Who: Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive.

What: The standard edition of GTA 6 will carry a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $69.99 USD. Furthermore, the publisher has confirmed the introduction of a new, premium tier: a digital-only “Collector’s Ultimate Edition” priced at $149.99.

Where: The pricing applies to all major platforms, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC release date remains unconfirmed.

When: The titles will be available simultaneous to the game’s anticipated launch in the fall of 2025.
