GTA 6 Price, Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses: Full Breakdown

GTA 6 price at a glance

Grand Theft Auto VI costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. If you buy Standard and change your mind later, you can upgrade to Ultimate at any time for a $20 add-on.

The game launches November 19. Digital pre-orders can pre-load from November 12. That leaves three weeks to pre-order and secure the bonus pack.

The US price is the same on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to one report, those two consoles are the only launch platformsReported11. scotsman.com — Grand Theft Auto VI prices confirmed - here's how much it will cost to pre-order GTA 6 in the UK.

Only two editions: no deluxe tier, no collector's edition

One report states that Rockstar has confirmed two launch editionsReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?. The same coverage adds that there is no middle tier, deluxe bundle or early-access perkReported16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses. Several outlets report flatly that there is no collector's editionReported8. opencritic.com — GTA 6 Pre-Order Guide: Price, Bonuses, And Everything Else You Need To Know16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses. Rockstar also hasn't suggested one will arrive laterReported3.

Neither edition lets you play before November 19, according to coverage of the edition detailsReported7. dexerto.com — GTA 6 price confirmed as Ultimate Edition & pre-order bonuses revealed15. insider-gaming.com — All GTA 6 Editions, Prices, Content Included & Pre-Order Bonuses. Everyone starts on launch day.

Why $80 matters

The Standard price is $10 above the $69.99 that most current-generation AAA games have chargedReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?14. mp1st.com — GTA 6 Pre-load, Pre-order Bonuses, Mountain of New Screenshots Revealed, Standard Edition Costs $80. One outlet notes that GTA VI is only the second game to cost $80, after Mario Kart WorldReported8. opencritic.com — GTA 6 Pre-Order Guide: Price, Bonuses, And Everything Else You Need To Know. Before Rockstar revealed the pricing, some people speculated the game could cost $100Reported7. dexerto.com — GTA 6 price confirmed as Ultimate Edition & pre-order bonuses revealed8. opencritic.com — GTA 6 Pre-Order Guide: Price, Bonuses, And Everything Else You Need To Know. In the end, $100 is the Ultimate Edition price rather than the base price.

Regional prices and retailers

Rockstar's official prices are listed in US dollars. The regional figures below come from retailer listings reported by single outlets, so check the store before you buy:

JB Hi-Fi lists the Standard Edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X at A$129.00Reported9. manofmany.com — Grand Theft Auto VI Pre-Order Pricing, Bonuses, and “Code in a Box” Release Revealed. Amazon AU offers physical pre-orders with home deliveryReported9. manofmany.com — Grand Theft Auto VI Pre-Order Pricing, Bonuses, and “Code in a Box” Release Revealed.
• UK: You can pre-order through the PlayStation and Xbox stores, Amazon and Game, according to one reportReported11. scotsman.com — Grand Theft Auto VI prices confirmed - here's how much it will cost to pre-order GTA 6 in the UK.

One source also reports that pre-orders are available worldwideReported3. SubscribeForTacos — GTA 6 Pre-Order: Is the $100 Edition Actually Worth It?.

Pre-order bonuses

Every pre-order placed before launch includes the Vintage Vice City Pack. That applies to the Standard Edition tooReported15. insider-gaming.com — All GTA 6 Editions, Prices, Content Included & Pre-Order Bonuses. Pre-ordering also gives you one free month of GTA+.

Vintage Vice City Pack contents

Rockstar's description of Shore Court, carried by one source, mentions a weapon locker and a secure fence spot for selling stolen goods. Fences, where you deposit stolen goods, are a confirmed GTA VI mechanic. One report claims every garage in Leonida has a weapon locker and a stolen-goods dropReported12. gameranx — GTA 6 Price & Ultimate Edition REVEALED. If that holds, Shore Court's appeal is mainly its location rather than unique features.

The free GTA+ month: read the fine print

The GTA+ membership renews monthly at the regular price after the free month unless you cancel it. Its listed perks all apply to GTA Online: a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit, a 15% bonus on Shark Cards and discounted vehicles. GTA VI itself launches as a single-player experience.

