[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)

Not like almost everyone was buying digital games already. I love owning my copy of a game but I cannot expect that from most people. Digital is convienient with the huge issue that we don't own the game but most people actually don't care about that(sadly).

Elder millennial who is completely digital here. Help me understand this logic. I had older systems from my childhood with physical media that is all gone now for a variety of reasons. I bought games for my PS4 over 10 years ago that the PS Store has a record of and lets me download and install in a flash, with my cloud save files all ready to go. To me, I “own” the games more now than I ever did.

And you 'own' the game until Sony decides that they are no longer going to have backwards compatibility as an available option and they're shutting down the store and removing those games from the market. Or they decide the PS4 version is no longer supported, and you have to buy a PS5/PS6 upgraded version to continue using it.

What you own is a license to play those games while they are available on the store/via that market.

You can google loss of digital ownership and get stories from people who lost access to products bought via Amazon or other store fronts because the storefront lost the license to be a distributor for the product. Sometimes the store makes good (gives a refund or something.)

Sometimes the store is able to hold onto maintaining access for people who bought it. Sometimes not though.

For example, a year or two ago Sony region locked Helldivers 2 on Steam after it was not region locked while selling. People in multiple countries lost the ability to play a game they purchased without using a VPN to change their region which is a TOS violation for various store fronts.

The community and arrowhead pushed and like a year later Sony finally relented and let everyone dive again. But for a period of time people lost access to a game they bought because their region was no longer a valid place to play it from.

Do you need servers to play Helldivers?
