Rockstar Opens GTA 6 Pre-Orders in India with Official Pricing

MUMBAI — Rockstar Games has officially opened worldwide pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), with Indian regional pricing now confirmed across major digital and retail storefronts. The announcement, which went live at midnight local time on June 25, 2026, ends months of speculation regarding the title's launch cost in the Indian market.

For PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users in India, the Standard Edition of the game is priced at ₹5,999, while the feature-rich Ultimate Edition is listed at ₹7,499. This pricing structure aligns with global adjustments for the highly anticipated open-world blockbuster, which is scheduled for a worldwide launch on November 19, 2026.

Pricing and Edition Breakdown

The entry point for Grand Theft Auto VI in India is set at ₹5,999 for the Standard Edition, positioning it at a premium tier compared to many recent AAA releases that typically debut between ₹4,999 and ₹5,599. Despite this increase, industry analysts note that the price remains within the expected range for a high-profile title of this magnitude.

For dedicated fans, Rockstar is offering the Ultimate Edition at ₹7,499. Unlike standard early-access packs, the Ultimate Edition includes a collection of premium content that unlocks progressively throughout the journey of the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia. This includes:

• Exclusive premium vehicles and weapon skins.

• Customizable outfits, hairstyles, and apparel.

• Additional side activities and business-related missions embedded across the state of Leonida.
