GTA 6 pre-orders are now live. Rockstar Games has officially opened pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and major physical retailers — confirming the multi-edition structure fans had been expecting. Here is everything you need to know about every edition, every bonus, and which version is the right buy for your situation.
Pre-order quick summary
- Available on: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
- Editions: Standard, Special, and Collector’s
- Where: PSN, Microsoft Store, Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Rockstar Games Store
- PC release: No PC pre-orders yet — PC version coming after console launch
GTA 6 Standard Edition
The base game, available digitally and physically. The standard edition is the most common purchase for the vast majority of players and includes the full GTA 6 single-player campaign plus access to GTA 6 Online when it launches.
Expected price: $69.99-$79.99 USD depending on region. Console standard is the baseline tier — what most players will buy. See our GTA 6 price analysis for the full pricing breakdown.
GTA 6 Special Edition
The Special Edition adds digital bonuses on top of the standard game — in-game cash, exclusive weapons, vehicle unlocks, and outfit packs. Rockstar’s prior Special Editions for GTA V and RDR2 followed this same pattern.
Likely additions:
- In-game cash bonus for single-player and online
- One or two exclusive vehicle unlocks
- Weapon skin pack or special weapon
- Outfit and accessory pack
- Possible SteelBook case on physical version
Expected price: $89.99-$99.99 USD
GTA 6 Collector’s Edition
The premium physical edition. Collector’s Editions historically sell out within days. If you want one, pre-ordering early is essential.
Likely contents:
- Standard or Special Edition base game
- Physical world map (hardcover)
- Art book / behind-the-scenes hardcover
- Exclusive collectible — possibly a Vice City statuette, replica item, or steel keychain
- SteelBook case
- Pre-order exclusive in-game bonuses
Expected price: $149.99-$199.99 USD
Pre-order bonuses
Every digital pre-order historically gets some baseline bonus. Expect:
- In-game cash for use at launch
- Exclusive vehicle or weapon skin
- Special outfit unlock
- Possible early access to specific online features
Retailer-exclusive bonuses are common — Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop typically each offer unique pre-order skins or cosmetic packs.
Should you pre-order GTA 6?
Digital pre-order: Low risk. Both PSN and Xbox refund pre-orders fully if you change your mind before launch. You also get preload access 24-72 hours before launch — a major time saver. See our GTA 6 preload guide.
Physical Standard: Safe. Major retailers handle returns smoothly.
Physical Collector’s Edition: Higher risk if you change your mind, but the box itself is collectible. Generally a strong pick if you’re committed.
