The PS5 Price, Up Front
On PS5, GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition on the PlayStation Store. Those are the exact US list prices, confirmed when Take-Two announced pricing on 24 June 2026.
In the UK, the PlayStation Store lists Standard at £69.99 and Ultimate at £89.99. In the eurozone, the prices are €79.99 and €99.99.
The prices match the Xbox store exactly. There is no PlayStation premium and no Xbox discount, so the platform choice comes down to the console you own, not the price of the game.
Pre-orders opened on the PlayStation Store on 25 June 2026, and the game launches on 19 November 2026. This page covers what PS5 buyers pay, when they pay it, and what arrives with each edition.

1. The Two PS5 Editions
The Standard Edition is the complete game. PS5 buyers get the full story of Jason and Lucia and the full map of Leonida, with nothing in the story reserved for a pricier edition.
The Ultimate Edition adds the Ultimate Edition Upgrade: a set of extra vehicles, weapons, outfits, shops, and jobs that unlock gradually through the story. The base game underneath is the same download.
Both editions carry a PS5 Pro Enhanced label on the PlayStation Store. That label reflects the store listing; the detail of how GTA 6 runs on PS5 Pro is a separate question, and Rockstar has not published frame-rate targets for either console.
Whichever edition you choose, buying before 20 November 2026 adds the Vintage Vice City Pack, and a digital PlayStation Store purchase adds one month of GTA+ on top.
2. What the Extra $20 Buys on PS5
The $20 between Standard and Ultimate is the price of the in-game extras alone. Rockstar’s support list for the upgrade includes vehicles like the ’95 Grotti Cheetah and the Shitzu Squalo speedboat, two revolvers, extra clothing and gear, and five shops exclusive to Ultimate owners.
Those extras unlock as the story progresses. They are spread across the chapters rather than delivered as one bundle at the start, which matters for anyone expecting day-one use of everything listed.
Standard owners can buy the upgrade later instead. Rockstar lists the Ultimate Edition Upgrade as a separate purchase, priced at $20 on the US Xbox store, and the full contents are compared in our guide to what you get in each edition.
On PS5 there is no early access attached to either edition. Ultimate buyers pay for items, not for time, and everyone starts playing on 19 November 2026.
One more pricing detail is visible in the listings themselves: the two editions are separate PlayStation Store products, shown side by side on the game’s page, so there is no hidden third option waiting at checkout.
3. When the PlayStation Store Charges You
A digital pre-order on the PlayStation Store is charged at checkout. The full $79.99 or $99.99, plus any applicable sales tax in the US, leaves your payment method when you place the order, not when the game launches.
That differs from some other stores, where payment is taken closer to release. A PS5 buyer pre-ordering in summer 2026 has been charged since summer 2026.
Under the PlayStation Store’s cancellation policy, a pre-order can be cancelled for a refund of the original payment method up to the point the download, including pre-load, begins. Once pre-load starts, that cancellation route closes.
If you are unsure which edition you want, the payment timing argues for patience: you can order later, pay the same price, and still qualify for the Vintage Vice City Pack as long as you buy before 20 November 2026.
Because the charge is immediate, a PS5 pre-order is best treated as a purchase, not a reservation. The money is committed from the day you order, and getting it back runs through the cancellation policy rather than through simply never being charged.
4. Pre-Load, Storage, and Launch Day on PS5
Digital PS5 pre-orders pre-load from 10 November 2026, starting at midnight local time. The files download and install early, then stay locked until the game unlocks on 19 November.
If pre-load has not appeared at midnight in your region, check the game’s store page and your download queue again after a console restart before assuming anything has changed.
Pre-loading is where a PS5 pre-order earns its keep. Rockstar has said the pre-load needs up to 212 GB of free space, so clearing room before 10 November matters more than ordering early.
Our guide to how GTA 6 pre-loading works walks through the timing, the storage figure, and the settings to check on the console before pre-load week.
Boxed PS5 copies go on sale later, from 12 November 2026, and they contain a download code rather than a disc. A boxed buyer redeems the code and downloads the same files, two days behind digital buyers.
5. The Boxed PS5 Copy and What It Costs
The boxed Standard Edition sells at the same $79.99 list price at major retailers. Rockstar’s own store sells the boxed Standard copy, dispatched through its fulfilment partner, and retailers take payment on their own terms, often at shipping rather than at order.
There is no boxed Ultimate Edition. Rockstar’s support answer is direct that a physical version of the Ultimate Edition is not available, so Ultimate on PS5 is digital only.
There is also no disc in the standard box. The case holds a download code, which is why boxed copies went on sale a week before launch: the code exists to be redeemed and pre-loaded, not played from a disc.
Collectors should also note the separate merchandise box Rockstar sells for $399.99. It is a box of Vice City items with no game inside, and it does not change the PS5 price of the game itself.
6. PS4 Owners and the DualSense
GTA 6 does not have a PS4 version. There is no PS4 price, no PS4 pre-order, and no upgrade path from a PS4 copy, because no PS4 copy exists. Our article on GTA 6 on PS4 and Xbox One explains the situation for last-generation owners.
Playing GTA 6 on PlayStation means owning a PS5 or PS5 Pro. That hardware cost is the real barrier for PS4 owners, and no edition pricing changes it.
One optional extra with a confirmed price is the limited-edition GTA 6 DualSense controller, reported at $84.99, with pre-orders that opened on 10 September 2026 ahead of a 19 November release. It is a themed controller, not part of either game edition.
Standard DualSense controllers work with the game as normal. The limited edition is a collector’s item, and its price buys the artwork, not any in-game advantage.
7. Checking Your Regional PS5 Price
The figures on this page are the US, UK, and eurozone listings. Australian PlayStation Store prices have been reported at AU$129.95 for Standard and AU$159.95 for Ultimate, and other regions set their own numbers rather than converting the US price.
The check that matters is your own store page. Open GTA 6 on the PlayStation Store signed into your account, in your region, and the price shown there is the price you will pay.
PlayStation Store gift cards can fund the purchase like any other. That is also the practical gifting route on PlayStation, since the store does not gift games directly: a card bought for the edition’s value, $80 or $100, covers the price with a small margin for US tax.

Summary
On PS5, GTA 6 costs $79.99, or $99.99 for Ultimate, paid in full at checkout on the PlayStation Store. The price is identical to Xbox, the boxed copy is a code in a box at the same price, and the only extras that change the bill are the optional ones: a GTA+ subscription that renews after its free month, and hardware like the themed DualSense.
Order when you are ready rather than early: the price does not change, the Vintage Vice City Pack runs to 20 November 2026, and the date that actually matters is 10 November, when pre-load opens and PS5 pre-order cancellations close.
