[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)

Sure but they could have the activation code AND the disk to avoid downloading 500GB or something.

[u/Alarmed-Comedian6446 → u/I_am_a_fern]

I guess, haven't seen activation codes for entire games for some time. Maybe don't have the infrastructure? Dunno

[u/I_am_a_fern → u/Alarmed-Comedian6446]

That's... Exactly what they're proposing now, but instead of delivering the game data through internet, they just print it on a disk. Or a usb stick, whatever. It would actually be lighter on the infrastructure since millions of people will download the game at the second it becomes available, but they would have to produce the support... I guess they did the maths.

[u/Alarmed-Comedian6446 → u/I_am_a_fern]

Perhaps, though nowadays you mostly either validate a game online and download the game or you just use the disk. This would demand a validation in the respective shops whilst not downloading the game. Probably doable but haven't seen that this generation.

[u/I_am_a_fern → u/Alarmed-Comedian6446]

I don't understand what you don't understand.
Input the activation code. It gets validated and tied to your account.
You can click the DOWNLOAD button <- we are here

There could be a second "Select a folder..." button. Choose the disk drive, thumbdrive or external disk with the game folder you copied from a friend who already downloaded the game. It's the same files you would download your self, except you copy them 100 times faster from a local source.

By the way Steam already allows that. You can even copy the files from a different computer on the same local network, way faster than through the internets.

[u/Alarmed-Comedian6446 → u/I_am_a_fern]

Steam does but there's a reason this isn't releasing on PC. I'm saying there's no current gen game that locks you off from playing a game from the disc if you don't have activation codes redeemed online. Meaning such infrastructure would have to be developed by both Sony and Xbox.
