'Grand Theft Auto VI' ultimate edition. Rockstar Games We’ve finally got the pricing for Grand Theft Auto VI, and somehow it is better than anticipated, worse than history would dictate, and exactly what we expected.
On Wednesday, Rockstar Games, a Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) label, revealed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin at midnight local time. With the announcement came the price(s) reveal: GTA VI will start at $79.99 when it launches on Nov. 19, 2026 on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is the base single-player game.
Grand Theft Auto V was $10 cheaper.
Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition “amplifies the experience” of the base game with “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story,” Rockstar said. That version will cost $99.99.
In GTA VI, protagonists Jason and Lucia “have always known the deck is stacked against them,” the logline reads. “But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America (Vice City), in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
All preorders (of either version) before Nov. 20, 2026 will include the “Vintage Vice City Pack,” a collection of items that “flash back to when the neon burned brightest,” the company said. Preorders will also get one free month of GTA+, which Rockstar calls “the best way to get the most out of the ever-evolving world of GTA Online.’ GTA+ grants access to Grand Theft Auto V “and other classic Rockstar titles.”
Players who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto VI will be able to begin pre-loading on Nov. 12, 2026 to “ensure they are able to play at launch.” It’s gonna be a big game to download.
Rockstar is calling “a download code inside the box” option a “physical version” of GTA VI, but we all know that’s nonsense. Anyway, if you really want the game box, it too will be available for pre-loading a week early. Rockstar is also the rockstar game-maker behind the Red Dead Redemption series.
Grand Theft Auto VI will be available at the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Rockstar Games Store, as well as global retailers and storefronts. The game is not yet rated, but trust: it’s not gonna get an “E” for “Everyone.”
