Grand Theft Auto 6, the most anticipated game in maybe a decade, won't be as expensive as some observers feared. Rockstar has revealed that GTA 6 will cost $80 for the Standard Edition and $100 for the Ultimate Edition, typical pricing for AAA titles nowadays. Pre-orders open tomorrow (June 25) at midnight, securing a copy for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
Digital vs physical pre-orders
By ordering the digital version, players can begin pre-loading on November 12 to ensure they can play immediately on the November 19 launch date. However, those hoping for a physical copy will be disappointed. The so-called physical version simply contains a download code inside a box, which will also work starting November 12 for pre-loading. In short, the difference between physical and digital copies is just the box. This decision has sparked debate among fans.

Ultimate Edition extras
For an extra $20, the Ultimate Edition includes digital extras appearing in different parts of the story: weapons, cars, clothing, and tattoos. A tempting option for collectors. Moreover, pre-ordering or buying before November 20 grants the Vintage Vice City Pack, a nod to 2002's GTA Vice City. It features a '55 Vapid Stanier sedan and garage, '80s-style outfits and hairstyles, and a weapon skin with pastel hues. A nostalgic bonus for longtime fans.
Showcasing details via screenshots
Rockstar's announcement includes numerous screenshots highlighting parts of the Ultimate Edition, showing main characters Jason and Lucia, outfits, tattoos, vehicles, and even a dolphin. The realism and detail are impressive and convey the seedy atmosphere expected from a GTA game. GTA 6 has been delayed twice but is now on track for its November 19 launch, with Rockstar recently calling it, in a job listing, the largest game launch in history.

While the gaming world gears up for this release, other tech companies are making big moves: for instance, Qualcomm acquired chip startup Modular for nearly $4 billion, targeting data center expansion. Yet for most gamers, attention remains firmly on Vice City and the adventures of Jason and Lucia. For more technical details, refer to the Wikipedia page for Grand Theft Auto VI.
