The game itself – which some analysts say could be the most expensive ever made – will be released on 19 November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Rockstar added that players who pre-order digital versions of the game will be able to begin pre-loading it on their consoles on November 12 to ensure they are able to play at launch.
The physical version of GTA 6 will also be available starting 12 November to support pre-loading.
The more expensive “Ultimate Edition” will include features such as more vehicles, weapons and outfits for the characters.
Following the reveal, some fans, external questioned the point of purchasing a physical copy, if it did not contain a disc.
Others queried, external whether they would be able to re-sell the game after, as can be done with normal physical editions with a disc, or whether the code would be shareable.
Joost van Dreunen, a professor of games business at NYU Stern said the pricing was a “clever strategy” by Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two.
“Take-Two is catering to the largest possible audience while offering die-hards an upgraded tier,” he said.
