Experts are predicting it will be the biggest entertainment launch in human history, but how much will it cost you to play it?
How much will GTA 6 cost?
The standard edition of GTA 6 is going to cost $79.99 in the United States.
If you want to go all-out, the premium Ultimate Edition will set you back $99.99.
That version gets you access to “exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story.”

What is $80 in British pounds?
At current raw exchange rates, a clean conversion of $80 is roughly £63.
But don’t get your hopes up for a cheeky bargain.
Big-time games publishers almost never do a straight currency swap for the UK market.
Because of UK VAT at 20 per cent and local import adjustments, the standard edition will almost certainly land with a £79.99 price tag on British shelves.
The premium Ultimate Edition is expected to top £99.99.
Does it come with a physical copy of the disc?
Rockstar has confirmed that physical copies of GTA 6 will not feature a shiny plastic disc to pop into your console.
Instead, when you buy a boxed copy, you will find nothing but a digital download code tucked inside.
Insiders say Rockstar is doing this to prevent early leaks, and because the sheer scale of the game is simply too massive to fit onto a single standard Blu-ray disc.
Physical copies will ship early, starting on November 12, 2026, a whole week before the game’s official November 19 release date.
That gives fans a chance to redeem their code and pre-download the mammoth game ahead of time so they can play it exactly as it goes live.
Where can I buy GTA 6?
Digital pre-orders open at midnight tonight on the official PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for Xbox Series X/S .
If you want a physical copy, UK retailers are already launching their pages with a variety of competitive launch offers.
We’ll update this article as and when various retailer’s order pages go live.
