Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are open for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with the game arriving Thursday, November 19.
There are two editions: a standard version at $79.99 and an Ultimate Edition at $99.99. Physical copies of the standard edition are listed at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. Digital copies are sold through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store and Rockstar Games Store. The Ultimate Edition is digital-only. Rockstar describes it as a collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel and action. The list includes a '95 Grotti Cheetah, a Shitzu Squalo boat, a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with a garage, two vehicle mod shops and a gang-compound raid mission.
Anyone who buys before November 20 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack. It includes a yellow '55 Vapid Stanier with its own garage, outfits and hairstyles for protagonists Jason and Lucia, and a palm tree weapon pattern. Digital preorders also add a free month of GTA+, the subscription that normally costs $7.99 per month. Digital buyers can preload from November 12. Physical copies also ship that day and can be preloaded, and they reportedly contain a download code rather than a disc.
The incentives point one way. The only perk exclusive to physical is the box, while the free GTA+ month and the Ultimate Edition both require a digital purchase. That suits a publisher that keeps more of each sale when no retailer is involved, though Rockstar has not said so.
The $80 sticker is also above the $70 that has been the usual top price for console games.
Two questions remain open. Rockstar told IGN the game is a single-player experience, but Twitch CEO Dan Clancy told Bloomberg he expects multiplayer next year. Rockstar has not confirmed that. GTA 5 got GTA Online two weeks after its 2013 launch, and that mode became a $20 standalone title in 2022. A PC version is reportedly due in early 2027, according to gaming business site GamesBeat. After delays from late 2025 to May 2026 and then to this fall, console players go first.
