GTA 6 launch live updates: Pre-orders go live and UK price revealed – UK Times

THe standard and ultimate editions of GTA 6 are now available to pre-order in the UK at the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store.

Listings at third-party retailers are also going live. I’ll be rounding up all the places where you can pre-order GTA 6. Stay tuned.

A very odd move from Rockstar Games. The developer has announced that if you buy a physical version of the game, you’ll just get a code in the box to download the game – not a disc.

As well as the bonuses detailed below in the post below, you’ll also get an exclusive quest with the Ultimate Edition of the game.

The Classic Car Collection questline lets players restore abandoned vehicles, with four cars exclusive to the premium edition of the game.

Two exclusive vehicle mod shops – Rideout Customs in Vice City and One-Eyed Willie’s in Lake Leonida – will only be available to Ultimate Edition owners as well.

Anyone who pre-orders GTA 6 digitally through the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store will receive a free month of GTA+.

The free month of GTA+ comes with a monthly GTA$500,000 in-game cash deposit for GTA Online, bonus rewards on Shark Card purchases, access to exclusive discounts and vehicles, plus a rotating selection of Rockstar games.

You’ll be able to redeem the free month immediately after pre-ordering, though Rockstar says a GTA+ membership will automatically renew at the standard monthly rate unless cancelled.

Rockstar has announced the various bonuses you’ll get by pre-ording the game. Everyone who pre-orders the game will get a Vintage Vice City Pack, which consists of the following:

• ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan
• Shore Court Garage near Ocean Beach
• Two Vice City-inspired outfits for Jason and Lucia
• Vintage hairstyles for both protagonists
• A tropical weapon skin inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s iconic palm-tree shirt

The Vintage Vice City Pack will be included with all digital purchases made before 20 November 2026. Anyone who pre-orders a physical edition will get the content included, while supplies last. Like the Ultimate Edition bonuses, you’ll get the bonuses as you progress through the story.

Rockstar Games has announced that, if you buy the Ultimate Edition of the game, you’ll get an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel and activities threaded throughout Jason and Lucia’s story.

You get access to exclusive vehicles such as the ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and ’95 Grotti Cheetah, additional garages, custom weapon variants, special missions, new clothing shops, tattoos and hairstyles.

• ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Paradise Garage
• ’95 Grotti Cheetah sports car
• Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest Kayak at Jason’s safehouse
• Exclusive mods for Jason’s Vapid Ganado pickup
• Access to Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s vehicle mod shops
• A Classic Car Collection questline, including four cars exclusive to the Ultimate Edition
• Shitzu Squalo boat
• Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers with Vice City styling
• Personalised versions of Jason’s Girardi ES9 and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistols
• A PTT Youngin$ compound raid activity and special contraband rewards
• Exclusive Vice City-inspired outfits for Jason and Lucia
• Goodtime Gear clothing and accessories
• Access to the Stock 305 streetwear shop
• Signature hairstyles, facial hair, makeup and nails from Sara’s Unisex Salon
• More than 50 exclusive tattoos from Electric Fang Tattoo

Rockstar says the bonuses will unlock progressively as players advance through the story, and Standard Edition owners will be able to purchase the Ultimate Edition upgrade at a later date.

Rockstar Games will be releasing two versions of GTA 6 – a standard edition and an Ultimate Edition – and it seems fans may have been worrying themselves silly about the price for no reason.

The developer has confirmed that the standard edition will cost $79.99, while the pricier GTA 6 Ultimate Edition will retail for $99.99. UK pricing has not yet been revealed.

Some analysts had predicted that GTA 6 could cost $150, which now seems wide off the mark.

It’s official. GTA 6 pre-orders will go live at midnight tonight. Rockstar has confirmed that the game will become available simultaneously at midnight in each local time zone, meaning players in New Zealand will be the first to gain access to pre-orders.

I’ll be bringing you all the latest as more becomes available. Stay tuned.

More than a year later, Rockstar dropped trailer 2, properly introducing us to Jason and expanding on Lucia and Jason’s Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship.

We also saw new clips of Leonida, including the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn. GTA 6’s huge cast of side characters was also revealed, with Rockstar fleshing out the game’s criminal underworld.

While we await the launch of the third trailer for GTA 6, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and rewatch the first two.

The first GTA 6 trailer, released in December 2023, introduced us all to our first protagonist – Lucia and confirmed that we would indeed be heading back to Vice City.

It gave us our first glimpse at Leonida and showcased a wild Florida-inspired world, complete with TikTok-style vertical clips, alligators and crazy beach parties.
