GTA 6 Standard costs US$79.99 and the full Ultimate Edition costs US$99.99 on the US PlayStation and Xbox pages checked on September 16, 2026. Xbox separately lists the Ultimate Edition Upgrade at US$20.00, and that add-on requires the base game.
Those are US storefront amounts, not currency conversions or a promise of one worldwide price. The amount displayed by your regional store at checkout is the relevant price for your purchase. A base game, full premium edition and upgrade should not be treated as interchangeable listings.
The checked US price table
| Product | US price | Checked source | Base game included? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | PlayStation / Xbox | Yes |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | PlayStation / Xbox | Yes |
| Ultimate Edition Upgrade | $20.00 | Xbox add-on listing | No—base game required |
Take-Two’s preorder announcement also gives the $79.99 and $99.99 edition prices. The separately checked Xbox upgrade listing matters because an edition-price difference alone would not prove that an upgrade can be purchased for that difference. Here the US Xbox add-on has its own published amount.
What the higher edition price buys
Standard supplies the game. Ultimate adds its content package, including named vehicles, weapons, appearance options and activities. The Standard-versus-Ultimate comparison is the decision page for those differences; the Ultimate contents reference lists the package in detail.
The price does not establish more favorable graphics settings, a better frame rate or an earlier playable release. Those would require their own official claims. A reader interested only in the base story should compare the advertised content rather than interpret the premium price as a technical advantage.
Why your local price may look different
Store territories use their own currencies and purchase terms. A converted US amount can omit differences in taxes, local pricing or payment charges. It is useful for a rough personal comparison, but it is not an official price for a country whose store you have not checked.
When comparing a retailer with a console store, match the platform, edition, format and included offers first. Then compare the final payable total and the applicable account/code conditions. A cheaper-looking upgrade listing cannot replace a base game, and a code for a different platform cannot be made equivalent by converting the currency.
The buying-channel guide explains digital and boxed options. Rockstar’s format guidance says the Standard retail box contains a download code and no disc; Ultimate is digital, with a separate upgrade route for Standard owners after code redemption.
Purchase offers are not the same as a lower game price
The Vintage Vice City Pack is an eligible-purchase offer. It should not be subtracted from the game’s price using an invented standalone value. The published offer does not establish what every individual item would cost on its own.
A qualifying digital purchase also has a GTA+ offer. PlayStation’s terms describe a month at no extra cost followed by paid renewal unless canceled. That is a separate membership arrangement, not a recurring charge stated as necessary for GTA 6’s single-player story. Review the platform’s claim screen and eligibility before accepting it.
Make the price comparison useful
Decide which named extras you would actually use, check whether the full edition or separate upgrade meets that need, and read the exact regional listing. There is no verified basis here for assigning a monetary value to unreleased activities or calculating a cost per hour from a predicted campaign length.
The preorder guide brings those checks into the order process, and the Launch Hub provides the release context. No confirmed PC price is available in the official launch sources reviewed here; console pricing should not be copied onto a hypothetical PC store listing.
Questions readers ask
Is GTA 6 $100?
The full Ultimate Edition is listed at US$99.99 on the checked US stores. Standard is US$79.99, so “$100” is not a precise description of every edition.
Can I pay $20 for GTA 6?
The checked $20 Xbox listing is the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. It requires the base game and is not a standalone copy of GTA 6.
Are these prices guaranteed everywhere until launch?
No. They are dated US storefront observations. Check the current regional product and checkout amount for your purchase.
