GTA 6 $400 Collector's Set Doesn't Include the Game
Rockstar Games has announced a $400 collector's set for Grand Theft Auto VI that notably excludes the game itself. The package contains various branded merchandise, including sunglasses, a hat, and a figure, requiring fans to purchase the game separately.
Why it matters
This highlights a growing trend in the gaming industry of high-priced collector's editions that prioritize physical merchandise over the actual software, sparking debate among consumers.
At $400, it's fair to expect Rockstar Games' newly announced Grand Theft Auto VI collector's set to at least include a digital code for the game, but that isn't the case. Instead, the box is merely filled with "premium" Vice City-themed merch.
Titled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State - Vice City Collection , the set includes 11 items inspired by the in-game TV show Macca the Gator . This includes a pair of Oakley sunglasses, a New Era snapback hat, a crossbody bag, a keychain, and a double-sided poster of GTA 6 's fictional state of Leonida, based on Florida.
