GTA 6 price finally revealed as Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders open today; Rockstar details Ultimate Edition and launch bonuses
The company has confirmed that the Standard Edition of GTA 6 will cost $79.99, making it one of the most expensive major video games to date. Rockstar also introduced the Ultimate Edition, priced at $99.99, offering additional in-game content and bonuses to players looking for a broader experience.
GTA 6 launch editions and pricing
According to Rockstar Games, GTA 6 will be available in two confirmed versions at launch:
- Standard Edition: $79.99
- Ultimate Version: $99.99
The Ultimate Edition includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, outfits and other content integrated into the story of heroes Jason and Lucia.
Rockstar also reiterated that GTA 6 will be released as a single-player experience. The company hasn’t shared any details about a future version of GTA Online or multiplayer plans.
Pre-order bonuses announced
Players who pre-order GTA 6 or purchase the game before November 20 will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of bonus items inspired by the classic neon-filled era of Vice City.
Rockstar also confirmed that digital pre-orders will include a free month of GTA+, the company’s subscription service.
Those who purchase digital versions of the game will be able to pre-load GTA 6 starting November 12, so they can start playing as soon as the game is released on November 19.
Physical copies that will include the download code
In a move that reflects the industry’s growing push towards digital distribution, Rockstar said physical copies of GTA 6 will not include a game disc. Instead, buyers will receive a download code inside the box.
The company stated that physical versions will be available starting November 12 to support pre-loading before launch day.
Reports point to additional editions
Although Rockstar has officially only announced the Standard and Ultimate editions, Media Markt Poland’s online retailer listing has reported that GTA 6 may also come in Special Edition and Collector’s Edition variants.
However, Rockstar has not confirmed either version and vendor information remains unverified.
Performance Mode, Quality Mode rumors
The same retailer listing claimed that GTA 6 will be able to offer both Performance Mode and Quality Mode on current-gen consoles, allowing players to choose between higher frame rates and improved graphics fidelity.
The listing also mentioned support for PlayStation 5 DualSense haptic feedback and SSD-powered fast loading times. Rockstar has not confirmed any of these features and until they are officially announced they should be treated as speculation.
Trailer 3 speculations grow
With pre-orders starting on June 25, online speculation regarding the possible release of GTA 6 Trailer 3 has intensified. Various reports and fan discussions suggest that Rockstar may unveil a new trailer alongside the pre-order launch.
However, the company did not make any statement about a third trailer.
The price announcement puts an end to months of speculation about GTA 6’s cost; some industry analysts previously predicted that Rockstar could charge up to $100 for the base version. Although the Standard Edition falls short of that mark, GTA 6 is currently among the highest-priced blockbuster games on the market.
