After weeks of anticipation, Xbox gamers can finally add Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) to their wishlists on Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games has officially made the store page live for the upcoming open-world blockbuster. This comes nearly two months after the game became available for wishlisting on the PlayStation 5, just hours after the release of GTA 6 Trailer 2.
While it took seven weeks longer for Xbox users to gain this feature, it's now available—bringing relief to fans who’ve been eagerly waiting for any new GTA 6 development.
Wishlist Now Live on Xbox
The GTA 6 store page is now accessible on the Xbox Store, allowing users to add the game to their wishlists. Although the “Purchase” button is currently greyed out and marked as “Not Currently Available,” the Wishlist button works without any issues. By pressing it, you can instantly add the game to your wishlist and stay updated on any future announcements, including pre-order availability.
This small but exciting update gives Xbox users a sense of progress, even though the game is still many months away from release.
Placeholder File Available for Download (328.76MB)
In addition to the wishlist feature, Xbox players can now download a placeholder file for GTA 6. The file is listed at 328.76MB, a typical size used for preload placeholders in the Xbox system. This is not the full game—it’s simply a placeholder that will be replaced with the actual game data once pre-loading begins closer to the launch date.
You can install the file now by visiting the game’s listing on the Xbox app and initiating the download to your linked Xbox console. Once installed, it will appear on your home screen or library, serving as a visual reminder of the upcoming release.

What Happens If You Try to Launch It?
This confirms that the game cannot be accessed until its official release date. According to previous reports, GTA 6 is expected to be playable from May 26, 2025, though no specific launch time has been listed on the Xbox Store. Over on the PlayStation Store, the title is scheduled to go live at 12 AM BST.
Pre-Orders Not Yet Available
Despite having a confirmed release window, pre-orders are not yet open for GTA 6 on either Xbox or PlayStation. This delay is likely a strategic decision by Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games, who may be planning a major marketing push—possibly including a third trailer—before enabling pre-orders.
With roughly a year still to go before launch, Rockstar seems to be pacing its promotional efforts carefully. Fans can expect pre-orders to open closer to the end of the year or early 2025, depending on how the next phase of the campaign unfolds.
What to Expect Next
As hype continues to build, fans are digging into every detail they can find. Recent rumors even suggest that rapper Drake may feature in the game, possibly hosting an in-game radio station where he shares exclusive unreleased music. While Rockstar has yet to confirm this, speculation around the game's cast, soundtrack, and story continues to dominate gaming news headlines.
Conclusion
Though the full release of GTA 6 is still several months away, the ability to wishlist and install the placeholder file on Xbox marks a meaningful milestone for fans. It’s a signal that Rockstar is gradually ramping up preparations and that more exciting announcements—like pre-orders and additional trailers—are on the horizon. As the countdown to launch continues, players across the world remain eager for any glimpse into the next chapter of the GTA saga.
