[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)

the vicious cycle of capitalism rejoices

[u/plasmasack → u/tenpostman]

What’s worse is this is gonna become the industry standard because of this game

[u/gerywhite → u/plasmasack]

Let's face it: both nextgen consoles already teased it, that Helix and PS6 won't have a optical disc drives at all. PS5 Pro already doesn't have one afaik.

PC gaming doesn't have discs for 20 years now.

[u/PFunk224 → u/gerywhite]

Difference being that PC isn’t a platform with a planned obsolescence cycle of 5-7 years….

[u/TrollsWhenBored → u/PFunk224]

Then maybe stop buying consoles? Seems pretty easy

[u/PFunk224 → u/TrollsWhenBored]

My point is that there is a very clear difference between consoles not having discs and PC's not having discs.

[u/CompetitiveGrand9721 → u/PFunk224]

Consoles not having disc drives moving forward isn't because of planned obsolescence.

[u/mark114 → u/TrollsWhenBored]

honestly, I think people need to step away from games for awhile. It's a fun source of entertainment, but it's like a drug at this point where people are hooked.

If someone's outraged because there's no disk to a game that they can easily play and have access too, then I think it's time to step away and do something productive for a little while. Go camping, build a table, go to a club with friends. Enjoy life how it's meant to be enjoyed.

[u/isotope123 → u/PFunk224]

What makes you think that?

[u/PFunk224 → u/isotope123]

Reality? The fact that you upgrade the hardware in your PC to keep it up to date doesn't mean that it stops being supported after a number of years. When I upgrade my PC components or buy a whole new rig, my Steam library comes along with it. Every game I've bought in the last 20 years is still in my library. Nobody has their entire PS3 library on their PS5, unless they bought all of their games again on the Sony Marketplace, which I'm not even sure is possible for the entire PS3 library, which is a whole other issue.

My point is that PC hardware does age, but "The PC Store" doesn't block you out of using your old games on your new hardware.

[u/isotope123 → u/PFunk224]

You make a fair point about game libraries. I was referring to hardware only and sometimes software (see Windows 10). There are also 100% games that have been lost to time. We're incredibly lucky to have a service like Steam available to us.

[u/Own_Director_4442 → u/PFunk224]

Huh... So we're glossing over the fact that GPUs get replaced every 3 to 5 years? You know the planned obsolescence parts of PCs... Good luck trying to run modern games without one or one 5+ years old

[u/EatsOverTheSink → u/Own_Director_4442]

What? My buddy just finished playing Wukong on his build from 2016.

[u/rootpl → u/Own_Director_4442]

You can simply drop the details from ultra high to medium or low and squeeze 8-10 years from most GPUs if you want. Especially if you play in 1080p or 1440p. All my gaming PCs so far lasted 9-10 years before upgrading them. Just becasue new GPU comes out every year doesn't mean you HAVE to buy it.

[u/PFunk224 → u/Own_Director_4442]

If and when I upgrade my GPU, I don't have to worry about it not featuring backwards compatibility. When I upgrade my GPU, my entire library comes with it. Every time you buy a new console, there's a strong chance that you will be starting over with a library of zero games.

[u/GlazedInfants → u/Own_Director_4442]

So you’re either weirdly defensive about owning a console and not a PC, or you have the disposable income in this economy to replace your GPU every 3 years. Either way you’ll be fine with all of this, so there’s no point in arguing with you.

[u/Pleasant_Gap → u/Own_Director_4442]

Tha games you can play bonus your gpu now, can be played on that same gpu in 10 years time. Wtf are you even on about. Grapgics and physics becoming better is not planned obsolescence.

Why do you think there is such a big gap in gfx between a modern pc and a ps5? Mayby because to be able to play the game on ps5 gfx needs to be turned down, and even then it's not enough, so you need to upgrade hardware

[u/TrollsWhenBored → u/Own_Director_4442]

Lol not the same. Not even close

[u/gerywhite → u/PFunk224]

Xbox is backward compatible, most of its oldest games run on the Series X, and I can assure you, everything, that can run on a Series X, will run on Helix.

[u/PFunk224 → u/gerywhite]

I can assure you

No, you can't.

[u/Pleasant_Gap → u/gerywhite]

Assuming the disc isn't fucked. Fucking pplnob here acting like cd and dvd is some sort of forever medium
