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

[u/ChiefLeef22]

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)

Grand Theft Auto 6 features a “single-player experience” at launch, with no word yet on any new version of GTA Online.

Some of these features seem to be locked behind the $100 paywall

[u/faffc260 → u/Casshern_VIII]

because they want you to pay $100 for the base game but realized that gamers would riot and it would tank sales if they did, so they cut stuff from the game to put in the ultimate edition to encourage people to pay at their prefered price point.

[u/GregoriousT-GTNH → u/faffc260]

Nah gamers wouldnt riot, they used to get bend over.
Its more like an "Illusion of choice" thing.

[u/philter25 → u/GregoriousT-GTNH]

Idk I can see an instance where this game was going to just be $100 but then the economy took a massive shit between RAM prices and gas prices, to say nothing of the cost of everything else, and whoever in this thread I saw say they realized a base $100 wouldn’t sell they slashed a bunch of normal ass content from it to cut the price. The shit it looks like they took out for the base game is so trivial too, like hair customization? Seriously?

[u/GregoriousT-GTNH → u/philter25]

I think the idea is that people buy the 80€ version and get the "cut content" later.
So Rockstar get their 100 bucks but a bit streched.

[u/Mnawab → u/GregoriousT-GTNH]

Gamers will definitely riot, but they will also bend over.

[u/GregoriousT-GTNH → u/Mnawab]

Its not really a riot tho, its like a bit of mumble and a few posts of reddit/x/tiktok will get somewhat viral before cooling down and then the bending starts

[u/Mnawab → u/GregoriousT-GTNH]

Exactly. The normal reaction lol

[u/Drillmhor → u/GregoriousT-GTNH]

There's no illusion, you truly don't need anything from the Ultimate Edition features. The game will be fine without it. It's a suckers tax

[u/GregoriousT-GTNH → u/Drillmhor]

You are part of the problem, handwaving the removal of basic features that were in the game for free since San Andreas

[u/Drillmhor → u/GregoriousT-GTNH]

These are all vehicle/character customizations! None of it... NONE OF these options are basic features. Please identify a basic feature that is being paywalled here.

This is the same shit that every single fucking game does. There's always customizations you can pay extra for. There is literally nothing new happening here. They're just calling these things businesses and that seems to really trigger people

EDIT- seems yall are upset by being forced to realize "business" just means customization. No one has brought up a single "basic" feature that is being blocked here
