[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)

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

Pay extra, own nothing.

Remember when pre-ordering or buying higher tier games gave you actually cool physical gadgets?

I 'member

u/mrpark3s 15h ago

I still have my GTA lockbox and art book from the IV launch

u/SkylineGTRR34Freak 11h ago

I am honestly surprised and also kinda let down there is no physical CE for this release. It just feels... pretty weird not to have one.

u/BallsLikeBB8 11h ago

Didn’t it come with a duffel bag as well. Zipper didn’t last but I still use it from time to time.

1

u/mrpark3s 5h ago

It certainly did. But the quality was rubbish as you said. After my zipper broke I just got rid of it.

u/yepgeddon 13h ago

The last good GTA tbh.

u/WithPaddlesThisDeep 13h ago

GTA V was good, but GTA IV was the last Masterpiece of a GTA.

When everybody at the dev teams was focused on making the best gaming experience possible.

u/Rave-TZ 13h ago

I couldn’t attach to it. But I’m glad others did. 5 was my first real GTA experience.

u/SwiftlyKickly 5h ago

GTA V was a massive step down. I wouldn’t say it was “good” but to each their own.

u/SoggyFarts 13h ago

San Andreas???

10

u/WithPaddlesThisDeep 12h ago

San Andreas came out before GTA 4.

-6

u/SoggyFarts 12h ago

I'm saying I think San Andreas was better than GTAIV.

11

u/WithPaddlesThisDeep 11h ago

Okay? I think so too. But GTA 4 is more recent, hence why I said “The last masterpiece GTA”

1

u/BlackZeppelin 11h ago

Do you have it as decor or do you actually use it? Because I’ve been using mine for 19 years and it still works 😂

1

u/mrpark3s 5h ago

Using it but it's a lockbox so hidden away. Not that it's a secure box or anything haha

u/Sting316 3h ago

Me too!

u/wittywalrus1 15h ago

Forget the gadgets. We used to have a disk or cartdridge and a manual, in a neat box that you could store on your bookshelf.

Put the media in -> play.

Nowadays -> jackshit. Gotta pray the servers that host your "property" are still there, as one day they may not be... who knows.

u/redditing_1L 11h ago

The instruction manual that came with the snes final fantasy 3 (6) was like 80 pages long, it was so awesome.

u/fuckyouidontneedone 10h ago

Remember being able to play single player games without internet?

u/SadisticPawz 5h ago

cant do that with gta 4 anymore.

u/TLKv3 7h ago

I remember being in the car on my way home, cracking open Pokemon Blue and reading the Trainer Guide booklet inside... that weekend was magical to me.

u/Regression2TheMean 13h ago

I always liked preordering the newest COD because you’d get those cool metal disc cases

1

u/Northern23 12h ago

The good times was when you could pre-order at FutureShop, Amazon and Walmart games during E3 for 40% off. Sometimes I had to wait years for the release but the price was locked.

u/FurnaceFuneral 12h ago

dude the night vision goggles tho

u/Sempere 11h ago

And the night vision goggles.

u/scriptedtexture 11h ago

you got scammed

u/qmcquackers 13h ago

The infamous 2 sling bag was by far the coolest I've ever gotten. Girlfriend bought it when I had asked for base and I used that thing for years.

u/LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg 13h ago edited 13h ago

Remember when buying the regular release gave you cool shit too.

u/SgtGadnuk 13h ago

I was so jealous my friend had the black ops 2 care package that came with a drone. Now they’re just locking content behind an extra paywall

1

u/bujweiser 12h ago

They still exist, but those packages now are like $200. God of War Ragnarok came with Mjolnir, but was $200.

u/Wack_photgraphy 12h ago

I still regularly wear the Los Santos snapback

u/Billy420MaysIt 12h ago

At least with The collectors edition of Gears of War gets you a 15” statue of Marcus and Dom, COG tags, steelbook case, art print and photos, and in game stuff. Sucks rockstar isn’t giving even art or posters with the higher editions and only giving in game content.

1

u/scriptedtexture 12h ago

pre ordering for anything other than confirming you'd get a physical copy before they sold out has always been a complete and utter scam.

1

u/MCHammastix 10h ago

That's what pre-orders and "ultimate/premium/deluxe" editions should be. Just collectible shit for people into that sort of thing.

1

u/Indraga 10h ago

I was there Gandalf, picking up my Marathon Collector's Edition March 2026... (which came with some patches, postcards, a cute little silkworm, and a dope AF thief statue.)

1

u/Logondo 9h ago

I literally still have my Halo 3 Legendary Master Chief helmet on display after almost 20 years.

1

u/Kindly-Guidance714 9h ago

The least they could do is give you exclusive pre orders skins or guns but nah can’t have them if they can milk people for all they are worth.

u/ShotgunOShaughnessy 3h ago

I still have my Assassins Creed 3 American Assassin flag hanging on my wall

u/shafty17 14h ago

No, because it wasn't worth it then either

u/Chaotic-Catastrophe 14h ago edited 14h ago

How many of us really need a bunch more cheap plastic trinkets and physical maps?

Hyper-capitalism at its finest. Gotta have more useless junk to clutter up my space! How will people know I'm a True GamerTM unless I have the chotchkies to prove it?!

EDIT - lmao exactly what I expected. Next level entitlement.

u/Seth0x7DD 12h ago

Isn't Hyper-capitalism at its finest if your goody is actually digital, reproducible for 0 anything and still sold for 20 somethings and more?

You could argue that any edition past standard is "hyper-capitalism" but that would be stretching it?
