✅Xbox Users Can Finally Wishlist GTA 6
After weeks of waiting, Xbox players can finally wishlist Grand Theft Auto VI on the Microsoft Store. This update comes well after PlayStation 5 users were given early access to wishlist the game following the second trailer reveal.
Rockstar Games hasn’t commented on the delay, but speculation is swirling online about why PlayStation was prioritized—and what this could mean for release day perks.
PS5 Got Early Access – A Sign of Timed Exclusivity?
PlayStation users were allowed to wishlist GTA 6 as early as May 19, 2025, right after the Trailer 2 drop. Meanwhile, the Xbox listing remained unavailable or inactive until the last week of June, causing frustration among Xbox fans.
This delay led to speculation across Reddit and X:
“Rockstar is going full Sony-first again like they did with GTA Online bonuses.”
– u/LosSantosIsReal, r/GTA6
“Why is Xbox always last? Pre-orders and wishlists should be platform-neutral.”
– @LucianVice, Twitter
Some gamers are concerned that PS5 may receive early access content, special editions, or timed DLC advantages, although Rockstar has yet to confirm any such deal.
🔍 What Does Wishlisting Do?
Wishlisting GTA 6 on your console:
- Notifies you when pre-orders go live
- Adds you to Rockstar’s marketing funnel
- May unlock early content or alerts
Currently, both Xbox Series X|S and PS5 players can wishlist the game. There is no listing yet for PC, supporting earlier theories that the PC release may trail behind consoles by 1–2 years.
Edition Listings Still Missing
As of now, neither storefront has revealed which editions will be available—Standard, Deluxe, or Collector’s. However, leaks suggest Rockstar may offer:
- 💰 Standard Edition (~$69.99 USD)
- 🚀 Deluxe Edition (early access + online cash)
- 🧳 Collector’s Edition (with exclusive physical items)
Stay tuned for Rockstar’s official announcement expected in late Q3 2025.
🗣️ What Fans Are Saying
“We just want release parity.”
– r/XboxSeriesX thread, June 24
“Hope this isn’t like Red Dead 2 where we waited months for pre-orders.”
– @GTAVINewsWatch, Twitter
The community is clearly watching closely. Many hope this staggered listing isn’t a sign of deeper exclusivity arrangements with PlayStation.
Final Thoughts
The ability to wishlist GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S is a great sign—but the delay behind PS5 raises important questions. Rockstar and Microsoft haven’t offered explanations, but it’s clear players on both sides of the console war are paying attention.
For now, wishlisting ensures you’ll be first in line for news, editions, and official pre-orders.
