Rockstar Games Officially Sets GTA 6 Price
Rockstar Games has ended months of speculation by officially confirming the price of Grand Theft Auto VI. The game will launch at $79.99 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a $10 increase over the current $69.99 standard for major current-generation titles. Additionally, a $99.99 Ultimate Edition has been announced, bundling extra content.
Single-Player Campaign Confirmed at Launch
Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 will feature a single-player experience at launch. However, no details have been provided regarding a new version of GTA Online, suggesting the existing online service may continue operating alongside the GTA 6 release later this year.
Pre-Order Details and Bonuses
Pre-orders for GTA 6 are scheduled to begin at midnight local time on June 25. Rockstar has revealed pre-order bonuses and Ultimate Edition contents, though specifics vary by platform and retailer. The pricing announcement follows industry debate about whether Rockstar would charge up to $100 for the standard edition. While the final price is lower, analysts suggest the move could influence pricing strategies across the wider gaming industry.
Physical Editions Lack Game Discs
In a separate announcement, Rockstar confirmed that physical editions of GTA 6 will not include a game disc. Instead, boxed copies will contain a digital download code, reflecting the industry's ongoing shift towards digital distribution.
New Promotional Materials Released
