Overview
- Rockstar confirmed Wednesday that Grand Theft Auto VI will retail for $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, with pre-orders opening at midnight local time on June 25.
- Physical copies will contain only a download code rather than a disc, digital pre-loads will begin on November 12, and the game launches on consoles on November 19, 2026 with PC availability announced later.
- The Ultimate Edition includes an exclusive collection of vehicles, weapons, outfits, tattoos, special shops and story-tied content that unlocks across Jason and Lucia’s chapters.
- Cybersecurity firms including Malwarebytes and NordVPN warn that numerous scam sites are offering fake 'VIP early access' or beta invites, asking for personal data or irreversible crypto payments and distributing malware via fake installers and DLL sideloading.
- The confirmed price and discless physical strategy underline a rising AAA-price trend and could affect resale and collector practices, while the simultaneous scam wave makes buying only from official Rockstar and platform storefronts the safest option.
