GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the US — here's the full regional price list and where these numbers actually come from.
Price by Region

Why These Specific Numbers
$79.99 puts GTA 6 at the now-standard price ceiling for AAA console games this generation, a jump from GTA 5's $59.99 launch price in 2013. That's a broader industry shift, not a Rockstar-specific decision — see our breakdown of why GTA 6 costs more than previous games for the full context.
The $20 gap to Ultimate buys a fixed set of cosmetic extras and exclusive shop access, not extra story content — full breakdown in our editions comparison.
