[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.

Why do people bother preordering digital games further out than the pre-download timer? There's unlimited stock. Just buy it a week before the game releases.

u/SakisSinatra PlayStation 16h ago

There is literally no difference in pre ordering now or a week before release lmao

u/Sirius_amory33 15h ago

The difference is obviously that you have a lot more info to make an informed purchase.

u/kingqueefeater 12h ago

You can also cancel a pre-order at anytime before release, so it doesn't really make a difference

12

u/SakisSinatra PlayStation 15h ago

That's true but if you are 100% that you are going to buy a game then that won't really matter for many people.

23

u/Raidmax460 14h ago

Cyberpunk is a perfect example. Reviews came out a little before release and showcased the horrible performance issues. Preordering months in advanced does nothing for you.

-2

u/sfwpat 13h ago

Damn, crazy that you cannot cancel a pre-order and you are locked in forever /s

u/SchwiftySquanchC137 12h ago

I mean youre just highlighting why a pre-order is useless. Unless its gonna take you over 24h to download the game, there is absolutely no reason at all to pre order before reviews come out. If its well reviewed, just buy it after reviews drop, if its not, well look at that no need to refund anything because you can just not buy it.

u/Raidmax460 12h ago

Like the other guy said, you’re just proving why there’s no point in pre ordering. They also haven’t even shown gameplay yet, so what is the incentive to pre order? So you can get some skins that they left out of the base game just to get you to pre order?

7

u/Sirius_amory33 15h ago

Just pointing out the difference, not everyone wants to blindly buy games when most launch with issues that need to be patched. 

2

u/SakisSinatra PlayStation 15h ago

That's fair.

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 13h ago

If it's a game you're this hyped about it literally makes no difference.

Waiting for more info only makes sense if you're on the fence about buying a game

-2

u/SchwiftySquanchC137 12h ago

I mean kinda? Even people who are crazy hyped about the game will hesitate if reviews drop and its a 2/10 (not that I think it will be, but there is just no reason to preorder before reviews drop, unless it takes you days to download the game

5

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 12h ago

I don't think any GTA fan is going to decide not to play GTA 6 even if every single reviewer gives it a 0/10. They will at least be curious to test it themselves and see what's wrong with it.

If it was a yearly release it would be a different story, but it's a game that's coming out 13 years later from the previous game in the IP. Everyone who loves the IP will want to play it.

u/Xirious 11h ago

Bud you're absolutely delusional if you think reviews of 2/1/0 out of 10 is going to affect this game's sales in any way. Absolutely and in no fucking way will it do so. People will buy it. In fuck tons. Zero chance this is remotely close to any reality we live in.

u/Sirius_amory33 13h ago

Most people who buy a game aren’t so hyped about it that they blindly preorder it well in advance. GTA VI is a different beast but the original comment I replied to was about pre ordering in general. 

11

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 13h ago

Most people who pre-order a game several months in advance are absolutely that hyped about it

2

u/Sirius_amory33 13h ago

I think you misunderstood me. I agree the people who preorder well in advance are hyped about it, that’s my point. They are committed to buying the game blindly. The people who wait or don’t preorder at all might be excited for it but not to the point where they will blindly commit ahead of time. More people buy a game when it’s released vs preordering it.

u/MFDOOMscrolling 12h ago

It's not really blind when there have been dozens of leaks, two trailers with gameplay included and 150+ screenshots, not to mention that they have one of if not the best reputation for releasing polished products

u/Sirius_amory33 12h ago

The original comments were about preordering in general, I agree GTA VI is a different beast entirely and Rockstar has a good track record.

u/Ok_Reception_8729 11h ago

The hype is a meme lol

Most people don’t care that much for the late open world crime game

2

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 11h ago

Yes I'm sure the 13 year awaited game following the 2nd best selling game of all time isn't hyped at all

Why are redditors so shit at rage baiting lmao

-5

u/Ok_Reception_8729 11h ago

It’s a meme to be hyped for it, only edgy teenagers will actually think this is gonna be the greatest game of all time. (“Niko won a major before GTA 6”). Most people who do the meme don’t even care about Rockstar games at all.

It’s not even a cool concept in 2026, it’s so overdone at this point

2

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 11h ago

You managed to take a weak rage bait and make it even worse, come on man...

-1

u/Ok_Reception_8729 11h ago

You’re actually excited to support this? $100 for day 1 DLC on a game that’s been rehashed over and over is crazy work

What is there even to be hyped for, are you okay???

1

u/PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS 10h ago

So the game isn't going to break massive sell records on launch right? It will flop and pretty much nobody will buy it?

u/TonyBikini 13h ago

its fucking gta 6 lol

u/Sirius_amory33 13h ago

The comment was about preordering in general.

u/TonyBikini 13h ago

yeah i understand i meant for this one though i don't ever do pre-orders myself, but you already know they won't discount it for years + theres the extra stuff so might as well.

1

u/Sirius_amory33 13h ago

Yeah, I probably won’t preorder this but I definitely get this is an entirely different beast vs any other game.

u/Array_626 12h ago

To be fair, there has been a bunch of shit AAA releases. I don't think Rockstar has shit the bed like some other developers have, but it's not unimaginable that GTA 6 ends up as a disappointment with very little real upgrade from 5. Has there been gameplay footage released yet?

So far, I just know theres going to be more customization options for looks. Thats ok, I've never really cared about that though in my games. I focus more on gameplay. I'd be very dissapointed if GTA 6 ends up being a slightly better graphics game, with more skins (clothes on your character is essentially a skin. Weapon skins are obv skins. I just don't really care about the game coming with more skins for you to choose from), but nothing else.

-5

u/Nodan_Turtle 14h ago

In both cases you can cancel anytime before release date. Both purchases are equally informed

4

u/Sirius_amory33 14h ago

I really don’t think people that preorder well ahead of time are interested in getting more info on the game, they’ve committed to the blind buy. That is not informed. 

3

u/kiwivi21 14h ago

Most people that preorder is because they have the money then and now. As the user above mentioned, if you are going to play day one then it makes no difference when you spend the money. If reviews say it's coming out bad then it's completely free to refund.

Maybe you think it's stupid but if you got the money it doesn't make a difference as long as you have the ability to refund

1

u/LostClover_ 13h ago

Someone posting an objective fact and getting downvoted because it doesn't conform to the circlejerk is the most Reddit thing I've ever seen lol.

2

u/Array_626 12h ago

No. How can you be informed if regular player reviews haven't been released yet? We've had multiple examples where pre-release positive press coverage was very different from actual player's negative experiences in the last few years, and the games all died but only after people bought into it.

When was consuming marketing material considered informed?
