The GTA 6 price is $79.99 for the Standard Edition in the United States, and Rockstar sells the game in two editions. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, a day after Rockstar revealed the prices, and the game launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This guide lays out the editions and what each price covers, starting with the United States, then the United Kingdom, and says plainly which figures come from Rockstar and which come from store listings. For release details, see the GTA 6 hub.
United States: what Rockstar announced
On June 24, Rockstar, a Take-Two label, announced pre-orders and prices, reported by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. Both give the same numbers:
- Standard Edition: $79.99. The base single-player game. Rockstar’s game page labels it “Digital or Code in Box”. The physical version is a box containing a download code, not a disc.
- Ultimate Edition: $99.99. Rockstar describes it as an “exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story”.
Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick addressed the pricing on the company’s August 7 earnings call. Variety quotes him saying Rockstar “got it right” on both editions, and that “depending on your own ability to pay and how avid a consumer you are, you can choose between them.”
Pre-order bonuses
- Vintage Vice City Pack. A set of items that, in Rockstar’s wording, “flash back to when the neon burned brightest”. Orders placed before November 20, 2026 receive it, per Hollywood Reporter.
- One free month of GTA+. Hollywood Reporter reports it comes with pre-orders, and Rockstar’s page lists a “Free Month of GTA+”. It describes GTA+ as the way to get more out of GTA Online and, per the article, gives access to Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles.
Rockstar’s page also promotes a Collector’s Box called The Vice City Collection. We have not verified its price or contents, so this guide does not cover it.
United Kingdom
Rockstar’s announcement as reported by the outlets above was in dollars, so the pound prices come from store listings, not a Rockstar press line. TechRadar’s pre-order tracker gives the Standard Edition at £69.99 and the Ultimate Edition at £89.99, and shows Amazon, Currys and Argos each listing the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Standard Edition at £69.99. It also notes an EE listing at £68, which is a carrier deal rather than a different list price. We opened only one source for the UK figures, so check the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store before you pay. A currency conversion of the US price, which some sites publish, is not the same thing as the real UK price.
Other regions
We have not confirmed euro, Canadian, Australian or Indian prices from Rockstar or a store listing, and we are not publishing guesses. Digital stores set regional pricing, and it often differs from a straight currency conversion. Open your own console store’s GTA VI page to see your price.
Which edition should you buy?
That depends on how much you value the extras. Standard gives you the full game. Ultimate adds the vehicles, weapons, apparel and other content Rockstar lists. Rockstar has not published, in anything we opened, an upgrade price from Standard to Ultimate, so do not assume one exists. If you buy a physical copy, remember it is a code in a box: you will still need to download the game.
What is still unconfirmed
- Official prices outside the US set by Rockstar itself.
- Whether an upgrade path from Standard to Ultimate exists, and at what price.
- Price drops or bundles, which Rockstar has not announced.
