Overview
- Rockstar disclosed the official prices on Wednesday, June 24, setting the Standard edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99.
- Pre-orders open at midnight local time on Thursday, June 25 through PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store and participating retailers, with digital preloads available November 12 and the game launching November 19.
- Physical boxes will contain only a download code rather than a disc, and digital pre-orders include one month of GTA+ while all pre-orders before November 20 receive the Vintage Vice City Pack.
- The Ultimate Edition bundles exclusive vehicles, weapons, outfits, tattoos and some in‑game shops and activities that unlock across the story, which raises questions about edition‑gated content access.
- Cybersecurity firms including Malwarebytes and NordVPN warn that scam sites are selling fake VIP beta access or malware‑laced installers and advise buying only from official storefronts and avoiding crypto payments or unknown downloads.
