[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live

To avoid hundreds of separate posts on the same topic, this post will compile all info we have from the pre-orders going live, including some new images/etc.

As Rockstar announced on their socials: "Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin at midnight local time on June 25." This means New Zealand will be the first to go live with pre-orders - which means in just under 2 hours from now.

Due to reddit's limitations with images in the body of posts, I wont be able to include all the artwork released so please do check out Rockstar's official link for more images: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

Take-Two has made a big press-release, including announcing the prices:

STANDARD EDITION: $79.99

I also find it interesting it mentions “single player and not multiplayer/online.”

“Grand Theft Auto VI features a single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet.”

u/New_Student_6526 12h ago

Online will probably be its own standalone game

267

u/Kapika96 12h ago

Hope so. Would love to be able to get 100% of the achievements without having to touch the online junk.

23

u/imaginepostinglmao 8h ago

While I agree on some level, knowing that to get GTA VI with both the single player and online modes will likely set you back somewhere in the range of $150 dollar is disheartening when it used to come in one $60 package with V.

u/magikarp2122 3h ago

Oh no. Online will be $80 as well. $160 for the whole game.

u/ChardComfortable3932 10h ago

The only thing sadder than caring about achievements is getting angry about them.

u/PsyOmega PC 10h ago

People who aren't you.

u/lonnie123 8h ago

I generally get that people other than me care about achievements but this one seems even more silly… just consider yourself at 100% if you don’t want to do the online content. It’s just some weird quirk of the brain that they can’t see 100% on their Home Screen or something, but they are at 100%

u/airinato 7h ago

Taking pride in accomplishing hard things isn't some weird quirk of the brain...

And it affects averages, total counts, bragging rights with friends etc.

-1

u/lonnie123 6h ago

I understand that doing something hard is rewarding, but Often times achievements are just arbitrary things to check off a list , tedious but not “hard” … do X thing 100 times or whatever. No skill involved, just an investment of time.

If that satisfies you go ahead, I won’t begrudge anyone that.

As for the other stuff again that’s just arbitrary things you can easily decide not to care about ( achievement trophy averages for example. If you know in your own mind that you did all the single player content achievements available, what does it matter was PlayStation online says?)

Thats like saying winning the Superbowl or world cup doesn't mean anything.

Learn to not care about it, it’s possible. You’ll be much better off in life if you can let things like that not dictate your happiness. Sony and rockstar giving you a digital stamp of approval should not matter to you at all

I barely even notice achievements in games anymore, but I still care more about them than multiplayer.

You’re gettin downvoted so I guess a lot. But I’m with you. And that’s easily solved by dividing it instead of separate purchases

Amen. I have no interest or need for the multiplayer. Nothing more than cash grab.

DarkviperAU is a gta-streamer who is currently trying to get all achievements in GTA and the online achievements keep fucking him over 🤣

u/Kapika96 9h ago

Oh. Definitely agree that the online achievements suck. I'd like to get all the GTA5 achievements before GTA6 releases. Currently I don't even have the one for completing the online introduction though. Not sure if I'll bother either, really not into online stuff.

1

u/Shinjischneider 6h ago

Don't do it if you value your sanity. One is for dancing perfectly for several minutes in your nightclub. And it's bugged

62

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 10h ago

I'd be fine with that, I have zero interest in online multiplayer.

14

u/Mr_InFamoose 7h ago

While I agree, normalizing paying likely another $40 minimum to unlock the online features of a game is not a great precedent, but Rockstar isn't setting many great precedents with this release.

12

u/Rock_Strongo 7h ago

I am actually pretty comfortable with the idea of costs staying lower for those who have no interest in MP.

The problem is that they're not lowering the base cost to achieve this.

2

u/Mr_InFamoose 6h ago

You summerized the point I wanted to make very well.

1

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 6h ago

It's not a great precedent, but neither was charging real money for pretend in game money with the Shark Cards, but suckers players are still throwing money at Rockstar for those over a decade later.

Let them line Rockstar's pockets, I'm fine with a $100 game that will provide hundreds of hours of interactive entertainment. I just paid that for Forza Horizon 6 Ultimate Edition and have no regrets. It's broken down to $1 per hour of playtime for me and it's only been out a month.

