The standard edition of GTA 6 will be priced at $79.99, while the Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition will cost $99.99.

According to Rockstar, the Ultimate Edition ‘amplifies’ the experience with an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and additional content threaded throughout Jason and Lucia’s story. The game will be available in both digital and physical formats, although the physical edition will include a download code inside the box rather than a game disc.

Release date, pre-orders and pre-loading

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S.

Pre-orders will open on June 25 through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store and participating retailers worldwide. Players who pre-order digital versions will be able to begin pre-loading the game from November 12.

Pre-order bonuses

All players who pre-order GTA 6, or purchase the game before November 20, will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of items that Rockstar says ‘flash back to when the neon burned brightest.’

In addition, digital pre-orders will include one month of GTA+, Rockstar’s subscription service. The company says the membership offers benefits tied to the evolving GTA Online ecosystem and will be intently redeemable.

A single-player experience at launch

While announcing pricing and editions, Rockstar described GTA 6 as a ‘single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet.’

Notably, the company did not announce any multiplayer mode alongside the launch details, leaving questions around a successor to GTA Online unanswered for now.

Return to Vice City

The upcoming title takes players back to Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional version of Miami, while expanding the map across Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida.

GTA 6 is set in the modern day and incorporates social media culture, internet fame and contemporary American life into its world.

Jason and Lucia take centre stage

The story follows dual protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, who become entangled in a criminal conspiracy after a robbery goes wrong. Lucia is also set to become the first female lead character in the franchise’s history. The supporting cast includes Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Brian Heder, Raul Bustista, Real Dimez and Dre’Quan Priest.

The two trailers released so far have showcased the pair’s relationships, Vice City’s nightlife, beaches and criminal underworld, while hinting at a larger conspiracy spanning the state of Leonida.
