Rockstar Games has put a price on GTA VI, and the fine print is worth reading.
The standard edition runs $79.99, matching Mario Kart World as one of the first major titles at that price point. The $99.99 Ultimate Edition adds exclusive vehicles, weapons, and outfits — standard upsell territory. Less standard: several in-game shops for fashion, vehicle mods, and tattoos are locked entirely behind the pricier tier. If you bought the base game, those storefronts simply do not exist for you.
Locking cosmetics behind a premium edition is industry boilerplate. Locking commerce infrastructure — the shops themselves — is a different move. It reframes the Ultimate Edition less as bonus content and more as access to a fuller version of the game's economy, which matters more than a skin pack in a world where Rockstar's long-term revenue model leans heavily on in-game spending.
Rockstar also confirmed GTA VI launches as a single-player-only experience, with no online mode at release — the same pattern as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. GTA Online went on to fund Rockstar for over a decade. Expect the multiplayer announcement to arrive once the studio is ready to sell it separately.
