The wait is over. As GTA 6 pre-orders go live today, June 25, 2026, Rockstar Games has finally pulled back the curtain on the question fans have asked for months: how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? The answer is now official — $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition — and it arrives alongside a notable reveal about how the game will launch. This confirmation supersedes the earlier "price not yet announced" status we reported in our GTA 6 price guide.

GTA 6 Price: Now Officially Confirmed

For months, the only numbers we had came from analyst estimates and a widely circulated retailer leak. That era of speculation is over. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have now officially confirmed GTA 6 pricing as pre-orders open:

The $79.99 base price lands exactly where most analysts predicted, in the $70–$80 range, and notably defuses earlier fears of a $100 standard edition that some leaked retailer listings had implied. The Ultimate Edition adds an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, apparel, and personalized weapons for players who want extras from day one. For a full breakdown of what separates the two tiers, see our GTA 6 editions comparison.

This officially replaces all prior estimates. Any pricing you saw before today — including the leaked French retailer FNAC listings that floated figures as high as $228 — were placeholders. The real, Rockstar-confirmed numbers are $79.99 and $99.99.

The Surprise: A "Single-Player Experience" at Launch

The bigger story for many fans isn't the price — it's a single phrase in Rockstar's announcement. The publisher described GTA 6 as "a single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet."

In other words, GTA 6 will launch as a single-player game, with no GTA Online-style multiplayer mode available on day one. Given how central GTA Online became to Grand Theft Auto V's decade-long success, this is a meaningful framing. Rockstar has not said an online component is cancelled — only that the November 19 launch will center on the single-player story of Jason and Lucia. An eventual online mode remains widely expected, but as we've consistently noted, Rockstar has shared limited official detail, so treat any multiplayer timeline as expectation rather than confirmation.

For players, the takeaway is simple: at launch, GTA 6 is about the campaign — the dual-protagonist, Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired crime story set across Leonida and Vice City.

Pre-Order Bonuses and the Vintage Vice City Pack

With pre-orders opening today through the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Rockstar Games Store, and select retailers, Rockstar also confirmed the incentives for buying early:

One detail worth flagging for collectors: the physical version ships as a code in a box rather than a disc. If owning a physical disc matters to you, this is an important change to factor in before deciding between physical and digital.

What This Means for Players

Today's announcement resolves three of the biggest open questions at once: the price is confirmed, the launch is single-player-focused, and pre-orders are live. The $79.99 standard price reflects where AAA pricing has settled in 2026 while coming in below the more alarming leaked figures, which will be a relief to many.

The single-player framing is the detail to watch. It doesn't change the November 19, 2026 release date, and it doesn't rule out online play down the line — but it does set clear expectations for what you're buying on day one. If you were holding off on a pre-order until prices were official, that wait is now over.

Bottom Line

Rockstar has officially confirmed GTA 6 will cost $79.99 (Standard) or $99.99 (Ultimate), and that it launches November 19, 2026 as a single-player experience on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are live as of today, June 25, complete with the Vintage Vice City Pack and a free month of GTA+ for digital buyers. After months of leaks and estimates, the numbers are finally real — and the question now shifts from "how much?" to "Standard or Ultimate?"
