GTA 6 Price: $79.99, $99.99, or $79.99 Now and $20 Later

by 6Charts Team Category: news 7 min read

Everything here was fetched between 03:01 and 03:07 UTC on 27 August, with byte counts printed as the baseline for a future diff. The release date agrees across all three storefronts at 19 November 2026. The pre-order bonus is a one-month GTA+ subscription that, in Sony's own words, auto-renews. Also confirmed: no PC version anywhere, with Steam's own API returning a single match that is the 2021 Vice City remaster, no download size on any storefront, no Xbox One, and no collector's edition in roughly 2.9 MB of storefront DOM despite the $230 figure circulating.

GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate edition. There is also a third listing almost nobody has noticed: a $20.00 Ultimate Edition Upgrade. $79.99 plus $20.00 is $99.99 exactly, so buying Standard now and upgrading later costs the same as buying Ultimate today. That is the useful finding in this piece, and it means nobody has to decide tonight. Everything below was fetched between 03:01 and 03:07 UTC on 27 August 2026, and the byte counts are printed so that anyone, including us, can diff against them later. How much does GTA 6 cost? CONFIRMED across three storefronts. The pricing is identical everywhere it appears, and the release date agrees everywhere it appears.

The Xbox Standard listing is 9P3H4968GRSM, displays 11/19/2026, carries a machine releaseDate of "2026-11-19T05:00:00", lists availableOn as ["XboxSeriesX"] and supports 13 languages. Rockstar's own store page shows "Release Date November 19, 2026" against a machine field of 2026-11-19, with "purchasable":true and a maximum quantity of 4. Can I buy Standard now and upgrade to Ultimate later? Yes, and it costs you nothing extra to wait. CONFIRMED. A third SKU exists, titled "Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade", priced at $20.00 on Xbox. We took the price from the listing's own aria-label rather than from rendered text, and the same upgrade product exists on PlayStation. RouteWhat you payTotal Buy Ultimate outright$99.99$99.99 Buy Standard, upgrade later$79.99 then $20.00$99.99 The arithmetic is exact. The upgrade path is price-neutral, so nobody is penalised for buying the Standard edition first and deciding about Ultimate closer to launch, or after release when there is actual footage of what the extra content is. One honest limit on that. We hold a single sample from this morning and no prior snapshot of the upgrade listing. We are not claiming the SKU is new, and we are not claiming any storefront changed anything. We are telling you it exists at that price as of 03:08 UTC on 27 August 2026. Every image on this page is official Rockstar material. Nothing on this page comes from leaked material, and we did not view any. What do you get for pre-ordering GTA 6? CONFIRMED, and one line of it deserves reading twice. Sony's own product page says, verbatim: 1-month GTA+ subscription with pre-order.Auto-renews. Check Game and Legal Info* below. A free month that auto-renews is a free month followed by a charge unless you do something about it. That is a completely standard commercial arrangement and it is disclosed on the page, and it is also the kind of thing worth putting in plain words in front of the several million people about to click pre-order. If you want the free month and not the subscription, the time to deal with it is when you redeem it, not in December. CONFIRMED on the Rockstar Store: a separate pre-order bonus listed as the "Vintage Vice City Pack Pre-Order Bonuses", giving "Outfits and Hairstyles" and an "Exclusive Weapon Pattern". Cosmetic items, described by Rockstar in those words. Is GTA 6 coming to PC? No PC version has been announced, and there is no PC listing anywhere to find. CONFIRMED NEGATIVE. We queried Steam's own store search API for "grand theft auto vi" and received HTTP 200 at 418 bytes with a total of 1. The single match is "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition", app ID 1546990, the 2021 remaster of a 2002 game. There is no GTA VI Steam page. There is also no PC SKU on any of the three storefronts we checked, and Malwarebytes independently states in its own security write-up this week that Rockstar has not announced a PC version. CONFIRMED: the Xbox listing gives availableOn as ["XboxSeriesX"] and nothing else. No Xbox One. This particular vacuum has a cost, which we covered separately this week. Where an official PC version does not exist, sites offering a GTA 6 PC download fill the space, and at least one family of them is serving an infostealer. Is there a GTA 6 collector's edition? UNVERIFIED, and no official announcement exists. A $230 collector's edition price and a vinyl soundtrack circulate on collector-tracking sites and SEO domains. We searched roughly 2.9 MB of storefront DOM across all three stores and found no collector's edition of any kind, at any price. That is not proof one will never appear. It is proof that as of 03:08 UTC on 27 August, none of the three places that would sell you one is listing one. How big is the GTA 6 download? CONFIRMED NEGATIVE. No storefront publishes a download size. We found zero GB and zero MB strings across all three listings. Any figure you have seen for the install size of GTA 6 did not come from a storefront, because the storefronts do not carry one yet. What Rockstar's own GTA 6 page does not say CONFIRMED: no price appears anywhere on rockstargames.com/VI. Zero currency matches across the entire document. Pricing lives on the storefronts and on the separate Rockstar Store buy page, and not on the game's own site. One curiosity from the Xbox listing, offered as trivia rather than as signal: it shows an averageRating of 4.9 on a game nobody outside Rockstar has played. We mention it because it is odd, and we are not building anything on it. What is and is not established Confirmed, fetched 03:01Z to 03:07Z on 27 August 2026: Standard $79.99 and Ultimate $99.99 on both the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store, and $79.99 on the Rockstar Store. Byte counts for every fetch are tabled above. Confirmed: the release date agrees across all three storefronts. PlayStation carries releaseDate 2026-11-19T05:00:00Z, Xbox carries 2026-11-19T05:00:00 and displays 11/19/2026, and the Rockstar Store shows November 19, 2026 against a machine field of 2026-11-19. Confirmed: a third SKU, Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade, is priced at $20.00 on Xbox per the listing's own aria-label, and exists on PlayStation. $79.99 plus $20.00 equals $99.99, so the upgrade path is price-neutral. Not claimed: that the upgrade SKU is new, or that any storefront changed anything. We hold a single sample from this morning and no prior snapshot. Everything here is stated as of 03:08 UTC on 27 August. Confirmed, quoted verbatim from Sony's page: the pre-order bonus is a one-month GTA+ subscription that auto-renews. The Rockstar Store separately lists a Vintage Vice City Pack giving outfits, hairstyles and an exclusive weapon pattern. Confirmed negative: no PC version. Steam's store search API returned HTTP 200 at 418 bytes with a total of 1, and the single match is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition, app ID 1546990. No PC SKU exists on any of the three storefronts. Confirmed: Xbox lists availableOn as XboxSeriesX only. No Xbox One version appears. Confirmed negative: no download size on any storefront. Zero GB and zero MB strings across all three listings. Unverified: the circulating $230 collector's edition and vinyl soundtrack. No collector's edition appears anywhere in roughly 2.9 MB of storefront DOM, and no official announcement exists. Confirmed: no price appears anywhere on rockstargames.com/VI. Zero currency matches on that page. Trivia, not signal: the Xbox listing shows an averageRating of 4.9 on an unreleased game. No argument here rests on it. We will re-pull all three storefronts against the byte counts above and report any movement on our news page. If you are working out where you will actually play once 19 November arrives, our servers list is the place to start.
