Rockstar has finally pulled back the curtain on GTA 6, confirming fresh details, releasing new screenshots, and launching preorders. There's a huge amount of news to take in, including plenty of reaction from fans. In the live blog, below, we'll continue to update you on everything that's happening in the world of GTA 6, big and small, bringing you hot takes, all the news (official and rumors), and anything Rockstar releases to keep fans going.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition 'paywall'
How do you feel about the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition "paywall," as some have called it? There are exclusive shops and even a mission tied to the $100 Ultimate Edition, which some have complained about. Exclusive content locked to more expensive editions is nothing new for video games, of course. And indeed, Rockstar games have done this in the past. But what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
As a reminder, here's what you get with it:
- '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Paradise Garage: A Mud Club monster offering impressive off-road handling for the backwoods of Mount Kalaga and beyond, conveniently stored at a garage in Watson Bay, featuring a weapon locker to customize your loadout for any occasion plus a stash box to deposit stolen goods to be fenced.

PlayStation is all-in on GTA 6
It's clear that Sony has partnered with Rockstar for the marketing of GTA 6, and it's resulted in some cool changes clearly designed to give the game an almost exclusive feel on PS5. For example, load up your PS5 today and you'll be greeted by a new custom user interface advertising GTA 6. Check it out in the video below:
Scalpers are trying to take advantage of GTA 6 already
It was perhaps inevitable: scalpers are of course interested in cashing in on GTA 6, with a number of listings for the on the likes of eBay at inflated prices already. But it seems unlikely they will remain, or that scalpers will find much success, as the physical edition of GTA 6 remains freely available to preorder.
The PS5 version of GTA 6 did briefly sell out on Amazon earlier today, which perhaps explains the scalper rush on the game, but it's now back in stock. As always, do not buy GTA 6 at anything but face value or below.
Fans make their own GTA 6 disc
Without an official GTA 6 physical edition with a disc, fans are making their own and actually selling them. Over on Etsy, one person is selling a fan-made 'GTA 6 Collector's Edition Display Set,' which includes a custom case and disc, for $55. It costs extra if you want a rotating stand to put the disc on. Expect more of this sort of thing over the next few months as people try to cash in on the enormous interest in all things GTA.
