Grand Theft Auto 6 is $80 USD, $140 NZD; physical editions are really digital-only

Strap yourselves in.

Ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6‘s pre-order availability tonight, a host of new details have emerged about the game. We’ve got all the info on pricing, editions, pre-order bonuses, and availability below.

Grand Theft Auto 6 pricing

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been confirmed at the following price points across its two editions:

  • USA: $79.99 USD for Standard Edition, $99.99 USD for Ultimate Edition
  • New Zealand: $139.95 NZD for Standard Edition, $174.95 NZD for Ultimate Edition

While Rockstar detailed USA pricing, it’s the PlayStation Store that’s outed New Zealand pricing ahead of pre-order availability. Australian, Canadian, and pricing in regions such as the UK have not yet been detailed (but will likely appear at 12.00 am midnight in local times when pre-orders open up).

In Australia, we’d expect the Standard Edition to be somewhere around the $120 AUD mark, and perhaps $99 CAD over in Canada. These are just guesses, of course, and haven’t been confirmed.

Grand Theft Auto 6 physical editions do not include physical discs

While Grand Theft Auto 6 will offer up physical editions, don’t expect them to include game discs.

“Physical copies of GTA VI will contain a code that can be redeemed for the digital download of the game,” Rockstar today advised. “A disc will not be included in the box.”

  • Vehicle Mod Shops: Two preeminent vehicle customization destinations are exclusively open for business with the Ultimate Edition and feature a wide selection of artistic and performance-based vehicle mods.
