No. As of October 20, 2026, neither Sony nor Rockstar has announced a GTA 6 bundle for the PS5 or PS5 Pro. Sony's US GTA VI page sells the Standard Edition at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99, with a separate link to buy a PS5, and we found no bundle announcement on the PlayStation Blog. So far, Sony's launch-day hardware news is two GTA VI controllers and a Japan-only console that does not include the game. Some retailers sell their own console-and-game bundles.

What Sony has announced for the GTA 6 launch#

  • Two limited-edition DualSense controllers. Sony revealed Black and White Grand Theft Auto VI Limited Edition DualSense controllers at its September 3 State of Play. Both launch November 19 at $84.99 (£74.99, €84.99). The Black edition is sold only through direct.playstation.com where that store operates, and the White edition is also at participating retailers, per the PlayStation Blog.
  • A Japan-only Midnight Black PS5. On October 13, Sony Japan announced a PS5 Digital Edition in Midnight Black for November 19, the same day as GTA 6, at 55,000 yen, with pre-orders that opened on October 20 at Japanese PlayStation retailers and online stores, as the Japanese PlayStation Blog states. It only works with accounts set to the Japanese language and the Japan region, and the box holds the console, a DualSense and the pre-installed Astro's Playroom, not GTA 6. GamesRadar puts the price at about $350.
  • Marketing, not hardware. Rockstar's GTA VI page carries a "Plays Best On PlayStation 5" badge, and Sony's page lists the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced. Neither page offers a bundle.
  • Demand is rising anyway. Circana data reported by Bloomberg shows US PS5 unit sales up 22% year on year in September 2026, with the $900 PS5 Pro sold out or in limited supply at major online stores. Our PS5 sales report has the figures.

Retailer bundles we could verify#

Retailers can pair a console and the game themselves. As of October 20, 2026, UK retailer EE lists a "PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Console with PlayStation 5 Grand Theft Auto VI" bundle at £623, which it says saves £14.99, limited to one per customer. EE notes that the game inside is a download code in a box, not a disc; our physical edition explainer covers how that works.

When pre-orders opened in June, TechRadar reported EE bundles for both the PS5 Slim and the PS5 Pro and found none in the US, where stores sold the game on its own. We could not load EE's PS5 Pro listing on October 20, and the Slim bundle costs more than in June, when TechRadar listed it at £589.99. A retailer bundle is not a Sony product, so prices and stock can change without notice.

What Sony did for past Rockstar launches#

Sony bundled Rockstar's last two major releases on PlayStation, both announced on the PlayStation Blog.

Game Sony bundle Announced Game launch
Grand Theft Auto V 500GB PS3, the game on Blu-ray, 30-day PlayStation Plus trial June 10, 2013 September 17, 2013
Red Dead Redemption 2 1TB Jet Black PS4 Pro, DualShock 4, the game on Blu-ray September 24, 2018 October 26, 2018

Sony listed the GTA V bundle at $269 after cutting it from $299, and it went on sale on launch day. The Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle cost $399.99 in the US and $499.99 CAD in Canada and launched alongside the game.

Will there be an official GTA 6 bundle? Our analysis#

This section is our analysis, not reporting.

  • The calendar is against it. Sony announced the Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle 32 days before that game launched. On October 20, 2026, GTA 6 is 30 days away with no Sony bundle announced, and the only new console we found Sony dating for November 19, the Midnight Black PS5, is Japan-only.
  • A late bundle is still possible. GamesRadar expects Sony to release "something fresh" for the Western launch, and Sony markets GTA 6 as playing best on PS5. Neither is an announcement.
  • Retailer bundles are about convenience. EE's own figure puts its saving at £14.99, which is small next to the price of a console.
  • Do not wait on a bundle that may not come. If you need a PS5 for launch, buy the console when the price suits you, pre-order the game separately and pre-load from November 10.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a GTA 6 PS5 bundle?

Not from Sony or Rockstar as of October 21, 2026. Some retailers, such as EE in the UK, sell their own bundles of a PS5 and the game.

Is there a GTA 6 PS5 Pro bundle?

Sony has not announced one. TechRadar reported a retailer-made PS5 Pro bundle at EE in the UK when pre-orders opened in June.

Does the Midnight Black PS5 come with GTA 6?

No. It is a Japan-only PS5 Digital Edition that launches November 19, the same day as GTA 6, but the game is not in the box.

Did Sony make bundles for past Rockstar games?

Yes. Sony sold a GTA V PS3 bundle in 2013 and a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro bundle in 2018, announced about a month before that game launched.

Should I wait for an official GTA 6 bundle?

Our view: no. With a month to go and nothing announced, buy the console when the price suits you and pre-order the game separately.