Our take: The free month is only useful if you still play GTA Online. Otherwise, set a reminder to cancel it.

Everything in the Ultimate Edition

The Ultimate Edition contains the base game plus exclusive vehicles, weapons, apparel and missions. Rockstar says this content unlocks gradually as you progress through the story rather than all at onceReported13. Poor Lester — Is GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Actually Worth It?. One report says the missions, progression and mechanics are otherwise identical to the Standard EditionReported16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses.

Vehicles

• 1995 Grotti Cheetah sports car
• '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, stored at Paradise Garage in Watson Bay
• Shitzu Squalo boat, docked at Washington Beach
• Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest kayak at Jason's safehouse
• Retro mod kit for the Vapid Ganado, Jason's personal vehicle

One report places the Enduro, kayak and Ganado at Jason's oceanfront stilt houseReported3. SubscribeForTacos — GTA 6 Pre-Order: Is the $100 Edition Actually Worth It?. One outlet also lists Paradise Garage itself as part of the Ultimate packageReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?.

Weapons

• Hawk and Little Morgan custom scoped revolvers
• Custom variants of the Girardi ES9 and Klose K17 handguns

Exclusive shops

The Ultimate Edition gives exclusive access to five stores:

Rockstar's materials spell the off-road shop both "One-Eyed Willy's" and "One-Eyed Willie's". According to one report, all five are single-player locations, not GTA Online contentReported16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses.

Missions and side content

• Raid on the PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store gang compound
• Wyman's World Auto Salvage yard for restoring classic vehicles

One report describes the Wyman content as a mission line in which you restore classic cars for an eccentric collectorReported12. gameranx — GTA 6 Price & Ultimate Edition REVEALED. The Standard Edition therefore misses several shops and one exclusive missionReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?.

Apparel

• Vice City Style pack with exclusive outfits and tattoos for Jason and LuciaReported15. insider-gaming.com — All GTA 6 Editions, Prices, Content Included & Pre-Order Bonuses16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses
• Good Time Gear clothing capsule

Rockstar uses both "Good Time Gear" and "Goodtime Gear" for the capsule. Sources disagree on its mascot. Three official sources say it features Macca the Gator, while a single report names a character called Meow the DinosReported13. Poor Lester — Is GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Actually Worth It?. The official, multi-source version is the stronger one, so expect Macca.

Physical copies have no disc

Physical retail copies contain a digital download code in the box instead of a disc. According to one report, a redeemed code is permanently tied to your platform accountReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?.

Our take: That severely limits a boxed copy's resale value. You will also download the whole game either way. Rockstar has confirmed pre-loading from November 12 only for digital pre-orders.

Platforms, PC and GTA Online

• Consoles: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is officially PS5 Pro Enhanced and supports DualSense haptics, adaptive triggers and Remote Play.
• PC: One report says GTA VI won't launch on PC alongside the console versionsReported10. keengamer.com — GTA 6 Prices and Editions: Which Edition Should You Buy?. No PC release date has been confirmed, per the same type of coverageReported16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses.
• Online: GTA VI launches strictly as a single-player experience. One report says pre-orders cover only the story mode, not GTA OnlineReported3. SubscribeForTacos — GTA 6 Pre-Order: Is the $100 Edition Actually Worth It?. So neither edition's extras carry over to an online mode at launch.

Which edition should you buy?

This section is our analysis, not a Rockstar claim.

The Ultimate extras are mostly cosmetics, vehicles, shop access and one mission. Both editions share the same storyReported16. games.gg — GTA 6 Editions Guide: Prices, Content & Pre-Order Bonuses. Buying Standard costs you nothing permanent, because the $20 upgrade is available at any time. Ultimate costs $99.99, the same as Standard plus the upgrade.

Our advice:

• If you're unsure, buy Standard. You can upgrade once you've seen how much the exclusive shops and the PTT Youngin$ raid matter to you.
• If you know you want everything, buying Ultimate up front has no downside.
• Whichever you choose, pre-order before November 19 so the Vintage Vice City Pack is included.

• $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate
