Nothing on this list includes the game. GTA 6 itself is $79.99 Standard or $99.99 Ultimate, sold on its own. Everything below is extra: controllers, a $400 collector's box, clothing, a map, music. Each item names who sells it and where we got the details, so you can tell the official items from look-alikes before you spend money in launch week.

THE SHORT VERSION

The official add-ons are Sony's two DualSense controllers ($84.99), Rockstar's Vice City Collection box ($399.99), Rockstar Store clothing and accessories ($4.99–$39.99), a free printable map on launch day (or a printed poster for $0.99), and the soundtrack album on CD and vinyl. There's no official GTA 6 Xbox controller and no Sony-made console bundle that we could find.

The DualSense controllers

OFFICIAL Sony announced two limited-edition controllers on September 3. Both have what the PlayStation Blog calls “a shimmering, color-shifting finish that brings together the hues of a Vice City sunset” and “custom palm tree details molded directly into the controller.” Sony describes the white one as Vice City “at daybreak” and the black one as its “nightlife”.

The difference that matters is where you can buy them. The white controller is sold “in limited quantities globally at direct.playstation.com and at participating retailers.” The black one is sold “exclusively through direct.playstation.com where available,” and “in other regions through select retailers.” If you live where PlayStation Direct operates and want the black one, Sony's own store is the only legitimate place to buy it new. Both launch on November 19, the same day as the game.

They're standard DualSense controllers in a new finish. Sony's post doesn't mention any in-game content or extra features. For what the DualSense does in GTA 6 itself (haptics, adaptive triggers, the speaker), see our console version guide.

Is there an Xbox one?

We found no official GTA 6 Xbox controller or console from Microsoft. The closest thing is from GameSir, which is selling two “GTA 6-inspired” versions of its G7 Pro Xbox controller, Sunset Boulevard and Ocean Breeze, for $89.99 each, shipping in November. UNOFFICIAL GamesRadar+ ran the story under the headline “Don't tell Rockstar,” and nothing in it says Rockstar licensed the designs. They use a sunset and palm trees, not GTA branding. That's fine if you like the look. Just don't buy one thinking it's official merchandise.

The $399.99 Vice City Collection

OFFICIAL This is the closest thing to a collector's edition, and it doesn't contain the game. Rockstar calls The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection “a premium Grand Theft Auto VI collectible set” themed on Leonida's TV show Macca the Gator (Rockstar Newswire). Per Shacknews, the box holds 11 items, including a Macca the Gator figure, Oakley Frogskins sunglasses, a New Era 9FORTY cap, a crossbody bag, a shot glass, an enamel pin set and a double-sided Leonida map poster. It's sold only on the Rockstar Store, ships November 19 and is available “while supplies last.” Our editions page covers how it fits next to Standard and Ultimate.

Rockstar Store clothing and accessories

OFFICIAL On October 8 Rockstar put a Grand Theft Auto VI Collection on the Rockstar Store, which its Newswire describes as “new apparel and collectibles inspired by Grand Theft Auto VI” (Rockstar Newswire). Item prices, as listed by GTA BOOM:

  • Logo and Goodtime State T-shirts: $29.99
  • Flexfit caps: $29.99
  • Canvas totes: $39.99
  • Vice City money clip: $24.99
  • Vice City Zippo lighter: $39.99
  • Keychains: $14.99–$19.99
  • Sticker sets: $4.99–$9.99

Prices are US dollars and may differ by region or change; check the store before you order. GTA BOOM reports free shipping on orders over about $74.99.

The Selfridges pop-up (UK, until November 28)

REPORTED Selfridges opened a GTA 6 pop-up on Monday, November 9, at its London flagship and its Manchester store, running until November 28, per VGC. VGC counts more than 60 pieces of merchandise, over half of them exclusive to Selfridges, from a £5 shot glass and a £275 Winmau dartboard set to a £450 Vice City Manatees football helmet and varsity jackets at £1,750 and £2,500. It also reported queues of more than 100,000 people on Selfridges' online store, with some items said to be sold out.

