Pre-orders open at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. Here&#8217;s the full breakdown of editions, bonuses, regional pricing, and what to expect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed the price of Grand Theft Auto VI at $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. The announcement, made via an official press release on June 24, 2026, ends months of speculation and leaks. GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-orders going live at midnight local time on June 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does GTA 6 Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockstar Games is offering two editions at launch. Both are available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through digital storefronts and physical retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Edition<\/th><th>US Price<\/th><th>What&#8217;s Included<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Standard Edition<\/td><td>$79.99<\/td><td>Base game + pre-order bonus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ultimate Edition<\/td><td>$99.99<\/td><td>Base game + exclusive vehicles, weapons, outfits, mod shops, side missions, and more<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At $79.99, GTA 6 breaks the $69.99 pricing ceiling that has defined AAA games throughout the current console generation. As the BBC reported, this makes it one of the most expensive standard game launches in recent memory. Only Nintendo&#8217;s Mario Kart World had previously reached the $80 mark. Industry analysts believe this move could set a new pricing benchmark that other major publishers will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About UK and European Pricing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of the official announcement, Take-Two has confirmed only the US dollar price. Regional pricing in GBP and EUR has not been formally announced and is expected to be confirmed when pre-orders open on June 25. However, early retailer data and industry estimates provide useful guidance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>United Kingdom:<\/strong> TechRadar estimates \u00a379.99 for Standard and \u00a399.99 for Ultimate. The retailer Start Select has already listed the Standard Edition at approximately \u00a369.25 and the Premium Edition at \u00a386.56, though these may be provisional. Metro.co.uk reported that the Standard Edition &#8220;should cost \u00a375 in the UK.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Europe (EUR):<\/strong> A Portuguese FNAC listing leaked prices ranging from \u20ac89.99 to \u20ac199.99 across multiple editions. Start Select in the Netherlands listed the Standard Edition at \u20ac79.99. Spanish outlet Vandal estimated \u20ac89.99 for Standard and \u20ac109.99 for Ultimate based on typical European pricing patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final European and UK prices will be confirmed once pre-orders go live. Prices include VAT in Europe and the UK, which accounts for the higher figures compared to the pre-tax US price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s in the Pre-Order Bonus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone who purchases GTA 6 before November 20, 2026, whether through pre-order or early purchase, receives the Vintage Vice City Pack at no additional cost. This bonus pack leans into the neon-soaked 1980s atmosphere of the original Vice City and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&#8217;55 Vapid Stanier:<\/strong> A classic sedan with a personal garage near Ocean Beach, complete with a weapon locker and a stash box for stolen goods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Retro outfits and hairstyles:<\/strong> A pastel linen suit for Jason and a red sequin dress with curls for Lucia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tommy Vercetti weapon pattern:<\/strong> A tropical palm-tree motif gun skin paying tribute to the iconic Vice City protagonist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players who pre-order digitally through the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store also receive one free month of GTA+, which includes a recurring monthly deposit of GTA$500,000, a 15% bonus on Shark Cards, and access to discounted vehicles in GTA Online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: Full Content Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $99.99 Ultimate Edition is not a simple cosmetic bundle. Rockstar has designed the bonus content to unlock progressively as players advance through the story, threading rewards through each chapter of Jason and Lucia&#8217;s journey. Here is the complete list of Ultimate Edition content, as confirmed by Rockstar and detailed by IGN and GTA Base:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&#8217;95 Grotti Cheetah:<\/strong> A mid-90s sports car with a retro-futuristic livery, unlocked during later-stage action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8217;67 Vapid Dominator Buggy:<\/strong> An off-road monster stored at a garage in Watson Bay with a weapon locker and stash box<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest Kayak:<\/strong> Located at Jason&#8217;s safehouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shitzu Squalo:<\/strong> A gradient pink and blue watercraft stationed at Washington Beach, equipped with an explosives crate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weapons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hawk &amp; Little Morgan Revolvers:<\/strong> His-and-hers revolvers with palm-tree-carved handles inspired by the Vercetti Estate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personalized pistol variants:<\/strong> Engraved versions of Jason&#8217;s Girardi ES9 and Lucia&#8217;s Klose K17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusive Locations and Businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rideout Customs (Vice City):<\/strong> A vehicle mod shop offering donk styling, detailed interiors, and custom rims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One-Eyed Willie&#8217;s (Lake Leonida):<\/strong> An off-road vehicle specialist with hand-painted custom designs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sara&#8217;s Unisex Salon:<\/strong> Exclusive hairstyles, facial hair, makeup, and nail options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock 305 (Stockyard):<\/strong> An elevated streetwear clothing store<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electric Fang Tattoo:<\/strong> Over 50 exclusive tattoo designs created by the art collective FAILE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customisation and Missions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ganado Retro Build:<\/strong> An exclusive mod kit for Jason&#8217;s Vapid Ganado pickup with cab spoiler, rear aerials, and special livery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Goodtime Gear:<\/strong> An outfit and accessories collection inspired by the TV character Macca the Gator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store:<\/strong> A raid mission on a gang compound in Southside Vice City for contraband and unique items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Classic Car Collection:<\/strong> A multi-part commission from collector Wyman to find and restore abandoned classic cars (four vehicles exclusive to Ultimate Edition)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical Copies Won&#8217;t Include a Disc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a notable break from tradition, Rockstar has confirmed that physical copies of GTA 6 will contain only a download code inside the box, not a game disc. Physical copies will be available in stores from November 12, 2026, one week before the official launch, to give players time to pre-load a game expected to exceed 100 GB in file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Kotaku pointed out, this means dedicated fans buying both the physical and Ultimate editions would need to spend at least $160. The decision reflects the broader industry shift toward digital distribution, though it has drawn criticism from collectors and fans of physical media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Platforms Is GTA 6 Available On?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6 launches exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version. The PC release has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar, though Take-Two has acknowledged that a PC version will follow the console launch. Based on Rockstar&#8217;s historical pattern with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, the PC version is widely expected in late 2027, with some leakers suggesting a possible February 2027 window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 will focus on a single-player experience at launch. No new version of GTA Online has been announced yet; the existing GTA Online will continue to operate alongside the new game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the $80 Price Tag the New Standard?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6&#8217;s $79.99 base price represents a significant milestone for the industry. The $69.99 price point has been the default for AAA console games since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S generation launched in 2020. Some analysts had predicted GTA 6 could reach $100 for the standard edition, so the confirmed price landed below the worst-case expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, as Gameranx observed, &#8220;It seems the industry is now set to make $80 the standard price for a AAA game.&#8221; TechRadar noted that many developers reportedly hoped Rockstar would break the $70 barrier, and this move may give other publishers the confidence to follow. Whether this triggers a broader industry shift or remains limited to the biggest blockbusters will depend on how the market responds in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Players Are Asking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When exactly do pre-orders go live?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-orders open at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. This is a rolling launch, not a simultaneous global release, so availability depends on your time zone. Orders can be placed through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and select physical retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Ultimate Edition worth the extra $20?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For $20 more than the Standard Edition, the Ultimate Edition delivers six exclusive vehicles, two mod shops, unique weapons, three cosmetic locations (salon, tattoo parlour, clothing store), and two bonus side missions. Content unlocks progressively throughout the story rather than being dumped at the start, making it feel integrated into the gameplay rather than a bolt-on addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will there be a Collector&#8217;s Edition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockstar has announced only two editions so far: Standard and Ultimate. Earlier leaks from FNAC Portugal suggested up to five price tiers reaching \u20ac199.99, but these were identified as provisional placeholder listings. If a physical Collector&#8217;s Edition exists, it has not been officially revealed yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will GTA 6 be on Game Pass or PS Plus at launch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that GTA 6 will not be available on Game Pass at launch. There has been no indication of a day-one PlayStation Plus inclusion either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a GTA 6 PC pre-order?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not yet. Pre-orders are limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC pre-order date or price has been announced. PC gamers will likely need to wait until the PC version is formally confirmed, expected sometime in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to be the biggest game launch in history. With a confirmed release date of November 19, 2026, and pre-orders opening June 25, the countdown is on.
