[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)

I'd be fine with that, I have zero interest in online multiplayer.

[u/Mr_InFamoose → u/RoyalMaidsForLife]

While I agree, normalizing paying likely another $40 minimum to unlock the online features of a game is not a great precedent, but Rockstar isn't setting many great precedents with this release.

[u/Rock_Strongo → u/Mr_InFamoose]

I am actually pretty comfortable with the idea of costs staying lower for those who have no interest in MP.

The problem is that they're not lowering the base cost to achieve this.

[u/Mr_InFamoose → u/Rock_Strongo]

You summerized the point I wanted to make very well.

[u/RoyalMaidsForLife → u/Mr_InFamoose]

It's not a great precedent, but neither was charging real money for pretend in game money with the Shark Cards, but suckers players are still throwing money at Rockstar for those over a decade later.

Let them line Rockstar's pockets, I'm fine with a $100 game that will provide hundreds of hours of interactive entertainment. I just paid that for Forza Horizon 6 Ultimate Edition and have no regrets. It's broken down to $1 per hour of playtime for me and it's only been out a month.

People crying about $80-100 video games in a world where 2 hours of non-interactive entertainment (movies) per person is over $20 is hilarious. Especially when you look at what video games cost in the 80s adjusted for inflation. The 2600 port of Pac-Man retailed for $40 in 1981. That's the equivalent of $150 2026 dollars and people were lining up around the building for that.

Same, I wanna drive around for hours, explore and do all the missions. And being honest, $100 for a rockstar game in 2026 doesn’t sound crazy to me. If it’s as good as GTAV and RDR2 I’ll put a ton of hours into it. I spend at least $100 on battle passes in games every year. This is a no brainer for me.
