How Much Does GTA 6 Cost? Price by Edition

· Sources checked · Rumors labeled

GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, both prices confirmed by Rockstar Games. So when people ask "how much does GTA 6 cost," the answer depends on which of the two editions you buy, with pre-orders open since June 25, 2026 ahead of the November 19, 2026 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

GTA 6 price at a glance (as of July 2026):

Edition Price (USD) What you get
Standard $79.99 The complete game: full campaign, the entire Leonida map, every launch feature
Ultimate $99.99 Everything in Standard, plus cosmetics, extra vehicles, weapons, outfits, and in-game vendors

Here is exactly what your money buys, and whether the pricier version is worth it.

What's confirmed about GTA 6's price

According to Rockstar's June 2026 pre-order announcement:

  • Standard Edition — $79.99. This is the complete game: the full single-player campaign starring Lucia and Jason, the entire open world of Leonida, and every feature Rockstar ships at launch. Nothing about the story or map is cut from this version.
  • Ultimate Edition — $99.99. For the extra $20 you get a bundle of cosmetic and convenience extras — outfits, vehicles, weapons, and access to in-game vendors like a car mod shop, tattoo parlor, and clothing store. These are bonuses on top of the base game, not chunks held back from it.
  • Pre-order bonus. Every pre-order, at either price, includes a free Vintage Vice City in-game pack.

The $79.99 base price is a $10 jump over the $69.99 that became standard for big-budget console games this generation, making GTA 6 one of the first major titles to move the bar to $80. Both editions are one-time purchases, and there is no separate charge to launch the game's online side, though Rockstar has not detailed how that mode will be monetized after release.

Which GTA 6 edition should you buy?

The honest read: most players should buy the Standard Edition. You get the whole game — every mission, the full map, all launch features — for $79.99. The Ultimate Edition does not unlock more story; it adds cosmetics and in-game economy perks that many players would rather earn (or skip) in-game.

Buy the Ultimate Edition only if you know you want the head-start vehicles and vendor access, and the extra $20 does not sting.

Is there a Collector's Edition or a PC price?

  • A Collector's Edition. Some outlets have discussed a possible physical Collector's Edition with extra merchandise. As of July 2026, Rockstar has officially announced only two editions, Standard and Ultimate. Treat any Collector's Edition talk as unconfirmed until Rockstar says otherwise.
  • PC pricing. There is no confirmed PC version yet, so there is no PC price. When Rockstar announces a PC release, expect pricing to be revealed then.

What would change this answer

Regional pricing varies, so the exact number in your local currency depends on your store. The $79.99 / $99.99 figures are the U.S. prices. This answer would also change if Rockstar announces a third edition or a PC version with its own price. We will update this page and log it on our Scorecard if that happens.

Frequently asked questions

Is GTA 6 $70 or $80? The GTA 6 Standard Edition costs $79.99 in the U.S., not $69.99. Rockstar set the base price at $80, making GTA 6 one of the first major games to move past the $70 norm that defined this console generation.

Is the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition worth it? It depends on what you value. The $99.99 Ultimate Edition adds cosmetics, extra vehicles and weapons, and in-game vendor access, but no additional story or map. If you mainly want the full game, the $79.99 Standard Edition is the better value; the Ultimate is for players who specifically want those in-game extras.
