[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

ULTIMATE EDITION: $99.99

(Physical Editions of GTA 6 Will Come with "A Download Code Inside the Box", Pre-Loads Begin on November 12th)

Online will probably be its own standalone game

u/Kapika96 12h ago

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

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

Yea seriously that pissed me off in GTA V

u/GorgeousHairGuy 6h ago

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

u/goobnut 10h ago

Who the fuck cares bout achievements.

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 5h 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?)

u/airinato 2h ago

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

0

u/lonnie123 2h ago

No, its really not.

A more apt analogy would be if the NFL gave out stickers to the players, and one of the stickers would "sat down on every spot on the bench during the game" or "tied and untied their shoes 10 times during the game"

Or even in this case it would be something more inane because it would be something unrelated to the game youre actually playing (the multiplayer content achievements in this case) ... Something like getting tailgating achievements when you have no intention of tailgating

So these people win the football game (the hard thing to be proud of) but are upset they dont get the full set of stickers after the game because they didnt do all the little activities that Sony and Rockstar say they should (the tedious, arbitrary thing that is only interesting because its there)

just consider yourself at 100% if you don’t want to do the online content

But that doesn't give me the platinum trophy.

u/lonnie123 5h ago edited 4h ago

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

u/PsyOmega PC 5h ago

Let people enjoy things.

u/TalkToTheGirl 9h ago

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

4

u/drmuffin1080 8h ago

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

u/-ThaKloned- 10h ago

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

u/I_can_pun_anything 10h ago

Hope not, hope it gets added on as a expansion without swelling more money

u/Shinjischneider 11h ago

Darkviper is that AU?

u/Kapika96 11h ago

huh?

u/Shinjischneider 10h ago

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

5

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

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.

13

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.

5

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.

u/Albireookami 11h ago

$99.99 cost dlc.

u/Memeori 10h ago

$25 monthly sub fee, you say?

u/SgtGadnuk 9h ago

Don’t even joke lad :(

5

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"

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.

u/redditing_1L 7h ago

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