As we first reported on GameFragger.com, Rockstar Games has shared additional details about Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders ahead of their June 25 launch at midnight local time. Crucially, we also have pricing details, and they're fortunately not too eye-watering. 

Launching November 19, later this year, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the $79.99 standard edition of Grand Theft Auto VI features "a single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet."

The Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition amplifies the experience with an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story, and will be available for $99.99.

All Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026, will include the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of items that flash back to when the neon burned brightest, alongside a free month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders.

It's said that those will be the best way to get the most out of the ever-evolving world of GTA Online and instantly redeemable so that players can jump into Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles.

Players who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto VI will be able to begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026, to ensure they can play at launch. Here's an interesting development, though: the physical version of the game will contain only a download code inside the box, and no disc.

That will be available starting November 12, 2026, to support pre-loading, which means that no one will get their hands on the game early to start sharing spoilers or gameplay footage (what that means for critics is hard to say). Crucially, this closes the door on resales of the game and ensures the only way to play Grand Theft Auto VI is to buy a new version. 

With that in mind, we wouldn't bet on the game's price being reduced for years, if at all, so anyone holding out for a discount heading into the holidays will likely be disappointed. There being no disc for a game this huge may also be a sign of things to come.

"Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," reads the official synopsis. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

You can learn more about Grand Theft Auto VI's pre-order bonuses below. We've also included some new screenshots from the game.

Anyone surprised by this hasn’t been paying attention. The moment discs became optional, all digital was only a matter of time. We saw it a decade ago with computers and now it’s coming for consoles. I bet the PS6 only has a disc drive as an add on like the PS5 Pro and then it’s gone by PS7.

@Ha1frican - Not only that, discs are only able to hold a certain amount. I think a multi-layer disc alone can hold upwards to 128GB. And because there is no R&D to increase storage capacity in discs...this is what we get.

The game while single player, looks to be an online on at all times type of experience.

So besides no physical edition and the digital edition costing an additional $10, you've got entire shops and even missions locked behind an ADDITIONAL $20 ? As a gamer of over 25 years, it saddens me to say that this may be the last gaming generation I take part in, as I cannot see myself supporting an entire industry that takes part in these shady business practices.

@TheJok3r - I just had a look at all the Ultimate Edition bonuses carefully and there is literally no missions locked behind it, only cosmetics.

Shocked that you say you are a gamer of 25 years, but can't read and spread false information instead.

@kylo0607 -

"Raid the compound of one of Southside Vice City’s loudest and most socially active gangs and escape safely to score some special items and distinct contraband."

"Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalize them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman."

@TheJok3r - Literally both of your paragraphs conclude that items are the reward at the end.

@kylo0607 - I'll never understand why consumers such as yourself defend getting screwed over by these corporations.

kylo0607 - 6/24/2026, 10:41 AM
@TheJok3r - I literally provided you wrong on your original comment, it has nothing to do with being a consumer or not.

How about sticking to the topic of where you said factually wrong sentence?

TheJok3r - 6/24/2026, 10:44 AM
@kylo0607 - You said no missions are locked behind a wall; I proved you wrong; what else do you want ? Is two missions a big deal ? on their own, no, but that's not what's going on. We have those missions, a number of shops, vehicles, and weapons as well. On top of that, the base price is $80 instead of $70 and there's no physical copy. I can look past one or two of those, but all together ? it's just getting to be too much. No other entertainment industry has these kinds of shady business practices.

I dont like that at alllllllllllll. Without a physical copy you are even more at the mercy of the video game Gods. They can control whatever you do and pull the plug whenever they want. I dont like this.
I'll still buy it but I will complain the entire time.
My BIGGEST issue with this is it isolates part of the gaming community. Living in a rural area, there are many places that still do not have access to high speed internet or the bandwidth required for a download this size. Its sad. I just dont understand why a company would isolate people by requiring an internet connection to play a game like that.

@AgentofSH1ELD - No physical copies = no used market = no need to lower prices.
