Rockstar Games officially confirmed GTA 6 pricing on June 24, 2026. The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 in the United States. Pre-orders opened at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. The game launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has been confirmed but carries no announced release date or price.
At AboutGTA, we cover only what Rockstar has officially announced. This guide covers the confirmed prices for both editions, a country-by-country price breakdown, platform availability, pre-order bonuses, and a clear comparison of the Standard versus Ultimate Edition to help players decide which version makes sense for them.
All prices in this guide reflect Rockstar’s official announcements and confirmed storefront listings as of June 25, 2026. Regional prices that are estimated rather than officially confirmed are clearly labelled.
GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the United States. Rockstar confirmed both prices on June 24, 2026, the day before pre-orders opened. This makes Grand Theft Auto VI one of the first major AAA titles to price its standard edition at $79.99, moving $10 above the $69.99 baseline that defined most current-generation releases.
The $79.99 price point generated significant discussion across the gaming community. Many players had expected the standard copy to reach $100 given GTA 6’s reported development scale and Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick’s earlier comments about video game pricing being too low relative to hours of entertainment provided. The actual price landed lower than the most pessimistic forecasts, though it still sets a new standard for a base game in this console generation.
GTA 6 joins Nintendo’s Mario Kart World as one of only two major releases to adopt the $79.99 standard price. Industry analysts are watching closely to see whether other publishers follow Rockstar’s lead and whether $80 becomes the new baseline for blockbuster releases across the industry.
Rockstar also confirmed that the physical edition of GTA 6 ships as a code in a box rather than a disc. Both physical and digital copies cost the same. Players who pre-order any edition before November 20, 2026 receive the Vintage Vice City Pack regardless of which edition they choose.
Rockstar confirmed two editions for GTA 6 at launch: Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99. No Collector’s Edition, Deluxe Edition, or third pricing tier was announced. Earlier leaked placeholder listings showing three editions turned out to be incorrect – the official reveal confirmed exactly two editions as the only available options.

The Standard Edition at $79.99 delivers the complete GTA 6 single-player campaign featuring Lucia and Jason’s story across Leonida and Vice City. Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 launches as a single-player experience, with no new GTA Online mode shipping alongside it at launch. This mirrors what happened with GTA 5, which launched without its online component before GTA Online released separately weeks later.
Standard Edition buyers who pre-order before November 20, 2026 also receive the Vintage Vice City Pack and one free month of GTA+ membership. The physical Standard Edition ships with a download code in the box rather than a game disc. Players who start with the Standard Edition can upgrade to Ultimate Edition content at any time by purchasing the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately – they won’t need to rebuy the full game.
The Ultimate Edition at $99.99 adds an exclusive collection of premium content woven throughout the main story. Rockstar describes the extras as content that ‘amplifies this experience’ rather than separate missions or additional story chapters. The bonus content integrates with the main campaign rather than arriving as standalone add-ons.
Ultimate Edition buyers also get access to two unique in-game shops – Rideout Customs and Sara’s Unisex Salon – that Standard Edition players cannot access on day one. The Ultimate Edition is digital only. No physical version of the Ultimate Edition exists. Players who want the Ultimate content in a physical box would need to purchase the Standard physical edition and then buy the digital upgrade separately.
Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive use regional pricing across global storefronts rather than applying a direct currency conversion from the US price. As a result, the actual cost of GTA 6 varies significantly by country. Some regions pay considerably less than the US price when converted to USD, while others – particularly in Europe and the Middle East – pay more. The table below covers confirmed and estimated prices for major markets.

Regional pricing reflects a combination of factors that digital storefronts and publishers apply independently. Local taxes are the largest driver – many European countries embed VAT directly into the listed storefront price, while Canada adds provincial sales tax separately at checkout, making the final amount exceed the listed CA$109.99. The pre-tax base price in Canada is actually competitive with the US when converted, but the checkout total varies by province.
Countries like Japan and South Korea benefit from regional pricing models that set local prices below what a straight currency conversion would produce. This is a deliberate commercial decision by Rockstar and Take-Two to maintain accessibility in major Asian markets where gaming spending patterns differ from Western markets. Israel and Hungary end up at the high end globally because neither country benefits from the same regional pricing consideration, and local taxes push the effective USD equivalent above the US list price.
Prices for markets marked as estimated in the table above reflect storefront listings that opened on June 25, 2026 as pre-orders went live region by region. AboutGTA will update this guide as additional official confirmations land. For the most current price in your specific country, check your PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store account directly.

GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. Both platforms carry identical pricing – $79.99 for Standard and $99.99 for Ultimate in the US. Pre-orders on both platforms opened simultaneously at midnight local time on June 25, 2026 through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and participating physical retailers.
The PC version sits in a confirmed-but-unscheduled position. Rockstar confirmed PC as a future platform without announcing a price or release window. Based on Rockstar’s pattern with GTA 5 (which arrived on PC approximately 18 months after console launch) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (which reached PC about a year after consoles), a PC release date for GTA 6 in 2027 or 2028 appears likely. PC pricing typically matches console pricing on Rockstar releases, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
There are no announced versions for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. GTA 6 targets only current-generation hardware at launch. Previous-generation console versions have not been confirmed or denied by Rockstar.
Pre-ordering GTA 6 before November 20, 2026 adds the Vintage Vice City Pack to either edition at no extra cost. The pack includes a 1955 Vapid Stanier sedan, a personal Shore Court garage in Ocean Beach, exclusive outfits for both Jason and Lucia, and an iconic weapon pattern. Digital pre-orders also include one free month of GTA+ membership, redeemable through March 31, 2027.
Pre-Order Item | Description | Available To |
’55 Vapid Stanier sedan | Classic period-accurate sedan. Stored at Shore Court personal garage in Ocean Beach | Both editions |
Shore Court personal garage | Personal garage near Ocean Beach. Includes weapon locker and secure deposit for stolen goods | Both editions |
Vintage outfits for Jason | Effortlessly chic linen suit in vintage pastel with decade-appropriate styling | Both editions |
Vintage outfits for Lucia | Red sequin mini dress with curls. 80s-inspired Vice City excess aesthetic | Both editions |
Iconic weapon pattern | Exclusive weapon skin echoing the visual style of Vice City’s past | Both editions |
One month GTA+ membership | Free month of Rockstar’s subscription service, redeemable by March 31, 2027 | Both editions (digital) |
Pre-load access | Download the game from November 12, 2026 – one week before launch | All pre-orders |
Pre-orders opened at midnight local time on June 25, 2026 across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Store, and physical retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Fnac, and Micromania depending on region. The pre-order bonus deadline runs until November 20, 2026 – one day after launch – which means players who buy the game on day one still qualify for the Vintage Vice City Pack as long as they purchase before the end of November 19.
Players who pre-order digitally can begin downloading GTA 6 from November 12, 2026 – seven days before the November 19 launch date. This early pre-load window allows the full game to download before launch day so players can access it immediately at release without waiting for a download to complete.
Rockstar confirmed that the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Upgrade is available as a separate purchase for Standard Edition owners at any point after launch. Players who start with the $79.99 Standard Edition and later decide they want the Ultimate content can purchase the upgrade without buying the game again. The upgrade price has not been officially confirmed but can be expected to represent the $20 difference between the two editions.
Most players should buy the Standard Edition at $79.99. It includes the complete GTA 6 story campaign and the full single-player experience Rockstar has built. The Ultimate Edition at $99.99 makes sense if exclusive vehicles, personalised weapons, unique outfits, and access to Rideout Customs and Sara’s Unisex Salon appeal to you specifically. The $20 difference buys cosmetic and vehicle content integrated throughout the story – not additional story missions.
The Standard Edition is the right choice for players whose priority is the main campaign. Lucia and Jason’s complete story is identical across both editions. No story missions, cutscenes, or narrative content sits behind the Ultimate Edition paywall. The additional content is cosmetic and vehicle-based, which matters for players who care about customization and having premium cars from the start, but makes no difference to players focused on the story alone.
The Ultimate Edition warrants the $20 premium for players who expect to spend significant time on vehicle collection and character customization. The three exclusive vehicles – a ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Shitzu Squalo, and ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy – plus the exclusive shops and personalised weapons represent meaningful content for players who engage heavily with those systems. Think of it as the equivalent of the GTA Online Shark Card bundle for players who want a head start on style.
One consideration worth noting: Standard Edition owners can upgrade at any time after purchase. If you buy the Standard Edition at launch and decide after playing that you want the Ultimate content, the upgrade path remains open. There’s no pressure to commit to the higher price before experiencing the game.
AboutGTA’s editorial standard separates confirmed facts from analysis and unconfirmed speculation. On GTA 6 pricing, the confirmed facts are: Standard Edition $79.99, Ultimate Edition $99.99, launch November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, pre-orders live from June 25, 2026, Vintage Vice City Pack for all pre-orders before November 20, and PC version confirmed without a scheduled date or price.
What remains unconfirmed: the Ultimate Edition Upgrade price as a standalone purchase, PC pricing, any potential sale pricing at launch from third-party retailers, and whether additional edition tiers will emerge between now and November 19. The physical disc absence is confirmed – all physical copies ship as code-in-box. No disc version of GTA 6 exists in any region.
For the latest confirmed pricing updates as storefront listings confirm regional prices in the weeks ahead, the AboutGTA GTA 6 News Hub tracks official announcements and clearly labels anything that remains unverified. Any price changes or new edition announcements from Rockstar will appear there first.
