GTA 6 is set for November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two previously laid off its AI team, highlighting a cautious stance on AI in development.

GTA 6 Preorders Lean Heavily to the $100 Ultimate Edition, Sensor Tower Finds

Sensor Tower reports that 89% of GTA6 preorders are for the $100 Ultimate Edition rather than the $80 standard edition, with about 90% of Xbox buyers and 88.5% of PlayStation buyers choosing the premium SKU.

GTA VI Premium Edition Tops Pre-Orders, CEO Confirms

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a CNBC interview that GTA VI pre-orders are stronger for the $100 Ultimate Edition than the $80 standard version, with pre-order revenue already estimated to exceed $260 million; the premium edition’s extras are cosmetic, and discounts post-launch are likely limited as Take-Two keeps pricing stable, a point of contention given GTA VI is a single-player title.

GTA VI Pre-Orders Open, Physical Disc Not Included at Launch

Rockstar opened Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders ahead of its November 19 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with standard edition priced at $80/£70/€80 and an Ultimate Edition at $100/£90/€100 offering exclusive in‑game items; there will be no physical disc at launch, as boxed copies contain a download code, and pre-orders include a Vintage Vice City pack. GTA Online will not launch with GTA VI, which is a single‑player title at release, though analysts forecast a blockbuster debut with around 40 million units in the first year and pre-orders potentially generating $1 billion in revenue in an hour, despite launch delays and a unionization‑related lawsuit against Rockstar.

"Exploring the Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition: Sony Policy, Definitive Edition, and Xbox Series X History"

The lack of on-disc DLC in the Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for PlayStation is reportedly due to Sony's policy, which requires a re-release with on-disc DLC to be registered as a new product. CD Projekt Red likely didn't include the DLC on the disc to avoid the time and cost involved in recompiling and resubmitting the game to Sony. This has left PlayStation fans with an inferior version of the Ultimate Edition.
