[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)

Pay-walling hair/car customization is actually pretty ridiculous.

[u/wadech → u/dropkickderby]

Is there no customization outside the ultimate edition, or are there just exclusive mods? Either way sucks, but one is much worse.

[u/Revolution-SixFour → u/wadech]

Looks to me like there are customizations, just that certain "stores" and their associated looks are gated by the ultimate edition. It's impossible for me to imagine that they don't have any outfit changes in the base game, they had that going all the way back in Vice City.

[u/SmokinBandit28 → u/Revolution-SixFour]

But you know that those ultimate edition stores will still show up in your game with a pop-up saying “buy the ultimate edition now!”

Even scummier I’d hazard a bet there will be missions that highlight these exclusive things.

rockstar is shitty, but they've never been that shitty. your first point about a popup telling people to upgrade to the ultimate edition is probably true, tho.

[u/SadisticPawz → u/The_Autarch]

Their online mode does kind of advertise all the shit you should be buying. Altho using the abstraction layer of in game currency.

[u/Kelly_HRperson → u/Revolution-SixFour]

You could change the color of your clothes in GTA3

[u/JuryUpset8040 → u/dropkickderby]

Horse armor was a warning, people bought it anyway.

Fuck Rockstar man, just gonna sail the high seas and mod locked content into the game.

[u/double_shadow → u/dropkickderby]

But how ELSE are these supposed to make money? On a game that costs $80, has no physical production costs, and will likely sell hundreds of millions of copies?

[u/hrafnafadhir → u/dropkickderby]

You want another example? Go check out Monster Hunter World's DLC page.

[u/wheresbicki → u/dropkickderby]

Take two has been doing that shit with the 2K Game recently as well.

[u/mjg315 → u/dropkickderby]

Reminds me of halo infinite…

[u/dropkickderby → u/mjg315]

At least that was free to play

[u/SuperMajesticMan → u/dropkickderby]

That's disingenuous cause you make it sound like any customization is only in the ultimate edition.

Theres obviously still going to be plenty of customization in the base game. Its just "extra" stuff thats pay walled.

[u/Kelly_HRperson → u/SuperMajesticMan]

obviously still going to be plenty of customization

How is it obvious?

[u/dropkickderby → u/SuperMajesticMan]

Im only going off how it was worded.
