Take-Two Interactive's highly awaited "Grand Theft Auto VI" will become available to pre-order on ​Jun 25, the game's developers said ‌on Thursday, likely sealing its Nov 19 launch after multiple delays.

"GTA VI" is expected to be the world's ​largest videogame launch, bringing in billions ​of dollars in sales within days of ⁠release due to the franchise's heft ​and strong track record of its creator Rockstar Games.

Here ​are some more details:

  • Shares of Take-Two rose around 4 percent in morning trading.

  • With pre-orders beginning next week, gamers ​will be at ease after having waited ​for over 13 years and experienced leaks and two ‌delays ⁠for the next instalment in the best-selling franchise.

  • Expectations for "GTA VI" are extremely high, largely due to the blowout success of its ​predecessor, "GTA V", ​which is ⁠one of the best-selling games of all time with nearly ​230 million units sold.

  • The "GTA" series is ​a ⁠sandbox game, giving players freedom to explore the environments, buy weapons, and flashy clothing and ⁠vehicles.

  • Take-Two ​previously said launch marketing ​for "GTA VI" is expected to begin this summer.
