Rockstar Games has teamed up with Sony to offer Grand Theft Auto 6 fans a free month of GTA+ if they pre-order the game on PS5.
In a new PlayStation Blog post, Sony claimed that “thanks to a close partnership” with the studio, GTA 6 “will play best on PS5 by taking advantage of PS5’s immersive features to deliver a deeply engaging single-player experience,” following the game’s price and pre-order time announcement.
“Since Grand Theft Auto first arrived on the original PlayStation in 1997, the series has defined generations of play,” the company said. “We know players are excited for Grand Theft Auto 6, which heads to the state of Leonida — home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond, in the biggest, most expansive evolution of the series yet.”
It’s confirmed that the game will feature DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, an integrated speaker, and sound effects to enhance the experience, as well as Tempest 3D AudioTech to “surround yourself in the distinct soundscapes of Leonida.”
GTA 6 will also leverage the PS5’s ultra-high-speed SSD, which Sony said will enable “near-instant load times.”
Pre-orders will begin on June 25 at midnight local time for the Standard and Ultimate Editions, which cost $79.99 and $99.99, respectively.
Pre-orders are currently live in New Zealand, and according to the PS Store, an Ultimate Edition Upgrade will be available at some point, likely at launch.
Players who pre-order the Standard or Ultimate Edition before November 20 will also receive the Vintage Vice City Pack and can begin pre-loading the game on November 12, seven days before the game’s launch on November 19.
What’s more, Sony announced that players who pre-order any edition on PlayStation Store will also instantly receive a redeemable free month of GTA+, a premium subscription for Grand Theft Auto Online.
“Grand Theft Auto 6 marks an exciting new chapter for one of gaming’s most iconic series, and we’re proud to help bring the best experience to players on PS5,” Sony said.
“We can’t wait until the game arrives on November 19 and we look forward to celebrating its launch with Rockstar Games and our PlayStation community around the world.”
