Rockstar Games has finally announced the price of GTA 6, while confirming it features a “single-player experience” at launch.

Rockstar said GTA 6 costs $79.99 across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, confirming a $10 jump from the standard $70 we’ve seen this generation. The Ultimate Edition, meanwhile, is $20 more, priced $99.99.

GTA 6 physical copies do not include a disc, Rockstar has confirmed. They’re just a code in a box

    $100 if you want:

    The entire map / all interactive world locations.

    The entire story.

    Ability to customize vehicles.

    All of the game’s vehicles.

    All of personal cosmetic customization options, such as clothes, tattoos, makeup, etc.

    All of the weapon customization options.

    So really, the actual game is $100 dollars, that does not include Online, but there’s a slimmed down poor person edition available for $80 bucks.

    GTA Online 2 or w/e looks like its gonna be a monthly subscription to even access it.

    Oh also there are no physical editions.

    None.

    All digital, the ‘physical’ is just a code in a box.

    Now, the actual ‘extra’ content in the Ultimate Edition is an 80s/Vice City/Miami Vice cosmetic pack.

    But the reality is that the broke ass bitch version is a stripped down version of the actual game, which is the Ultimate Edition.

      This is exactly the case. The made the $80 version the budget edition. One where you get an incomplete package for not paying the $100 that the game actually costs.

        GTA 6 is a ‘singleplayer experience,’ GTA Online may be sold separately

        Rockstar Games and Sony seem to confirm GTA 6 will be a singleplayer game, possibly indicating that the next version of GTA Online could be standalone.

        … (bunch of examples of Rockstar repeatedly describing GTA 6 as ‘a single player experience’ consistently across all of its marketing material, everywhere) …

        This gave Rockstar lots of flexibility in how gamers interact with the game itself–which has splintered into two very distinct offerings–and many analysts believed and took for granted that Rockstar would simply ship GTA Online as a free component within GTA 6’s base game.

        If I had to guess, I would say that Rockstar is currently preparing to essentially translate the existing version of GTA Online, which takes place in Los Santos, to the other side of the country in Vice City’s crime-ridden streets.

        It’s possible we could see the current iteration of GTA Online go into retirement as Rockstar moves into the next version, however, all of this takes time and a lot of manpower and money, so it’s possible that the new version of GTA Online simply isn’t ready yet.

        GTA+ would probably be involved in this process in some way, potentially offering access to GTA Online by default while also adding in extras and bonuses like vehicles and weapons.

        So yeah my guess would be that they do a two pronged approach of either:

        You buy GTA Online 2 as a standalone game

        or

        You have a GTA + monthly subscription, which gives you both access to GTA Online 2, and also basically a ‘battlepass’ or w/e, monthly perks.

        But with the latter, stop the subscription? Well there goes your GTA Online 2 access.

        You can do both too, of course.

        They already figured out that you could split RDR2 and GTA5 into ‘singleplayer + multiplayer’ and ‘just multiplayer’.

        Why not just also have ‘just single player’?

          Are you aware that there’s a subscription available for GTA Online 1 right now, by the same name, and it isn’t required for access? There’s no reason to believe they’re going to lock access behind a subscription; it’s become very unpopular, as they find they make more money without that barrier.

      Fuck! I wanted to buy second hand so Rockshit doesn’t get my money. You can’t just fire like 35 developers a year before the big release. What a fucking evil shit company. But yes, I still want to play because I’m a bad person.

        You don’t have to be a bad person.

        … you can wait untill it comes to PC, we’ll get it cracked eventually, at least single player.

        Those old GTA 6 alpha leaks are still out there.

        I actually had a copy at one point… I’m sure someone still does, and I’m sure examining it can be useful.

        But uh yeah, fire a whole bunch of devs right before release?

        That’s AAA industry standard, been that way for like 15 years now, they basically all do that.
