GTA VI Finally Gets a Price Tag and a No-Disc Rule for Physical Edition

Rockstar says the game will cost $79.99 and offers a $99.99 edition as pre-orders open at midnight local time.

  • Rockstar Games announced pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin Thursday, June 25, at midnight, with the game launching November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
  • Physical copies will contain a one-time-use digital download code rather than a game disc, a decision that sparked controversy despite arguments it helps prevent leaks and unauthorized reselling.
  • Retailing at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, the game's pricing represents a 'clever strategy,' according to NYU Stern professor Joost van Dreunen.
  • Jason and Lucia's story expands in the Ultimate Edition, which 'amplifies this experience with an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action,' alongside a Vintage Vice City Pack for pre-orders.
  • Following the success of GTA 5, which sold nearly 230 million copies, anticipation for the sequel remains high as the studio works to meet expectations after multiple delays.
