What it costs to play Grand Theft Auto VI

Price answer

Not verified

Checked November 10, 2026 (2026-11-10T01:27:01Z). Rockstar’s product page, PlayStation’s US game page, and Xbox’s US game page did not display a current USD price in the text we read.

Scope of that check: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A June 24, 2026 Take-Two release discusses pre-order pricing. This answer does not use that release as the current price, and it does not say an official price was never published.

Standard Edition

Grand Theft Auto VI

USD price: Not verified

PlayStation’s US support page uses the name Standard Edition for the base game. No current USD price is filled in.

Stated

  • PlayStation lists a PlayStation Store edition and a physical code-in-box edition. The box has a download code and no disc.
  • Take-Two said pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack. That release does not itemize the pack.
  • Take-Two said digital pre-orders include one month of GTA+.

Not stated on the pages we read

  • Rockstar’s product page, PlayStation’s US game page, and Xbox’s US page, read November 10, 2026, do not display a current USD price.
  • A June 24, 2026 Take-Two news release discusses pre-order pricing. That is not treated as the current price.
  • No upgrade price from Standard to Ultimate was printed on the pages we checked.

Ultimate Edition

Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition

USD price: Not verified

Rockstar’s game page and Take-Two’s June 24, 2026 release name Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition. Neither page is used here as a current price.

Stated

  • Take-Two described an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action across Jason and Lucia’s story.
  • PlayStation sells it on the PlayStation Store and says a Standard owner, including a code-in-box owner, can buy an upgrade there later.
  • The same pre-November 20, 2026 Vintage Vice City Pack and digital GTA+ month notes from Take-Two apply to pre-orders and purchases of either edition.

Not stated on the pages we read

  • Specific vehicle, weapon, and clothing names were not in the Take-Two release text we read, so they are not listed here.
  • No separate Ultimate upgrade price was stated on the pages we checked.
  • Rockstar’s shop also shows merchandise, including a collector’s box. That is not treated as a third game edition.

The June 24, 2026 Take-Two release is linked from Sources. It is not used as a current price.

Pre-load

Rockstar’s game page, retrieved November 10, 2026, says pre-load begins November 10. PlayStation’s US game and support pages say November 10, 2026 at midnight local time, and say to free at least 212 GB.

Take-Two’s June 24, 2026 release said digital pre-load on November 12, and code-in-box availability starting November 12.

The June release’s November 12 retail note for code-in-box copies was not restated on the Rockstar homepage text we read.
