Rockstar confirms GTA 6's price, no physical disc version

GTA 6 will cost $80 for the standard version and will not ship on a disc at launch--physical editions come with a code in a box.

Rockstar Games today made an announcement that should make GTA 6 a far more profitable game. The publisher says that GTA 6's price tag starts at $79.99 in the United States, with pre-orders opening up later tonight at midnight on June 25, 2026. Physical media fans will be disappointed that GTA 6's physical box version will come with a code instead of the full game shipping on the disc.

The reason why Rockstar might be to ensure no leaks happen, and to make sure that everyone can jump into the game at the same time. "The physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI, containing a download code inside the box, will be available starting November 12 to support pre-loading," Rockstar says.

Aforementioned pre-loading will begin on all platforms starting November 12, for all editions of the game.

Rockstar also confirmed a $100 Ultimate Edition with extra bonuses including vanity items and cosmetics, as well as actual in-game bonuses including cars for Jason and Lucia.

All pre-orders of GTA 6 will receive access to the Vintage Vice City pack, a bunch of cosmetics that call back to the original Vice City launched on PlayStation 2, as well as nods to films and TV shows of the era.

GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, pre-orders begin tonight at midnight, and pre-loads begin a week before the game launches.