The centerpiece is a real Grotti Cheetah, a Vice City-painted retro supercar that West Coast Customs built with Rockstar. Dexerto reports Selfridges lists it at £1 million, available only through its personal shopping service. VGC frames the pop-up as part of GTA 6's marketing campaign. Neither outlet quotes Rockstar or Selfridges on what's licensed, so we've labeled this section reported.

The map that isn't in the box

OFFICIAL GTA boxes used to come with a paper map. GTA 6's physical edition holds only a download code, and Rockstar has moved the map online. Its November 3 post, as quoted by GamesRadar+: “On November 19 we will be adding an official printable Grand Theft Auto VI cover art poster and map of Leonida” to its website. “A double-sided physical version of this poster will also be made available shortly after launch from the Rockstar Store” for “$0.99 on its own or as a free gift with any purchase from the Rockstar Store.” If you're ordering anything else from the Rockstar Store anyway, the printed map costs nothing extra. More on the box itself in our code-in-box explainer.

The soundtrack on CD and vinyl

OFFICIAL Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, 34 original tracks made with Atlantic Records, comes out on November 19 on streaming, CD and vinyl. The official store has its own exclusive pressings, and other vinyl colors go through regular music retailers. Details are in our album explainer. Justice's Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score follows on December 11 on streaming, double CD and triple vinyl (Rockstar Newswire).

Console bundles

We didn't find a Sony- or Microsoft-made GTA 6 console bundle. Packages that pair a console with the game do exist, but they're put together by retailers. In the UK, for example, carrier EE sells PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro bundles with the Standard Edition, per GamesRadar+. A retailer bundle is a normal console plus a normal copy of the game, so compare it against buying the two separately, and check whether the game arrives as a code or as a download on the console.

Spotting fakes in launch week

Launch week brings counterfeit merch and fake “limited edition” listings along with it. A few checks before you pay:

  • Buy the black DualSense from Sony. Where PlayStation Direct operates, it's the only place Sony sells the black controller new. A marketplace listing is a reseller at best.
  • There's no official collector's edition that includes the game. A listing offering the game plus collectibles in one box is either a retailer bundle of separate items or not real.
  • Rockstar's own merch is on the Rockstar Store. “Official GTA 6” clothing on a random site, with no licence mentioned, probably isn't.
  • Nothing here comes with in-game items, as far as Sony's and Rockstar's announcements say. A seller promising bonus in-game cash with a controller or a shirt is making it up.

Our scams guide covers fake downloads, codes and phishing.

What we don't know

  • Prices for the album's CD and vinyl editions, and for the Justice score.
  • A ship date for the printed $0.99 map poster.
  • Whether the Miami Heat's Vice City uniforms, made with Rockstar, Nike and Travis Scott, go on general sale. They're reported to be worn and sold around the November 18 game, per Sole Retriever. See GTA 6's Miami campaign.
  • How long the controllers and the Vice City Collection stay in stock. Both are sold in limited quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does any GTA 6 merch or controller include the game?

No. Sony's DualSense controllers, Rockstar's $399.99 Vice City Collection and the Rockstar Store clothing are all sold without the game. GTA 6 is $79.99 Standard or $99.99 Ultimate on its own.

How much is the GTA 6 DualSense controller?

$84.99 in the US, £74.99 in the UK and €84.99 in Europe, per the PlayStation Blog. There are two, white and black, and both launch on November 19.

Where can I buy the black GTA 6 DualSense?

Sony says the black controller is sold exclusively through PlayStation Direct where that store operates, and through select retailers in other regions. The white one is also at participating retailers.

Is there an official GTA 6 Xbox controller?

We found none from Microsoft or Rockstar. GameSir sells two GTA 6-inspired G7 Pro Xbox controllers for $89.99, but GamesRadar+'s report doesn't say they're licensed by Rockstar.

Does GTA 6 come with a map?

Not in the box, which holds a download code. Rockstar will post a free printable map of Leonida on its website on November 19, and sell a printed double-sided poster shortly after launch for $0.99, or free with any Rockstar Store order.

Is there a GTA 6 PS5 bundle?

We found no Sony-made bundle. Some retailers sell a PS5 with the game as a package, such as EE in the UK.
