This is the honest, official breakdown of what GTA 6 actually costs — the confirmed standard price, every edition and pre-order bonus, and where to buy. No placeholder leaks, no hype headlines. Just the numbers Rockstar put on the page.
The confirmed standard price
The standard edition of GTA 6 — the full base game, no extras — is officially $79.99 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Confirmed by Rockstar Games alongside the June 25, 2026 pre-order launch.
For context on how that lands versus expectations: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had signalled a $70–$80 range in line with current AAA pricing. The official number landed at the very top of that range — a $10 jump over the traditional $70 AAA price point.
Every edition and what it costs
Here are the official editions as listed at reveal — the real, confirmed tiers, replacing the rumored ones we tracked before launch.
| Edition | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | The base game | $79.99 |
| Ultimate Edition | Exclusive vehicles (Grotti Cheetah, Vapid Dominator Buggy, Shitzu Squalo), the Wyman Classic Car Collection, exclusive shops, engraved weapons, and Vice City Style outfits — see the full edition breakdown | $99.99 |
A physical/collector's tier has not been confirmed by Rockstar. Treat any collector's-edition price you see elsewhere as rumor until it's on an official storefront.
Pre-order bonuses
The Vintage Vice City Pack is included free with every digital purchase made before November 20, 2026 (physical pre-orders get a redeemable code) — see the full contents in our pre-order & editions guide. Digital pre-orders also include a free month of GTA+.
Where to pre-order
Pre-orders are live at the PlayStation Store, Xbox, the Rockstar Games Store, and select retail partners. Our full walk-through — editions compared, what to have ready, and the fine print — is in the GTA 6 pre-order & editions guide.
What this means for the leaks
Before the reveal, the loudest number online was a leaked $80 standard-edition listing. We covered it in our price & budget breakdown as unconfirmed — the listing used placeholder filler codes, so it wasn't an official price at the time. Now that Rockstar has published the real number, here's how it held up: the leak was essentially right — $79.99 is a rounding error from the $80 figure everyone was passing around. Being skeptical of an unverified listing was still the correct call; it just turned out to be a good guess.
