GTA 6 AU and NZ PlayStation Pages Are Live and Priced

by 6Charts Team Category: news 5 min read

CONFIRMED by this desk's editor: https://store.playstation.com/{locale}/product/EP1004-PPSA38500_00-GTAVISTANDARD001 on six locales, all HTTP 200 between 2026-09-29T03:19:24Z and 2026-09-29T03:19:34Z, with en-au at 454,256 bytes and en-nz at 453,676 bytes serving full product pages while en-us at 66,417 bytes, en-gb at 66,593 bytes, de-de at 66,916 bytes and ja-jp at 63,142 bytes serve error routes. Read out of the en-au page: Standard basePrice $129.95, Ultimate $159.95, Ultimate Edition Upgrade Unavailable, releaseDate 2026-11-18T13:00:00Z, rating name ACB_CTC, and the three product names. Read out of en-nz: Standard $139.95, Ultimate $174.95, Upgrade Unavailable, releaseDate 2026-11-18T11:00:00Z, and ACB_CTC present four times. THIS DESK'S OWN ARITHMETIC: the Ultimate Edition costs A$30.00 more than Standard in Australia and NZ$35.00 more in New Zealand; both release dates resolve to midnight local on 19 November 2026 once the November offset is applied; and 29 September to 19 November 2026 is 51 days. CORRECTION TO THIS DESK'S OWN PRIOR PUBLISHING, stated in the copy: this desk reported that the PPSA38500 id answered a 204 error and left the impression the listing was missing. PlayStation Store product routes are gated by locale, the listing is complete from the storefronts it belongs to, and the earlier reading was right about the response and wrong about its meaning. REPORTED on researcher 1's retrieval, not the editor's: the mirror image in which the global id EP1004-PPSA01547_00 answers a 204 route on ja-jp, en-au and en-nz; Rockstar's own SKU title string PlayStation First Party Link Out SKU (Global less AU,NZ,JP); and the United States PPSA38500 ids both answering at 66,417 bytes. LIMITS printed in full: when the AU and NZ listings went live is not established; ACB_CTC is the Classification Board's Check the Classification placeholder and this desk asserts no cause for it; the Board's own database was not read; the editor's web.np.playstation.com GraphQL probe returned HTTP 403 at 436 bytes on all six locales and that failure is printed; no checkout was attempted. rockstargames.com/robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot by name and this desk's fetches use a standard desktop browser user agent.

The Australian and New Zealand PlayStation Store listings for Grand Theft Auto VI are live, priced and complete. Australia shows Standard at $129.95 and Ultimate at $159.95. New Zealand shows $139.95 and $174.95. This desk published earlier that the same product id answered a 204 error route, and that line needs correcting: the route is gated by locale, and from Australia and New Zealand it resolves as a full product page. CONFIRMED. This desk's editor fetched https://store.playstation.com/{locale}/product/EP1004-PPSA38500_00-GTAVISTANDARD001 on six locales with a desktop browser user agent between 2026-09-29T03:19:24Z and 2026-09-29T03:19:34Z. All six returned HTTP 200, and the byte counts separate a product page from an error page without ambiguity.

The rating name is ACB_CTC. The three product names on the page read Grand Theft Auto VI, Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition and Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade. What the New Zealand page carries Standard "basePrice":"$139.95", Ultimate "basePrice":"$174.95", Upgrade "basePrice":"Unavailable", and "releaseDate":"2026-11-18T11:00:00Z". The string ACB_CTC is present four times on that page. Those two release dates are worth a note, because a reader seeing 18 November will draw the wrong conclusion. Australia at 13:00Z and New Zealand at 11:00Z both resolve to midnight local on 19 November 2026 once the November offset is applied, which is this desk's own arithmetic and is the subject of a separate article in this batch. Sony has not moved the release date. The field holds a local midnight written into a stamp marked in UTC, and nobody should report it as an 18 November launch. The two price gaps Subtracting one confirmed figure from another is this desk's own arithmetic, so it is labelled. On the Australian page the Ultimate Edition costs A$30.00 more than Standard. On the New Zealand page the gap is NZ$35.00. The Ultimate Edition Upgrade, which is the route from one to the other after purchase, reads Unavailable on both pages rather than carrying a price. The correction, in plain words This desk previously published that the PlayStation product id PPSA38500 for Australia and New Zealand answered a 204 error, and left the impression that the listing was missing. The listing is not missing. PlayStation Store product routes are gated by locale, and the id resolves from the storefronts it belongs to while answering an error route from everywhere else. The earlier reading was correct about what came back and wrong about what it meant, and the difference matters to any reader who tried the link and concluded there was nothing there. REPORTED, on researcher 1's retrieval rather than the editor's. Three supporting details rest on a researcher's fetches that the editor did not re-run, and they are attributed rather than folded in. First, the mirror image: the global product id EP1004-PPSA01547_00 answers a 204 error route on ja-jp, en-au and en-nz while resolving normally elsewhere. Second, the mechanism, which sits in Rockstar's own store data as a SKU title string reading "PlayStation First Party Link Out SKU (Global less AU,NZ,JP)". Two disjoint product ids cover disjoint territories. Third, that the United States PlayStation ids for the PPSA38500 Standard and Ultimate editions both answer at 66,417 bytes. A placeholder where a rating should be ACB_CTC is the Australian Classification Board's "Check the Classification" placeholder. Fifty one days before release, on this desk's own arithmetic, the Australian listing still carries that placeholder rather than a classification. This desk records the observation and asserts no cause for it. A placeholder on a storefront is a storefront's field, and it does not establish what the Board has or has not done. One failure, recorded The editor's own probe of Sony's GraphQL endpoint at web.np.playstation.com returned HTTP 403 at 436 bytes on all six locales. That is a failure and it is printed rather than hidden. The store page reads above are the usable primary source for everything in this article, and no figure here comes from the endpoint that refused. Limits When the listings went live is not established. This desk can say only that they resolve now, at the timestamps recorded above. No first-appearance date is claimed. The Classification Board's own record was not read. Everything above about the Australian rating comes from Sony's field. This desk did not reach the Board's database and makes no claim about its contents. Three details are a researcher's, not the editor's. The mirror-image 204s, the Rockstar SKU title string and the United States byte counts are labelled REPORTED above and are not promoted anywhere in this article. No checkout was attempted. This desk read page data. It did not place an order, reach a payment step, or observe what any of these rows does at the point of sale. One read, one instant. The byte counts and field values describe the six pages as served in a ten second window on 29 September 2026. A storefront can be republished at any time. Retrieval method, disclosed. rockstargames.com/robots.txt disallows a named list of automated agents, ClaudeBot among them, and this desk's fetches use a standard desktop browser user agent. The PlayStation Store is not a Rockstar property, but the same user agent was used, and this desk discloses the practice in every batch rather than leaving a reader to guess.
