GTA 6 Price Confirmed: $80 Standard Edition, $100 Ultimate Edition
The GTA 6 price is official. Rockstar confirmed a $80 standard edition and a $100 Ultimate Edition, with preorders opening at midnight on June 25. Here is the full GTA 6 price breakdown, every edition, and the preorder bonus.
The question that has hung over GTA 6 for more than a year finally has an official answer. Rockstar has confirmed the GTA 6 price: $80 for the standard edition and $100 for the Ultimate Edition, with preorders opening at midnight on June 25. The long-rumored $100 figure turned out to be real, just not for the base game. Here is the complete GTA 6 price breakdown, what each edition includes, and the preorder bonus everyone gets.
GTA 6 price: the official numbers
Straight from Rockstar, here is what GTA 6 costs:
- Standard Edition: $80
- Ultimate Edition: $100
Both launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. There is no last-gen or PC version at launch, so these are the two ways to buy the game.
The $80 standard price makes GTA 6 one of the most expensive standard-edition games yet, a step above the $70 that became the AAA baseline this generation. For a release of this scale, an $80 sticker was the widely expected outcome, and it lands exactly where Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick's earlier "70 or 80 bucks" comment pointed. We called that in our GTA 6 price breakdown before the reveal.
What the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition includes
The $100 Ultimate Edition is the premium tier, and it is built for players who want extras woven through the whole campaign. Rockstar describes it as an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, and apparel, plus bonus content threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story rather than bolted on as a side menu.
In other words, the $20 jump over the standard edition buys in-game content that follows you through the main game, not a separate mode. Whether that is worth the extra money comes down to how much you value cosmetic and vehicle bonuses, but $100 for the top tier is far more restrained than the $200-plus collector's editions that leaked in the run-up.
The preorder bonus: the Vintage Vice City Pack
Everyone who preorders, on either edition, gets the Vintage Vice City Pack, a nostalgia-soaked set of throwback content:
- A classic '55 Vapid Stanier sedan, plus a garage in Ocean Beach to keep it in.
- Decadent outfits and hairstyles for both Jason and Lucia, the look you can see in the art above.
- An iconic weapon pattern that echoes the excess of the original Vice City era.
It is a clean incentive to preorder rather than wait, and it leans hard into the 1980s Vice City heritage the whole game is built on.
When preorders open and when you can preload
The dates are locked:
- Preorders open at midnight on June 25, 2026, through digital storefronts and select retailers.
- Preloading begins November 12, seven days before launch, so the game is ready to play the moment it unlocks.
- GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026.
If you want to be playing at launch with no download wait, preordering digitally and preloading on November 12 is the path.
Is GTA 6 the first $80 game?
Not quite the headline some expected, but close. The standard edition at $80 sits at the top of current AAA pricing rather than breaking new ground at $100, which is the number a lot of the pre-reveal speculation feared. The real $100 price tag exists, but it is the Ultimate Edition, exactly the split we predicted: a $70 to $80 standard with the three-figure number reserved for the premium tier.
Because GTA 6 is influential enough to move the whole market, an $80 standard could nudge other publishers to follow, making $80 the new ceiling other AAA games feel licensed to reach. The price you pay for GTA 6 may end up being the price you pay for a lot of big games after it.
Where to preorder GTA 6 safely
One important warning as preorders go live. Buy only from official storefronts (the PlayStation Store, the Xbox/Microsoft Store) and verified retailers. Preorder scams and fake "early access" pages are spiking right now, and they will get worse around June 25. If a listing is not from an official source, do not enter payment details. We covered that scam wave in our GTA 6 fake-beta and malware warning, and the official details all trace to the Rockstar Games Newswire.
The bottom line
After a year and a half of guessing, the GTA 6 price is settled: $80 standard, $100 Ultimate, preorders at midnight June 25, and a Vintage Vice City Pack for everyone who buys early. The $100 rumor was right all along, just attached to the premium edition rather than the base game. Now the only number left to wait on is November 19.
