GTA 6 Price by Country — Full Regional Comparison (Standard & Ultimate Edition)

GTA 6's $79.99 US price tag made headlines as the new ceiling for AAA game pricing — but that number only tells part of the story. Like most global game releases, Rockstar and its platform partners set prices independently in each region's local currency, and the gap between the cheapest and most expensive places to buy GTA 6 is enormous. Here's the full breakdown.

USD-equivalent figures are approximate conversions reported at time of publication and will shift with exchange rates. Always check your local PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Rockstar Games Launcher for the exact current price.

Converted to US dollars, the Standard Edition ranges from roughly $58 in South Korea to over $106 in Israel — a gap of nearly 84%. A few factors drive this:

• ▸Local purchasing power. Publishers price lower in markets where a US-equivalent price would put the game out of reach for most players.
• ▸VAT and sales tax. EU and UK prices generally include VAT in the listed price, while the US price is typically pre-tax.
• ▸Static currency pricing. Rockstar and platform holders set a fixed local-currency price rather than updating it daily against exchange rate fluctuations — so as currencies move, the effective USD price drifts with them.

Mexico is a useful case study in how currency-conversion decisions — not the sticker price itself — can quietly raise what players actually pay. Starting August 20, 2026, Sony will begin showing PlayStation Store prices in Mexican pesos instead of forcing players to check out in US dollars. That sounds like a convenience upgrade, and for many players it will be. The catch: Sony is converting at a rate of roughly 20.5 pesos per dollar, notably above the real market exchange rate of around 17.53. The practical effect is a built-in markup — Mexican PlayStation Store players will pay more pesos for the same $79.99 game than the real exchange rate would suggest.

It's a reminder that a region's "price" isn't fixed once and left alone — platform holders periodically adjust conversion methodology, and those adjustments can move the real cost up or down without Rockstar changing anything on its end.

Worth noting: these prices apply whether you buy digitally or pick up the code-in-a-box physical edition — since the physical release still just unlocks a digital license, there's no cheaper "physical discount" to chase regionally. The Standard vs. Ultimate Edition gap (roughly $20 across every region we found) is the more relevant decision, and our full edition breakdown covers what the extra cost actually gets you.
