One GTA 6 preorder on the Xbox Store would cost about as much as 25 standard copies, judging by the price tag deals tracker Wario64 caught on November 14. Microsoft and Rockstar have not commented, and a Brazilian outlet believes it is a store glitch.
Wario64, an X account that tracks deals and preorders, posted a screenshot of the game's Xbox Store page: the green Pre-order button reads $1,999.99+, with the base Grand Theft Auto VI selected as the edition.
Brazil saw the same spike
Brazilian site GamePlaysCassi spotted the same thing in its region the same day, with the preorder listed at R$ 9,779. According to the site, the price went up across every Xbox Store region, so its author calls it almost certainly a Microsoft store error. Neither Wario64 nor the Brazilian outlet says whether the price is still live or whether anyone actually paid it.
The real price is 25 times lower
Officially, GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the US; see our GTA 6 price breakdown for every edition. The Xbox listing is 25 times the base price and 20 times the most expensive one.
This is not the first Xbox Store hiccup around GTA 6. In July, Vice reported that some players found the Ultimate Edition in their purchase history without buying it. One entry showed CA$156.79, yet nobody was charged and the game was marked as "not owned". Vice had no official explanation from Microsoft or Rockstar then either.
If you are buying on Xbox, check the cart total before you pay.
Will Microsoft fix the listing before launch, when the preorder turns into a regular purchase?
