GTA 6 Price in Australia: Standard and Ultimate in Australian Dollars

Australian game prices are among the highest in the world in raw numbers, partly because they include 10% GST and are set separately rather than converted from US dollars. Here is the breakdown and how to pay a little less.

GTA 6 price in Australia

The digital store prices come from price guides reading the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store listings. Retail prices change often, so compare stores. The Ultimate Edition is only sold digitally. What it adds is in Standard vs Ultimate.

Ways to pay less in Australia

• Compare boxed prices. Big retailers sometimes undercut the digital store by a few dollars. The box holds a download code, so it plays exactly the same.
• Use discounted gift cards. PlayStation and Xbox gift cards are sometimes discounted at supermarkets and department stores, which effectively lowers the digital price.
• Skip the Ultimate Edition at launch. You can add the upgrade later.

Keep codes and gift cards in the Australian region if your account is Australian.

Console and storage costs in Australia

If you need a console, the Xbox Series S is the cheapest that runs GTA 6, and the PS5 Digital Edition is a sensible pick since the boxed game has no disc. Storage is the extra cost people forget. GTA 6 is estimated at about 200 GB, and the 512 GB Series S leaves only about 134 GB free after installing it. A 1 TB console or a storage upgrade avoids constant juggling. Check your console in the storage calculator before you buy anything, and see the best console for GTA 6 for a full comparison.

Boxed copies and pre-load

Boxed copies go on sale from 12 November so you can redeem the code and pre-load. Digital pre-load opens at midnight local time on 12 November 2026. Steps for both consoles are in the GTA 6 pre-load guide.

When GTA 6 unlocks in Australia

With the expected rolling midnight launch, eastern states start at 12:00 AM AEDT on 19 November, about 11 hours before the UK, and Perth three hours later. Times for every state are on GTA 6 release time in Australia.
