The GTA 6 Vice City Collection costs $399.99 and contains no copy of the game, so playing on launch day means a separate purchase from $79.99. Rockstar Games opened pre-orders on its own store on 24 September 2026, capped at one per customer. The box ships from 19 November 2026.

What Is in the Vice City Collection

The set holds eleven physical items and nothing digital. Its full name is Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, and Rockstar is selling it “while supplies last”.

  • Macca the Gator figure: six inches tall, with a twist-open stash compartment in the base.
  • Oakley Frogskins sunglasses: matte black, with Prizm Sapphire lenses and a GTA VI logo.
  • New Era 9FORTY A-Frame snapback: with Vice City and Leonida detailing.
  • Leonida Keys crossbody bag: ripstop fabric with a black and pink lining.
  • Macca the Gator magnetic mirror: pink glass.
  • Chunkee the Manatee shot glass.
  • Vice City swizzle spoon.
  • Vice City razor blade keychain.
  • Leonida Keys enamel pin set: nine pins in a custom metal tin.
  • Leonida Keys sticker pack: nine vinyl stickers in a stash bag.
  • Double-sided souvenir poster: Macca artwork on one side, the full Leonida map on the other.

Reports put the packed weight at roughly 11 kilograms, or 24 pounds. Rockstar is not selling the items individually.

What the Collection Costs in Each Region

Pricing is published for three markets, and shipping is charged on top in all of them.

MarketPriceShipping
United States$399.99Charged separately; not eligible for free shipping
United Kingdom£349.99Charged separately
CanadaCA$559Charged separately

At $399.99 this is the most expensive collector’s set Rockstar has released. Buying it requires being signed in to the Rockstar Store, and the limit is one per account.

What You Still Have to Buy to Play

The game is a separate transaction, and Rockstar sells it in two versions.

EditionPriceWhat it adds
Standard$79.99The full single-player game
Ultimate$99.99Premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, businesses, customisation options and two side missions

So the box plus the cheapest way to play comes to $479.99 before shipping and tax, and $499.98 with the Ultimate Edition. Upgrading from Standard to Ultimate later costs the same $20 difference, so there is no penalty for starting cheap.

Two pre-order extras apply to the game rather than the box. The Vintage Vice City Pack goes to all digital purchases made by 20 November 2026, and to physical pre-orders while stocks last. Digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+, usable in the current version of GTA Online.

The Dates That Matter

Three separate dates govern the box, the download and the bonus, and they are not the same day.

  • Thursday 12 November 2026: pre-loading opens, and code-in-a-box physical editions of the game reach shops a week early so buyers can redeem and download before launch.
  • Thursday 19 November 2026: Grand Theft Auto VI launches, and the Vice City Collection becomes available to ship.
  • Friday 20 November 2026: the cut-off for digital purchases to qualify for the Vintage Vice City Pack.

As of 27 September 2026, pre-orders for the collection are open on the Rockstar Store with no sell-out announced, and Rockstar has not said how many units exist beyond describing the run as limited.

Where Rockstar Will Ship It

The store lists 23 territories at launch, all in North America and Europe: Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Buyers in Asia, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand are not covered at present. Beebom reports that those regions are to follow later; Rockstar has not published a date for them.

Why the Box Will Not Get You Playing on Launch Day

The collection ships on 19 November rather than arriving on it, which is the detail most likely to catch buyers out. A ship-from date is the day the parcel leaves, not the day it lands, and an 11-kilogram box crossing a border will take longer than a domestic one.

There is a second gap. Even the game’s own physical edition is not a disc: Rockstar has confirmed that boxed copies contain a download code, which is why they reach shops on 12 November, a week before release, to give buyers time to redeem and pre-load. Anyone who wants to be playing the moment the servers open is better served by a digital purchase than by any physical package, collector’s set included.

Rockstar’s own product page lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the 19 November launch. Readers weighing up the other official merchandise can compare it with the GTA 6 DualSense controller, which opened at $84.99.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the GTA 6 Vice City Collection Include the Game?

No. Rockstar states that Grand Theft Auto VI is sold separately. The $399.99 set contains eleven pieces of merchandise and no game code or disc.

How Much Does Everything Cost Together?

The collection at $399.99 plus the Standard Edition at $79.99 comes to $479.99, or $499.98 with the $99.99 Ultimate Edition. Shipping and tax are extra, and the box is not eligible for free shipping.

When Does the Vice City Collection Arrive?

It is listed as available to ship from 19 November 2026, the game’s launch day. That is the dispatch date rather than a delivery date, so arrival depends on destination and carrier.

Can I Buy More Than One?

No. The Rockstar Store limits the set to one per person and requires you to be signed in to order.

Is the Collection Sold Outside Europe and North America?

Not at launch. Rockstar lists 23 territories in North America and Europe, with other regions reported as coming later and no date announced.