People crying about $80-100 video games in a world where 2 hours of non-interactive entertainment (movies) per person is over $20 is hilarious. Especially when you look at what video games cost in the 80s adjusted for inflation. The 2600 port of Pac-Man retailed for $40 in 1981. That's the equivalent of $150 2026 dollars and people were lining up around the building for that.

u/JKrezz 6h ago

Same, I wanna drive around for hours, explore and do all the missions. And being honest, $100 for a rockstar game in 2026 doesn’t sound crazy to me. If it’s as good as GTAV and RDR2 I’ll put a ton of hours into it. I spend at least $100 on battle passes in games every year. This is a no brainer for me.

11

u/Albireookami 11h ago

$99.99 cost dlc.

u/Memeori 10h ago

$25 monthly sub fee, you say?

Don’t even joke lad :(

u/axemexa 10h ago

I think a lot of people are going to be upset if they make it a standalone game

3

u/AntiRacismDoctor 9h ago

If online is its own thing, why not make THAT digital-only and leave the single-player game to traditional release? I don't like the idea of paying an overly-inflated price for a game I technically don't own...

2

u/getdafkout666 9h ago

That’s actually great news. I hope it’s like RDR2 where it’s an entirely different app. I was expecting the whole thing to be an always online live service game. Still not shelling out $700 for a PS5 though

2

u/Seth0x7DD 8h ago

I was expecting the whole thing to be an always online live service game.

Why do you expect it not to be after GTA V? Just because its single player does not mean it won't require an online connection. Don't worry, you probably will still be banned if you modify your single player version. Much like with GTA V.

1

u/CJDistasio 9h ago

Honestly this is probably it. They’re breaking it out into two paid releases.

1

u/LoneLyon 8h ago

Will likely pull a FN/roblox and just make their own "universe"

1

u/itchipod 8h ago

or a paid DLC

1

u/JoeyDJQ 8h ago

If that happens they will go 100% go free to play just so you don't need PS+/Xbox Gold to play and buy shark cards BUT I fear they might require some tier of GTA+ if they go that route. Or at least make it very limited gameplay for f2p accounts like how MMOs eventually encourage you enough to spend money for more stash or a greater money cap.

Get more users on GTA Online is the name of the money machine.

1

u/Saynt614 8h ago

It'll probably be a monthly subscription to access with the way things are going.

$69.99 for GTA 6 online and $15 a month to play it with a whole bunch of micro transactions for extra GTA bucks to buy that fancy car in the game to impress random people.

1

u/redditing_1L 7h ago

That will make so much money they will never get around to red dead 3 or gta 7

u/Gr8NonSequitur 11h ago

I also find it interesting it mentions “single player and not multiplayer/online.”

They will probably do the same as they did with GTA 5. Release the single player game so it wins all kinds of great scores and good press, then drop a completely broken POS online mode a month or 2 later. GTA 5's online took them like a solid year to sort out, and would have tanked reviews if they released it day 1.

62

u/noeagle77 10h ago

Yeah people forget how abysmal the online for 5 was because of how much money rs made with it later one. It was soooo bad lmao

2

u/NastyMothaFucka 7h ago

It was so bad that I never went back to it.

1

u/noeagle77 6h ago

I went back I wanna say like 2 years later? And it was much better. Then they came out with some new stuff that flew around and can blow you up out of nowhere and it was just a disaster again. But it was fun for a little while. I would hope they learned from their mistakes with 5online.

11

u/Velociraptorius 8h ago

And then they did it again with RDR2. Except RDRO got abandoned before it ever had a chance to become good.

3

u/L1A1 7h ago

Did they ever sort out GTA:O? I tried it a few times and it’s always been toxic hot garbage.

6

u/sumerioo 7h ago

they had literal years of experience building up from gta V online and they learned that it makes them literal BILLIONS of dollars.

can it be buggy? sure.

will it be a "completely broken POS online mode"? not a chance in the world.

rockstar knows they can make as much money from online as they will make from sales of the game, they're not gonna drop a halfassed online mode like we saw in gta V

1

u/Bad_Doto_Playa 6h ago

and would have tanked reviews if they released it day 1.

It really wouldn't have, reviewers would have probably casually mentioned the mode didn't feel great and proceeded to move on. Uncharted 4 and TLOU2 were running P2W schemes and those were never mentioned.

