GTA 6 physical edition: what the boxed copy costs, and what is actually in the box

The Rockstar Games Store sells a physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI, marked as a physical SKU, at 79.99 USD for PlayStation 5 and the same 79.99 USD for Xbox Series X.

Those are the only two platforms the store offers the game on: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

What is inside the box

Take-Two describes the physical version as containing a download code inside the box, arriving in stores from November 12, 2026.

A box that carries a code is still a box: it ships, it sits on a shelf, it can be wrapped and given away. What it is not is a way to play without downloading the game first.

Price, availability and age, as the store lists them

The two dates in circulation answer different questions. The store's own listing starts availability on November 19, 2026, the launch day; Take-Two's date of November 12, 2026 is when boxes reach stores so buyers can pre-load ahead of that launch.

The order limits nobody mentions

• The store caps orders at 4 units of Grand Theft Auto VI per order.
• Free shipping on the store applies from 74.99 USD, a threshold a single 79.99 USD copy already clears.
• The store requires a minimum age of 18 to buy the game, on both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X listing.

That minimum age of 18 is the store's own purchase requirement, not a rating. The ESRB entry for the game still reads rating pending.

Where the boxed copy can be bought

Take-Two lists the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Games Store, and global retailers and storefronts as the places carrying the game.
