Ever since its announcement post was shared on social media, GTA 6 has took over the internet, once again. It’s not even fully revealed right now but the hype is only growing stronger each day. Everyone is waiting for its first-ever trailer next month. However, Rockstar’s team may also end up unleashing another big news while revealing the trailer – pre-orders for the next Grand Theft Auto.

Yes, that’s very much possible to happen, thanks to a wild theory based on what the studio did with Red Dead Redemption 2, more than seven years ago. It looks like GTA 6 might follow a similar path in order to offer fans a chance to grab the game in advance. But, there’s also another possibility that might spoil their happiness. Especially, when it comes to managing their pockets.

GTA 6 pre-order editions rumored to cost $70, $100, and $200 following a trailer launch

For the uninitiated, Rockstar Games had released the first-ever Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer on October 20, 2016. Before that, it had even teased the sequel to 2010’s original title with a simple image on social media. Speaking of the teaser footage, it was premiered on various platforms, including YouTube. Interestingly, the description of the game had also contained a pre-order link. In simple words, the studio had the strategy to give the fans an opportunity to buy the title almost two years before it eventually made its way.

Now speaking of GTA 6, Rockstar may use a similar strategy this year as well. It’s already known that the game will receive its trailer in early December, 2023. It is very much possible that alongside the trailer, the devs may also share pre-order links for GTA 6.

Moreover, some industry insiders also believe that Rockstar may charge differently for GTA 6 when it comes to its editions. To be precise, it’s rumored to have three separate editions, based on a scooper’s post on X (formerly Twitter).

According to the post, GTA 6 is expected to cost $69.99 for its Standard Edition, including the story mode and online content. On the other hand, GTA 6 Special Edition and Collector’s Edition are expected to charge $99.99 and $199.99 each. They are rumored to have more rewards, currency and also exclusive collectible items, apart from the main game itself.

What’s the release date of GTA 6 trailer?

Sadly, that’s something which is still not certain apart from the fact that the launch window is of December. Rockstar’s recent post clearly mentioned that fans will witness the first trailer very early – without sharing anything on the date itself.

Not to mention that the title of the game is not actually confirmed as of now. The devs have only called it the ‘next Grand Theft Auto’. Speaking of the story, almost the entire information is under wraps at the moment.
