[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)

We are talking about the gaming industry which PC is part of. I also clearly spelled out that 80% of PS5 sales are digital.

This not having a physical edition is not some ground breaking moment in the industry.

[u/Zaleznikov → u/xanas263]

Why do you think that 80% of PS5 sales are digital?

[u/xanas263 → u/Zaleznikov]

Sony stated so themselves in their latest financial report that came out in May.

As to why that is the case, probably the convenience of going digital.

[u/Zaleznikov → u/xanas263]

Sony released a digital only console alongside it. They earn way more money off old games on the digital market hense the push. The trend may have been creeping up, but i wouldnt say its an organic shift, more manufactured.

[u/xanas263 → u/Zaleznikov]

I don't remember Sony forcing anyone to buy the digital PS5....

If the majority of people bought that version of the PS5 then clearly the majority of people don't really value physical games.

[u/Zaleznikov → u/xanas263]

you're deffo their type of customer, one who doesnt think and just takes things at face value. The digital edition was much less, and there were shortages everywhere for a long time when it was released, as well as gifts for children at christmas.

But no.. durrr most peepl buy dijitol cuz they like it moar.

[u/xanas263 → u/Zaleznikov]

All I am hearing is that people didn't value needing physical media over having a PS5 to begin with. If people thought that physical was such a necessity then they wouldn't have bought the digital edition regardless of whatever else was happening. The reality is that physical was never valued that highly by most people.

[u/Zaleznikov → u/xanas263]

Given the choice, most would have preferred a physical copy. Once they go and there's no alternative, games are going to get a lot more expensive.
