Rockstar skipped GTA 6 early access; two paid editions set at $80 and $100

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says Rockstar chose not to offer paid early access for GTA 6, prioritizing perceived value rather than adding higher-priced launch perks. The game is available to preorder in two editions — a $80 Standard and a $100 Ultimate — and preorders are reportedly very high but remain cancellable before release. Take-Two expects GTA 6 to raise company revenue by about 20%; GTA 6 launches Nov. 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and an extended preview will stream on Netflix on Aug. 27.
