GTA 6 Price in Australia: How Much It Costs and Where to Buy
The GTA 6 price in Australia is AUD 129.95 for the Standard Edition and AUD 159.95 for the Ultimate Edition. Those are the prices on the Australian PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store matches them. Some local retailers have listed the boxed Standard Edition a little cheaper, at AUD 125.
The game unlocks at 12am AEDT on Thursday 19 November 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Here's what you'll pay, where to buy it, and the Australia-specific traps to avoid.

GTA 6 prices in Australia at a glance
| Version | Price | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition (digital) | AUD 129.95 | PlayStation Store, Xbox Store | Official listing |
| Ultimate Edition (digital) | AUD 159.95 | PlayStation Store, Xbox Store | Adds in-game extras, not early access |
| Standard Edition (boxed) | AUD 125 to AUD 129.95 | JB Hi-Fi, Big W, Amazon Australia, EB Games, The Gamesmen | No disc: download code only |
| Ultimate Edition Upgrade | No Australian price shown yet | PlayStation Store | Listed, but not yet available to buy |
| Collector's Edition (merchandise) | AUD 699.95 | EB Games | Sold out within minutes in September |
The short version: if you want the base game, AUD 125 to AUD 129.95 is the going rate. If you want the Ultimate Edition, you'll pay AUD 159.95 digitally, because there's no boxed Ultimate Edition in Australia.
How the Australian price compares
Take-Two's official US prices are USD 79.99 for the Standard Edition and USD 99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Australian prices include GST, so a straight currency conversion doesn't tell you much.
The fairer comparison is with other new games here. GadgetGuy noted that God of War Ragnarök was listed at AUD 124.95 and Mario Kart World at AUD 119.95. GTA 6 sits at the top of the normal range for a new console game in Australia, not miles above it.
Where to buy GTA 6 in Australia
PlayStation Store and Xbox Store (digital)
Buying digitally costs the full AUD 129.95 or AUD 159.95, but it's the only way to get the free month of GTA+ that Rockstar gives digital pre-orders. On the PlayStation Store, the GTA+ month has to be claimed by 31 March 2027, and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade doesn't qualify.
Digital pre-orders can start downloading on 10 November 2026. See our GTA 6 preload guide for start times and steps.
JB Hi-Fi
JB Hi-Fi has listed the PS5 Standard Edition at AUD 125. When we checked on 3 November, the online listing showed "Not available", so check your local store or the Xbox version. JB's page says delivery and pick-up start on 12 November so you can install early.
EB Games
EB Games listed the Standard Edition at AUD 129.95 when pre-orders opened in June, according to GadgetGuy. EB was also the Australian home of the Collector's Edition (more on that below).
Big W and Amazon Australia
GadgetGuy reported Big W's Standard Edition at AUD 125 in June, and Press Start listed Amazon Australia at AUD 125 with free shipping in September. Both are worth checking if you want the cheapest boxed copy.
The Gamesmen
The Gamesmen listed the Standard Edition at AUD 129.95 in June, according to GadgetGuy.
The box has no disc
This catches a lot of people out. Rockstar confirmed in June that the physical version contains a download code, not a disc. The box goes on sale on 12 November so you can redeem the code and preload.
That means a "physical" copy still needs a full download over your NBN connection. Rockstar says the preload needs up to 212GB of space, depending on your console. Our GTA 6 download time guide shows how long that takes at common NBN speeds.
It also means you can't trade the game in or lend it to a mate the way you could with a disc.
Watch out for overseas codes
JB Hi-Fi's listing says its PS5 code only works with a PlayStation account registered to Australia. The Australian PlayStation Store also sells GTA 6 under a different product ID from the UK and European stores, which points to region-specific versions.
So be careful with cheap "GTA 6 key" sites that sell codes from other countries. A code from another region may not redeem on your Australian account, and refunds from grey-market sellers can be hard to get. Buying from an Australian store or retailer also keeps you covered by Australian Consumer Law.
Pre-order bonuses: what you get and the deadline
- Vintage Vice City Pack: Take-Two says all pre-orders and purchases before 20 November 2026 get it, on either edition, boxed or digital. Forbes reports it includes a '55 Vapid Stanier, an Ocean Beach garage, vintage outfits and hairstyles, and weapon patterns inspired by Tommy Vercetti.
- One month of GTA+: digital pre-orders only. GTA+ is Rockstar's membership for GTA Online, which right now means GTA 5's online mode. GTA 6 itself launches as a single-player game. We explain that in does GTA 6 have online?
The Australian PlayStation Store's wording is "by November 19, 2026" for its digital offer. To be safe, order before launch day.
Standard or Ultimate Edition?
The Ultimate Edition costs AUD 30 more. It adds exclusive vehicles, weapons, outfits, tattoos, extra in-game shops and a garage. It does not unlock the game earlier: both editions unlock at the same moment.
Rockstar says the Ultimate Edition's shops are "only open for business with the Ultimate Edition." If that matters to you, read our full breakdown: GTA 6 Ultimate Edition vs Standard.
Standard Edition owners will be able to buy an Ultimate Edition Upgrade later. JB Hi-Fi says it'll be sold on the PlayStation Store. The Australian upgrade price wasn't shown when we checked. Forbes puts the US difference at USD 20.
The Collector's Edition in Australia
The Collector's Edition (sold as the Goodtime State Vice City Collection) is a box of merchandise, including a Macca the Gator figure, Oakley sunglasses and a New Era cap. Press Start's contents list doesn't mention a copy of the game, so check any listing before you buy.
- EB Games listed it at AUD 699.95 on 28 September. It sold out almost instantly.
- JB Hi-Fi offered it through a ballot for Perks members.
- Rockstar Store pre-orders don't ship to Australia, according to Press Start.
If you see one on a marketplace for much more than AUD 699.95, that's a reseller markup.
