Where to Pre-Order GTA 6: Retailers and Editions Compared

GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the United States, and there are no store-exclusive pre-order bonuses. The pre-order bonus is the same everywhere, so the real choices are digital or physical, which store, and your region. This guide lists what we verified on official pages on October 31, 2026 and says plainly where we could not verify a price. GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026. More in the GTA 6 hub.

Not verified We could not read prices on Amazon, Walmart or Best Buy product pages, so we are not quoting any. GamesRadar (updated August 24) says Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, PlayStation and Xbox all had U.S. pre-orders live, and that Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart advertise November 12 delivery. Check the retailer’s page for the live price and stock.

UK and euro prices

On the PlayStation Store we read £69.99 Standard and £89.99 Ultimate in the UK, and €79.99 and €99.99 in Spain, Germany and France (see GTA 6 price). GamesRadar lists Amazon, John Lewis, Very, Currys, Argos, ShopTo, The Game Collection and Smyths as live UK retailers; we haven’t verified their prices.

Digital or physical?

  • Digital: the only way to get the Ultimate Edition. The free GTA+ month is for digital pre-orders. Preloading starts on November 12.
  • Physical: the box contains a download code and no disc, so the main reasons to choose it are gifting and buying from a retailer you prefer. The Verge reports codes are sold at Rockstar and major retailers.

Buying tips that cost nothing

  • Buy in your own region. GamesRadar notes that PlayStation pre-order codes are locked to the region where you buy them; Xbox codes are not. Rockstar Support says the same about matching your account region.
  • Don’t pay extra for “bonus” listings. No retailer has an exclusive bonus. The offer is the same everywhere.
  • Check the cutoff. Buy before November 20, 2026 to get the Vintage Vice City Pack.
  • Know the storage. A reported 210 GB PS5 download isn’t official; see the file size guide.
