GTA 6 pre-orders are live: pricing, editions, and the pre-order bonus explained
Standard is $79.99, Ultimate is $99.99 — and everyone who pre-orders before November 20 gets the same bonus pack regardless of edition.
Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, across PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Rockstar's own storefront, and major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop. Rockstar confirmed two editions at the same time: Standard Edition at $79.99 and Ultimate Edition at $99.99. There's no separate Collector's Edition this time, despite plenty of speculation pointing toward one.
The Ultimate Edition's extra $20 buys an exclusive set of premium vehicles, apparel, and personalized weapons on top of the base game — cosmetic and convenience items rather than anything that changes the story or core gameplay.
Anyone who pre-orders before November 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack regardless of which edition they choose, so the bonus is tied to ordering early rather than spending more. Worth knowing if you're trying to decide between editions on a budget — picking Standard doesn't cost you the bonus.
One detail that's caught some people off guard: the physical version isn't a traditional disc. It's a code in a box, which you redeem to download the full game. Digital pre-orders can start pre-loading from November 12, 2026, a week ahead of launch, so the game is fully downloaded and ready the moment it unlocks.
