GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Pre-Orders Are Outpacing Standard Version Despite Higher Price
| HIGHLIGHTS • GTA 6 Ultimate Edition is currently attracting more early pre-orders than the Standard Edition. • The Ultimate Edition costs Rs 7,499 in India, compared with Rs 5,999 for the Standard version. • Take-Two’s CEO suggests fans may have to wait for a major GTA 6 discount. |
It is evident that people are filled with excitement and joy ahead of the release of the GTA 6; sheer eagerness with which they have been awaiting the game is clear from pre-order trends, with some fans even willing to pay a premium for the more expensive editions. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed that, despite the high price point, pre-orders for the ‘Ultimate Edition’ are particularly strong.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Gets Strong Pre-Orders
Speaking to CNBC, Zelnick said that early GTA 6 pre-orders are “skewing more to the premium edition.” However, he clarified that this does not necessarily mean the Ultimate Edition will eventually sell more copies than the Standard Edition.
The reason could simply be the type of players ordering the game this early. Hardcore GTA fans are more likely to pre-order immediately, and they may also be more comfortable paying extra for additional content.
In India, the GTA 6 Standard Edition costs Rs 5,999, while the Ultimate Edition is priced at Rs 7,499. Both editions include the main game, but the Ultimate version adds extra digital content and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. Players who pre-order either version will also receive a one-month GTA+ subscription and the Vintage Vice City Pack.

Don’t Expect a GTA 6 Discount Soon
Zelnick was also asked whether players should wait for major shopping events such as Black Friday or Christmas to get GTA 6 at a cheaper price. While he could not speak for individual retailers, he highlighted GTA 5 as an example of Rockstar’s long-term pricing strategy. The game maintained its price for considerably longer than many other entertainment releases. This suggests that players hoping for a major GTA 6 discount shortly after launch may have to wait. Retailers can still offer their own promotions, but Take-Two does not control those prices.
