GTA 6 price and editions

Last verified: November 8, 2026, against the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store in 12 countries, Rockstar's editions support page and Take-Two's pre-order announcement.

A US copy of GTA 6 costs $79.99 in the Standard Edition or $99.99 in the Ultimate Edition, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S alike. Take-Two announced both prices on June 24, 2026, and the US PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store still charge exactly that. Both editions unlock on the GTA 6 release date, November 19, 2026. How many copies are already sold is tracked on our pre-order numbers page.

Prices by country, checked November 3#

We opened the game's PlayStation Store page in nine countries on November 3, 2026 and copied the two edition prices each one showed. Our nightly store snapshot read both stores in 12 countries again on November 5 and November 8: no price had moved. These are Sony's and Microsoft's listed prices, not retailer deals.

Store	Standard	Ultimate
United States	$79.99	$99.99
United Kingdom	£69.99	£89.99
Germany, France	€79.99	€99.99
Canada	CA$109.99	CA$139.99
Australia	AU$129.95	AU$159.95
New Zealand	NZ$139.95	NZ$174.95
Japan	¥9,800	¥12,280
India	Rs 5,999	Rs 7,499

Every one of these listings also names the Ultimate Edition Upgrade, for people who start with the Standard Edition; its own price is in the section below. GTA 5 launched at $59.99 in 2013, so this is the first mainline GTA with an $80 base price.

What each edition includes#

Edition	What you get	Formats
Standard	The complete game, single-player	Digital, or a box with a download code
Ultimate	Standard plus extra vehicles, weapons, outfits and businesses unlocked as the story goes on	Digital only
Ultimate Edition Upgrade	Turns a Standard copy into Ultimate	Digital add-on

The extra $20 buys in-game items, not more story. Our Ultimate Edition contents guide lists every item Rockstar has shown, from the '95 Grotti Cheetah to the salon and the custom shops.

Ultimate Edition Upgrade price#

Rockstar's editions support page, last updated November 4, says Standard owners can buy the Upgrade from the PlayStation or Microsoft stores "at any time", and that box buyers can do so once their download code has been redeemed. The page gives no price, so we read it from the Microsoft Store's public catalog on November 8, 2026 (product 9PN4LLBR8RCH, "Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade"):

Microsoft Store market	Upgrade price
United States	$20.00
United Kingdom	£20.00
France, Germany	€20.00
Canada	CA$30.00
Australia	AU$30.00
New Zealand	NZ$35.00
Mexico	MX$380
Brazil	R$100
Japan	¥2,480
South Korea	₩23,000
India	Rs 1,500

In every one of those markets the Upgrade costs exactly the Ultimate price minus the Standard price on the same store. On Xbox, then, starting with Standard and upgrading after launch costs the same as buying Ultimate today, and the Standard pre-order still carries the Vintage Vice City Pack and, if digital, the GTA+ month. GameSpot also reports a $20 Upgrade for both stores and for box copies. We found no separate price for the Upgrade on the PlayStation Store's game page, so this table has no PlayStation column yet.

Pre-order bonus: the Vintage Vice City Pack#

Take-Two says all pre-orders and purchases "before November 20, 2026" include the Vintage Vice City Pack, whichever edition and whichever store. The stores phrase the same cut-off from their side: the PlayStation Store says "by November 19, 2026", and the Microsoft Store says "prior to 19 November 2026 23:59:59". According to GameSpot's rundown of Rockstar's reveal, the pack holds:

• a '55 Vapid Stanier sedan;
• the Shore Court garage near Ocean Beach, with a weapons locker and storage;
• period outfits and hairstyles, including Jason's linen suit and Lucia's red sequin mini dress;
• a palm-tree weapon pattern based on Tommy Vercetti's shirt.

It is a launch bonus, separate from the paid Ultimate extras: you can take the pack with the cheaper Standard Edition. The Ultimate Edition Upgrade bought on its own does not qualify.

Retailers add their own extras on top. Walmart's listing reportedly throws in a free "surprise and delight" bag with boxed pre-orders, which our story on the Walmart GTA 6 pre-order bonus treats as an unconfirmed leak.

GTA+ free month#

Digital pre-orders on the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store add one month of GTA+. Boxed copies do not get it. GTA+ is Rockstar's subscription for GTA Online and the GTA+ Games Library, which Take-Two's announcement says lets players "jump into Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles". GTA 6 itself is a single-player game, so the month gives you nothing inside GTA 6.

That decides when to claim it: whenever you want a month of GTA Online or the library, not around GTA 6's launch. The month starts when you redeem it, and the deadlines differ by platform:

• PlayStation: a confirmation email carries the redemption steps, and the offer must be claimed by March 31, 2027 (PS Store offer text).
• Xbox: a console pop-up tells you when it is ready; open the Store, select your profile icon, then "Offers & credits". It must be redeemed within 180 days of placing the pre-order (Microsoft Store).

Both stores limit it to one redemption per account. On PlayStation the membership "will continue monthly at the regular monthly price until canceled", so cancel in your subscription settings before the month ends if you do not want to pay.

Boxed copy: a code, not a disc#

There is no GTA 6 disc. Take-Two's announcement describes the physical version as "containing a download code inside the box", on sale "starting November 12, 2026 to support pre-loading". Redeem the code on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store and you download the same game as a digital buyer, on the same pre-load schedule.

Boxes are already turning up before the November 12 sale date. Kotaku reported on November 7 that a German retail worker had posted photos of a shrink-wrapped PS5 copy, with a warning on the front that there is no disc inside and that redeeming the code needs an internet connection. Holding a box early does not mean playing early: Rockstar Support says codes can be redeemed on arrival for the pre-load, and the game still unlocks at your store's release time.

What that changes in practice:

• No disc to resell or lend. Once the code is redeemed, the game sits on your account and the box is empty of value.
• The ship date matters. A box that arrives on November 19 misses the week of pre-loading, so check when the retailer ships.
• PlayStation codes follow regions, Xbox codes do not. Rockstar's support page ties each PlayStation code to the group of countries it was bought for: the US and Canada form one group, the UK stands alone, and France, Germany, India and most of Europe share another. For Xbox it says "Codes purchased are not region-locked". Japanese codes expire 170 days after November 19. Eurogamer first reported the region warning. On PS5, buy a box from your own country's store.
• Bonus split. A box still gets the Vintage Vice City Pack, but the GTA+ month is for digital pre-orders only.
• A poster, perhaps. Game Rant, in a story syndicated on OpenCritic, says Smyths Toys' UK listing promises an "A3 double-sided poster in the case". Rockstar's support page lists only the code and the pack, so treat the poster as a retailer's claim until boxes are opened. The free printable poster and map Rockstar did announce are in the pre-load guide.

Which edition to buy#

• You only want the story: Standard. The campaign and the pre-order pack are the same in both editions.
• You want the extra cars, guns and shops from the first hours: Ultimate.
• You are not sure: Standard, digital, before November 20. You keep the pack and the GTA+ month, and on Xbox the Upgrade later costs exactly the gap between the two editions (Microsoft Store, checked November 8).
