Where to buy GTA 6: the launch kit
The game first, then what you might need around it: a console, room on the drive, a controller or headset, store credit. Each item says why it's here. No rankings.
How this page works: the official PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store links carry no tag. Amazon links are affiliate links, picked by the country you're browsing from: amazon.com for the US and Canada, amazon.de for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Elsewhere there's no Amazon button, because codes and gift cards are region-locked. We never show Amazon's price. Listings checked November 12, 2026.

Before you buy
It's a code, not a disc
The boxed edition holds a download code. Rockstar says no disc is included.
PS5 codes are region-locked
A PS5 code only works on a PSN account from the region it was sold for, and the UK is a region of its own. Xbox codes aren't locked. How it works
Preload from Nov 10
Preloading starts Nov 10: midnight local on PS5, 12 a.m. GMT on Xbox. Up to 212 GB. A boxed code preloads only once you've redeemed it.
Vintage Vice City Pack
Comes with every preorder or purchase before Nov 20, Standard or Ultimate.
Consoles
A console to play it on
GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Sony's store lists it as PS5 Pro Enhanced; the Series S runs it too, with the least storage to spare.
- PS5
PlayStation 5 or PS5 Pro
GTA 6 runs on every PS5, and Sony's store lists it as PS5 Pro Enhanced (what that does and doesn't mean). On 12 Nov neither Amazon store sold a PS5 itself, only third-party offers far above list price, so there's no Amazon link here.
- Xbox
Xbox Series X, 1 TB
The bigger Xbox, with the most room for the install. PS5 vs Xbox covers what's known about how the versions compare.
- Xbox
Xbox Series S, 512 GB
The cheapest console that runs GTA 6. About 364 GB of its drive is usable, so read the file-size guide before you count on it alone.
Storage
Room for the install
The install size isn't official yet. These two are the drives that can actually run Series X|S and PS5 games, not just store them.
- PS5 storage
WD_BLACK SN850P for PS5, 2 TB
GTA 6's install size isn't official. Our file-size guide says to plan for about 200 GB, and a launch PS5 has about 667 GB usable. This drive is officially licensed for PS5 and comes with a heatsink.
- Xbox storage
Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S, 2 TB
The Series S has about 364 GB usable. USB drives can store Series X|S games but not run them; this card can. See the file-size guide.
Controllers & headsets
In your hands, on your ears
Official hardware only, each with a reason. No "best headset" list.
- Controller
DualSense – Grand Theft Auto VI White Limited EditionList price $84.99
Sony's official GTA VI controller, out Nov 19. The black version is a PlayStation Direct exclusive. Our report.
- Controller
Xbox Wireless Controller, Carbon Black
Microsoft's standard controller, as a spare or for a second player. There is no official GTA VI Xbox controller; the themed ones on Amazon are third-party shells.
- PS5 audio
PlayStation Pulse Elite wireless headset
Sony's own wireless headset for PS5 and its 3D audio. Official hardware, nothing to configure on the console side.
- Xbox audio
Xbox Wireless Headset
Microsoft's own headset. It pairs with a Series X|S directly, without an adapter.
Gift cards
Store credit for the game or Online
Digital codes for the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. A card only works on an account from the same country: a US card on a US account, a German card on a German account.
- Gift card
PlayStation Store gift card, digital code
Store credit for the game, the Ultimate upgrade or anything sold later. Linked only where it fits your account: US cards for the US, German cards for Germany.
- Gift card
Xbox gift card, digital code
Microsoft Store credit, same idea: the game, the Ultimate upgrade or later purchases. Linked only for US and German visitors, because the card must match your account's country.
