PRE-ORDER BONUSES — CLAIM BY NOVEMBER 19
Pre-order bonuses are available to everyone who pre-orders: the Vintage Vice City Pack — a '55 Vapid Stanier, the Shore Court Garage, retro outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a Tommy Vercetti-inspired weapon pattern — plus one free month of GTA+. But they must be claimed by launch day, November 19, 2026 (23:59:59). Note: the GTA+ month auto-renews at the regular price after the free month unless you cancel. If you pre-order, don't leave the bonuses unclaimed.
WHERE TO PRE-ORDER
- Digital: PlayStation Store (PS5), Xbox Store (Xbox Series X|S)
- Physical: Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop
Tip: physical pre-orders from major retailers typically don't charge until the game ships. Note the physical edition is a download code in a box — no disc at launch.
SHOULD YOU PRE-ORDER OR WAIT?
Reasons to pre-order: locked-in bonuses, guaranteed launch-day copy (physical), and GTA VI is the rare game with essentially zero sell-out risk but real bonus value. Reasons to wait: reviews, performance reports on your specific platform, and potential holiday bundles. There is no wrong answer — but if you want the bonuses, the deadline is November 19.
PRICE HISTORY NOTE
At $79.99, GTA VI is one of the first games to normalize the $80 standard edition — up from the $70 standard of the PS5 generation. Rockstar is betting the game's scale justifies it. Early demand suggests they're right.