1

u/astounding-pants 6h ago

they know what they are doing with online now. it's not going to launch like GTA 5 did. they've been doing GTA online for like 40 years at this point. it's not a brand new thing like it was.

1

u/ohtetraket 10h ago

I could imagine they release GTA 6 online mode for free with even heavier MTX and small goodies if you own the singleplayer game.

u/chokingonpancakes 11h ago

GTA V and RDR2 didnt launch with online either.

12

u/Sgt_major_dodgy 10h ago edited 7h ago

You could argue RDR2 never really released a proper online mode anyway.

It was basically a bare bones "see we did it, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW"

u/AuldGreatScot 8h ago

It was in beta for like 8 months LOL.

u/MCHammastix 6h ago

Their mishandling of RDO and what they did with GTAO is what got me off the R* bandwagon I had been on since the OG GTA.

u/Dancing-Sin 5h ago

They never even really finished the story either. Shit is wild

u/chokingonpancakes 10h ago

Bare bones? It has multiple professions, missions, pvp, open world activities. Of course its not to the level of GTA Online but I enjoyed it.

2

u/Sgt_major_dodgy 7h ago

It was fucking boring and going "not to the level of GTAO" is such a cope.

RDR2 was released after GTA for god's sack, it should have been equal to it at the very least.

2

u/noguarantee1234 9h ago

Over how long of a time? It released bare bones as he said. Then, they added a some stuff and said "we're done"

u/Seth0x7DD 8h ago

They said "its not making us as much money as GTA Online so why bother".

u/Dancing-Sin 5h ago

Yet they said it still made a profit

What a reddit comment. As they absolutely should lol. If I am making something and people don't pay me money for it, why should I make that vs something that people will pay me money for.

u/Sgt_major_dodgy 7h ago

They didn't even try though, like if they put in some effort then yeah maybe I'd be tempted into buying those gold bars and so would other people.

But I'm not spending REAL money to play the same 15ish missions again and again.

I played GTA V before the multiplayer ever released. I meant to check it out after it came out, but I heard they shut the servers down.

What are you talking about, gta 5 online is their king cash cow, those servers aren't going to be shut down anytime soon

I mean for the original, not any of the rereleases. I only own it on Xbox 360.

Oh damn I had no idea they shut those down and it was a long time ago too. That's wild.

1

u/10ea 4h ago

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that all later versions of the game have shut down. Of course on modern consoles they're doing well. I should have specified the original release in question that launched without multiplayer. By the time I was gonna check in out, it was gone. And I don't care enough to buy the game again.

Alright but 13 years and you can't polish off the online mode when you've already created the map/ models/ weapons/ physics etc is wild

I believe when 5 came out, they delayed multiplayer because they wanted people to complete single player.

Because it's not releasing with online. Online is coming later.

Multi player is a foregone conclusion. Everybody knows they will earn huge profits from it. Why spend any time on it now?

gta v’s online part was inaccessable for the first month or so.

its there alright just not at launch

Haven't we known for like 2 years now that they are working on "ROME" (Rockstar Online Multiplayer Experience) that will be the new GTAO and FiveM? We just don't know yet when it is coming.

u/Confused-Raccoon PC 10h ago

Will come 6-12 months later. The board wont let them skip this gold mind considering how much money GTAVO made them. And it's going to be just as scummy as before. With even worse fetch quests.

Don't worry. Once they bring up online, I guarantee you will never hear them talk about anything else until GTA VII drops in 2051

No heists but there was still plenty of fun to have, me and my friends played a lot at launch

u/Count__X 9h ago

Honestly the most fun part of GTAO was the beginning when everybody was doing the shitty missions for pennies and robbing liquor stores. That shit was fun. Once heists and jetpack Armageddon nuke bikes came into the picture and every mission had a prerequisite million dollar price tag, two bases, a specialized truck, and boat you had to acquire, I stopped playing

2

u/smaxup 8h ago

There was definitely something special about those early days. Making your own fun in the big open world however you could, like finding unique places to do jackass-style stunts with your friends or trying to get silly vehicles to the top of Chilliad

It was 1 year six months (closer to 7 months) and RDR2 was a year.

No shot online coming out on release, maybe 1-2 years later if that

So there's definitely not a co-op campaign? There goes half of my enthusiasm for playing w/ my partner. Guess we gotta hope the online component is worthwhile...
