GTA VI Price Tag Finally Drops: Preorders Go Live at Midnight

June 24, 2026 - 22:04

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the pricing for the long-awaited "Grand Theft Auto VI," ending months of speculation and rumors. The standard digital edition of the game will retail at $69.99, matching the current industry standard for next-generation titles. However, the company also announced a premium "Collector's Edition" priced at $149.99, which includes exclusive in-game content, a digital art book, and a special soundtrack.

Preorders are set to begin at midnight tonight across all major platforms. In a surprising move, Rockstar confirmed that there will be no physical disc-based version of GTA VI at launch. This marks a major shift for the franchise, which has historically relied on boxed copies. The decision aligns with the industry's broader push toward digital-only releases, though it has already sparked debate among collectors and fans who prefer owning a tangible copy.

The game is expected to launch in late 2025, with early access for those who preorder the premium edition. Rockstar also hinted at a potential subscription-tier bonus for players on certain services, though details remain scarce. With preorders opening soon, the company is bracing for massive server demand, as GTA VI is widely considered one of the most anticipated games in history.
