Rockstar Games has finally revealed the price and pre-order details of “GTA VI”. This long-awaited work by players around the world has officially entered the final stage before its release. According to the official announcement, the standard version is priced at US$79.99, and the ultimate version is US$99.99. Pre-orders will be officially opened at midnight on June 25th, US time (June 26th, Taiwan time). Supported platforms include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
“GTA VI” finally announced the price, the physical version no longer includes a disc
Although the final price is slightly lower than the previously rumored “over $100” price, the starting price of $80 is still higher than the current standard for most AAA games. In the past, only Nintendo has sold its own works at similar prices, which caused a lot of discussion. Now that Rockstar has joined the high-priced ranks, it is bound to once again stir up price disputes among players.
Rockstar emphasized in the announcement, “GTA VI: Ultimate Edition” will provide a series of exclusive content, including advanced vehicles, weapons, costumes and character actions, and will run through the story lines of the protagonists Jason and Lucia, allowing players to experience “the deepest and most immersive GTA world to date.” Officials also confirmed that the game will officially launch on the PS5 and Xbox Series console platforms on November 19, with only single-player mode available at launch.
Players who pre-order will also receive additional rewards. All pre-orders will get the retro-style “Sin City” map; if you purchase the digital version, you can pre-load the game in advance on November 12. In addition, pre-orderers will receive a free month of GTA+ membership to enjoy additional benefits in GTA Online.
As for the Ultimate Edition players, they will get richer content, including retro-futuristic-style exclusive sports cars, weapons with special engravings and high-performance sights, personalized appearance of weapons, clothing and tattoo styles inspired by “Sin City”, exclusive safe house vehicles, limited modifications, styling salon privileges, streetwear sets, and exclusive garages, etc., clearly targeting experienced players and collectors.
It is worth noting that the physical version of the game will be launched on November 12, but the box only comes with a download code and does not include a disc. This decision has caused a lot of controversy in the community. Many players have questioned why Rockstar, as a developer with strong financial resources, does not provide a traditional disc version. For many collectors, owning a physical disc is the value in itself, not to mention a series with huge cultural influence like GTA.
Some players speculate that Rockstar may have canceled the disc version to reduce the risk of pre-launch leaks, while also curbing resale behavior in the second-hand market. However, this approach has also significantly reduced the value of physical collections, which is undoubtedly a big blow to fans who are looking forward to a “complete collection”.

With the official disclosure of price, version content and pre-order information, “GTA VI” is one step closer to launch. Although decisions such as the high price and the lack of discs in the physical version continue to trigger discussions, this new game in the series, which has not been released for ten years, is still one of the most watched focuses in the gaming industry this year. Next, players’ eyes will be focused on whether Rockstar can deliver a final product in November that is enough to match its high expectations.
