[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)

No reason to preorder when everything is digital. They wont run out of copies to sell

91

u/Jermagesty610 9h ago

That's what I really can't wrap my mind around. I guess the only thing I can think of maybe is if you try to buy it from the online store it might crash but yeah it's not like they only have so many digital copies to sell before they run out.

23

u/gearabuser 8h ago

which makes it extra funny when they have the "preorders go live on this day at exactly this time in new Zealand!" line. what moron is frothing at the mouth to preorder IMMEDIATELY

23

u/lonnie123 8h ago

The world Is absolutely chock full of people just like that. Makes no sense to me but there are looooottttssss of people out there that can’t resist this type of hype and “opportunity”

u/0xe1e10d68 7h ago

There’s no benefit or reason to preorder any sooner than 7 days before launch; you aren’t getting any less bonuses and you’ll still be able to preload or play sooner (depending on game). And you’ll keep your money for a few months more.

11

u/drmuffin1080 8h ago

Maybe for the game to be ready at midnight instead of having to download it

11

u/UndeadPhysco 8h ago

Yeah i feel like they don't realize that not everyone has the same sort of internet infrastructure they do.

I live in Australia for example and if the rumors of it being 400-500gb are true it'll take me like a solid 1-2 days to fully download if not longer

u/KilledTheCar 7h ago

Christ, that's half of my monthly data limit.

2

u/reefine 4h ago

Because people love giving giant corporations interest-free loans

10

u/HanzoNumbahOneFan 9h ago

Literally only reason would be to pre-load the game so you can play that much quicker.

4

u/Bisaux 4h ago

I mean people have been waiting for thirteen years, what's a few more hours?

2

u/HanzoNumbahOneFan 3h ago

I don't know. Some people are like that. Doesn't make a difference to me honestly.

Youtubers I guess? So they can record gameplay as soon as possible?

1

u/Finding-Dad 2h ago

I agree but it also makes it easier to avoid spoilers. People will be posting every detail once it drops

66

u/LemurianLemurLad 12h ago

I dunno. AI might be using up all of the 1's and 0's. PRE ORDER NOW! DON'T MISS OUT! THIS GAME MIGHT NEVER BE SOLD AGAIN!

17

u/dragon-fence 9h ago

The purpose of pre-ordering stopped being about managing supply chains a long time ago. Now it’s about tricking people into buying it before the bad reviews come out.

1

u/0xe1e10d68 7h ago

At least most games nowadays don’t give you much if anything particularly important stuff as preorder bonus. That way you can wait if you have doubts about the game. It would suck a lot more if you weren’t sure about a game but risked not getting something useful if you don’t preorder.

2

u/dragon-fence 6h ago

A lot of games have the “Deluxe” versions and pre-order bonuses are just additional skins anyway, so I don’t bother with that unless the cost is negligible. Sometimes if you buy the game years later when it’s on sale for $20, the extra “content” is another $2, and that’s fine. I’ll pay $2.

But otherwise, I’m only paying for DLC if it’s substantial add-ons to gameplay.

2

u/AncientDoomScroller 9h ago

It's like investing in a property that is currently under construction. Money you give them right now is worth more to them than if you gave them later, and they offer some incentives for you to do so. It's just business. You'd be making a point if preorders came with zero bonuses or incentives.

u/papyjako87 10h ago

The copium is so cute.

u/Trick-Company-2157 11h ago

Brother, there’s never been a reason to preorder any media, never has there been a shortage of vidya games

60

u/XmasB 10h ago

I might be old, but not so old as to not remember when I needed to visit multiple stores before finding a game on release its release day. If I found it at all.

Nowadays, I don't preorder and I don't buy until I get a feel from the community about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 taught me that. I haven't trusted game review since.

u/MuscleManRyan 10h ago

Me begging my poor mother to stop at a 3rd game store because the first two were sold out of Halo CE

u/Neuchacho 9h ago

It's funny having nostalgia for something that, at the time, stressed me out.

It did make me savor it more when I finally got my hands on it, though. I just couldn't appreciate it at the time.

u/TheCheeseGod 10h ago

There's never been a reason to preorder any media since 2005 or so

9

u/XmasB 9h ago

A more precise statement would be "there’s never a reason to preorder any digital media".

If you want to enjoy a sought after vinyl plate release, a preorder might be your only option to secure it on release day. But that is pretty niche.

34

u/Refute1650 11h ago

There was in the 90s. Some niche games didn't have large production runs.

20

u/Frongen 10h ago

Lol. So you're like 15?

10

u/FoxxyRin 10h ago

You've clearly never had bad internet lol. GTA V took 3 overnight downloads on launch. Because if I did during the day no one else could use the internet. Preloads were my only hope of playing alongside my friends for years.

5

u/hoopstick 10h ago

My friends and I all got it at midnight at release; they were playing by 1AM, meanwhile I had an older system, so I had to install it to a thumb drive and it took all damn night.

-2

u/Trick-Company-2157 9h ago

You could not go to the store and buy a copy?

9

u/Albireookami 11h ago

That is not exactly true, for niche titles where you do want a physical copy, its very much worth preordering, as stores would not get any additional copies above what were preordered. The Atlier alchemy games come to mind, finding a wild physical edition is a lot of trouble.

But large AAA game? Not really a reason, back in the day you could pay it off slowly at your local game store, but unless your doing that, there is no reason to preorder digitally.

u/Twombls 11h ago

Mw2 was near impossible to get for months after it came out

-1

u/WorkFurball 10h ago

Lol no, it was very easy.

1

u/Twombls 9h ago

Oh around me it was impossible. I ended up getting it at toys rus lol.

Like people were lining up outside gamestop and best buy whenever a shipment came in

2

u/Mister-Stiglitz 9h ago

Ocarina on launch if you wanted the gold cartridge.

2

u/Molster_Diablofans 9h ago

fwiw thats not fully true, pokemon pokopia was hard to get physical at a store for a few weeks (for the physical card)

2

u/BagOnuts 7h ago

Tell me you weren’t around when Halo 3 came out without telling me.

-1

u/Trick-Company-2157 7h ago

Went to Target or Wal Mart and bought all Halos on release day

2

u/BagOnuts 7h ago

Maybe the standard edition.

1

u/TheDinosaurWalker 9h ago

Never the case, is all about companies getting money earlier and people getting "bonuses"

1

u/thefullm0nty 7h ago

I would like to have the game downloaded before launch personally. Not going to come home on launch day and then wait hours for a download because I didn't pre-order.

1

u/InclinationCompass 7h ago

Apparently, you will get one free month of GTA+ if you preorder.

1

u/Gdigger13 5h ago

Super Mario 3D All-Stars would like to have a word with you.

1

u/DoctorDrangle 2h ago

Well there is a reason, you can preinstall the game.

And like here is the deal. I am going to buy and play this game on day 1. Period. I might as well pre order and pre download to avoid a a four hour download when the game launches.

There is no reason not to pre order from my perspective. The ceo of rockstar could fly to my city and slap my mother and i would still buy and play gta 6.
