The Short Answer: There Is No Single World Price
GTA 6 does not have one global price. Take-Two announced the US price — $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition — and every other country pays whatever its own PlayStation Store or Xbox Store lists in local currency.
That means £69.99 in the UK, €79.99 across the eurozone, ₹5,999 in India, ¥9,800 in Japan and R1,499 in South Africa, all for the same game.
The prices below were read from official store listings in October 2026. Store prices can change, so treat this as a snapshot and always check your own store before you pay.
Key Takeaways
- The US price is $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate, before sales tax; Take-Two announced those figures on 24 June 2026.
- Every other price is set per store region in local currency — the figures are chosen for each market, not converted from dollars.
- The PlayStation Store and Xbox Store charge the same in most countries, with a handful of exceptions such as Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
- Tax explains part of the gap: UK, European, Australian, Indian and South African prices include tax, while US, Canadian and Brazilian prices add it at checkout.
- Converted to dollars at October 2026 rates, Japan, India and South Korea were among the cheapest places to buy, and the UK among the most expensive.
1. How Regional Pricing Works
Rockstar and the platform holders set a price for each storefront, in that store’s currency, when pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026. The numbers were not produced by converting $79.99 at the day’s exchange rate.
That is why they end in local patterns — ¥9,800 in Japan, 349 zł in Poland, ₩89,800 in South Korea — rather than in converted-looking figures. A regional price also tends to stay fixed even when exchange rates move afterwards.
One consequence: Rockstar’s own pages do not help you here. The official GTA 6 page and Newswire posts carry no price in any currency, so every figure in this article comes from a console store listing. For the two editions themselves, our guide to what you get in each GTA 6 edition covers what the extra money buys.
In most markets the two console stores agree. Store-by-store checks in October 2026 found PlayStation and Xbox charging the same in the large majority of countries where both sell the game, with differences concentrated in a few markets covered below.
2. North America and Europe
The biggest markets are the simplest. In the United States, the Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition $99.99 on both stores, with sales tax added at checkout.
Canada pays CA$109.99 and CA$139.99, also before tax. The United Kingdom pays £69.99 and £89.99 with VAT already included, and the whole eurozone pays a single price of €79.99 and €99.99, VAT included.
Outside the euro, prices are set country by country. Poland, for example, lists 349 zł for Standard and 429 zł for Ultimate, tax included.
Those European figures, converted at October 2026 exchange rates, come out higher than the US price — roughly $90 or more for the Standard Edition. Most of that difference is the included tax rather than a higher underlying price.
3. Asia and the Pacific
India is the market readers ask about most, and it has genuine regional pricing: ₹5,999 for the Standard Edition and ₹7,499 for the Ultimate Edition, tax included, on both console stores.
Japan lists ¥9,800 and ¥12,280. South Korea lists ₩89,800 and ₩112,800, which at October 2026 rates made it one of the cheapest storefronts in the world, at roughly $58 for the Standard Edition.
Australia pays A$129.95 and A$159.95 with GST included, and New Zealand pays NZ$139.95 and NZ$174.95. Converted, both sit well above the US price, again largely because the tax is already inside the number on the page.
Converted comparisons need care: the local figure is what you actually pay, while the dollar equivalent moves every day with exchange rates. Japan and India work out near $61 to $63 for Standard, the UK nearer $92 — a wide spread for the same download.
4. Latin America, the Middle East and Africa
Brazil lists R$449.90 for Standard and R$549.90 for Ultimate on both stores, with tax added at checkout under Sony’s and Microsoft’s Brazilian terms, so the final total is higher than the listed figure.
Mexico is one of the exceptions where the stores disagree. The PlayStation Store lists 1,292.24 pesos for Standard, a figure quoted before Mexico’s 16 percent IVA, while the Xbox Store lists 1,499 pesos. The gap between the two is almost exactly that tax.
South Africa pays R1,499 for Standard and R1,899 for Ultimate, with VAT included in the PlayStation price. Saudi Arabia and the UAE also differ slightly between stores, and the UAE’s Xbox Store lists the game in US dollars rather than dirhams — worth knowing before you compare screenshots of prices online.
5. Standard vs Ultimate Around the World
The gap between the two editions is itself a regional price. In the US, UK and eurozone it is a flat 20 — $20, £20 or €20 — and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade add-on is sold for exactly that gap, so buying Standard now and upgrading later costs the same as buying Ultimate today.
Elsewhere the gap follows local pricing: CA$30 in Canada, A$30 in Australia, ¥2,480 in Japan and ₹1,500 in India, where it is the narrowest gap in cash terms anywhere.
The editions themselves do not change by country. Ultimate is digital only everywhere, while the boxed Standard Edition sold at retail contains a download code rather than a disc — a point our article on whether GTA 6 has a physical disc covers in full.
Retailers set their own prices for that boxed version, so the figures in this article are the digital store prices. A shop discount on the box does not change what the stores charge.
6. Why You Cannot Just Buy From the Cheapest Store
Every price comparison ends with someone suggesting a Japanese or Indian account. The platforms’ rules are the obstacle: console stores sell to accounts registered in their region, and buying outside your account region can breach store terms and strand the game on an account you cannot properly use.
PlayStation codes are locked to the region grouping of the account that redeems them. A cheaper foreign price is not a saving if the purchase ends up attached to the wrong account.
There is also less to gain than the headline numbers suggest. The dollar gaps shrink once you remember that US prices exclude tax while most others include it, and that converted figures are a snapshot of one day’s exchange rates.
The genuinely useful comparison is closer to home: digital store price versus your local retailers’ boxed price, and Standard versus Ultimate for your own store. Our guide to where is the best place to pre-order GTA 6 works through those choices.
7. Before You Buy: Check Your Own Store
Prices in this article were read from official store listings in October 2026 and were stable at those levels since pre-orders opened in June. Stores can still change a regional price without any announcement from Rockstar.
So use this page to understand the landscape, then confirm the exact figure on your own PlayStation Store or Xbox Store page before paying. That page, in your account’s region, is the only price that applies to you.
If a third-party site offers GTA 6 far below every figure listed here, treat it as a warning sign rather than a bargain — a pattern our scam-awareness coverage of fake GTA 6 offers has flagged repeatedly this year.
And if your country is not covered above, the method still works: the price is whatever your regional store lists, in your currency, with the tax treatment your store’s terms describe.

Why is GTA 6 more expensive in some countries?
Partly tax treatment — many countries include VAT or GST in the listed price while the US adds tax at checkout — and partly regional pricing policy. Prices are set per store in local currency, not converted from dollars, so exchange rates and local pricing decisions both play a part.
Can I buy GTA 6 from a cheaper country’s store?
Not safely. Console stores tie purchases to your account’s region, PlayStation codes are region-locked, and buying outside your region can breach store terms and strand the game on the wrong account. The saving is rarely worth the risk.
Do PlayStation and Xbox charge the same price?
In most countries, yes — October 2026 store checks found matching prices in the large majority of markets. Exceptions include Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where the two stores list different figures or even different currencies.
Closing Thoughts
There is no world price for GTA 6 — there are dozens of local ones, set store by store and mostly unchanged since pre-orders opened in June 2026. The US figures start the conversation at $79.99 and $99.99, but the number that matters is the one on your own store, in your own currency.
Check it before you buy, remember whether tax is inside it or added at checkout, and be suspicious of any price that undercuts every official store by a wide margin.
