How to wishlist GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S before its release

Grand Theft Auto fans can now wishlist GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The highly anticipated Rockstar Games title is scheduled for release early next year (2026), but is already available for wishlisting on the two current-gen consoles it will be arriving on. It is worth noting that PlayStation users have been allowed to do this for quite some time, but those on Xbox have only been provided the option recently.

The procedure is straightforward, and even new users of these consoles shouldn't face much trouble. That said, for anyone requiring assistance, here is a quick guide on how to wishlist GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S before its release.

However, the title has been made available to wishlist on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as mentioned in the intro. This option was available for the former console shortly after the game's second trailer came out in May 2025. The latter got the option some hours prior to this writing.
