Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have finally lifted the veil on the highly anticipated pricing for Grand Theft Auto VI, confirming the cost of both the Standard and Ultimate Editions of the game. Fans can mark their calendars, as pre-orders for the next installment in the iconic series officially opened on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time, ahead of the global launch on November 19, 2026.
Standard Edition: The New Benchmark
The base version of Grand Theft Auto VI will retail for $79.99 USD across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This price point sets a new standard for AAA titles, sitting approximately $10 higher than many current-generation flagship games. European players can expect to pay €79.99, while in the UK, the Standard Edition is priced at £69.99. This move reflects the increasing development costs and the sheer scale of ambition behind Rockstar’s latest open-world epic.
The Ultimate Vice City Experience
For those looking to dive deeper into the world of Leonida and Vice City with extra perks, the Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition is available for $99.99 USD. This premium package promises to enhance the experience with an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action sequences integrated throughout Jason and Lucia’s story. European players will find the Ultimate Edition priced at €99.99, and UK gamers at £89.99. It’s designed to offer a more comprehensive initial experience, granting access to unique in-game content from day one.
Pre-Order Details and Bonuses
Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI commenced on June 25, 2026, allowing eager players to secure their copy well in advance of the November 19, 2026 release. As a special incentive, all players who pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI, or purchase it before November 20, 2026, will receive the exclusive Vintage Vice City Pack. This bonus includes a selection of items that harken back to the vibrant, neon-soaked aesthetic of Vice City. Notably, physical copies of the game will come with a download code inside the box, rather than a disc, facilitating pre-loading and ensuring players are ready to jump into action immediately upon launch.
Regional Pricing and Industry Impact
The announcement confirms a consistent pricing strategy across major territories, with direct currency conversions for the US, Eurozone, and UK markets. This pricing strategy positions GTA VI as a premium title, reflecting its status as one of the most anticipated video games in history. Industry analysts had widely speculated on the game’s cost, with some even predicting a $100 base price, making the $79.99 standard edition a point of discussion among the gaming community.
