameStar, GamePro and the Stuttgarter Zeitung. The reported price is €79.99 for the Standard Edition, and not every branch is expected to stock it.

Why a week early?

It is not a street-date break. Per Rockstar Support, the boxed game contains a download code instead of a disc, and pre-load opens on November 12 so players can download before launch. Stores therefore need the boxes a week ahead. Our physical edition guide explains how the code works.

Date What happens
Nov 12, 2026 Boxed copies (code) on sale; pre-load opens
Nov 19, 2026 Official launch; the game unlocks

What to know before you buy

  • Buying early gets you the pre-load, not early play.
  • Availability is branch-by-branch; the details above come from a single flyer and trade coverage.
  • Prices in euros are the retailer’s; Rockstar’s official US price is covered in our price and editions guide.
  • Beware of scams offering “early access”: see our release date guide for the only real dates.

FAQ

Can I play GTA 6 from November 12 if I buy it at Edeka?

No. A boxed copy only gives you a download code and early access to the pre-load. Gameplay unlocks on November 19, 2026.

Is this an official Rockstar sale date?

The November 12 date comes from the retailer’s flyer as reported by German media. It matches the November 12 date for boxed copies and pre-load in our physical edition guide.

Will every Edeka store sell GTA 6?

No. Outlets say only some branches will stock it, and Edeka24’s online pre-order has reportedly closed.

How much is GTA 6 in Germany?

The flyer reportedly lists the Standard Edition at €79.99.
