Rockstar Sells $400 GTA VI Collection… Without the Game!

Rockstar Games has just put up for sale a new collection of products inspired by Grand Theft Auto VI, but there is one detail that quickly caught everyone's attention: despite costing nearly $400, the box does not include a copy of the video game.

The collection is called Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection and is designed as a bundle of collectible items for fans of the franchise.

The Collection Costs $399.99

The Collector's Box has an official price tag of US$399.99 on the Rockstar Store and is available for pre-order while supplies last.

Its launch is scheduled for November 19, 2026, coinciding with the announced release date for GTA VI.

However, Rockstar makes it clear in the product description that Grand Theft Auto VI is sold separately.

Therefore, paying nearly 400 dollars does not grant access to the video game.

What Does the GTA VI Collection Include?

In exchange for $399.99, buyers receive a total of 11 physical items related to the GTA VI universe.

Among them are:

• A Macca the Gator figurine, approximately 6 inches tall, whose base can be used to store small items.
• A pair of Oakley Frogskins sunglasses featuring Prizm Sapphire lenses and GTA VI-themed details.
• A Leonida Keys crossbody bag.
• A New Era 9FORTY cap inspired by Vice City and Leonida.
• A Macca the Gator magnetic mirror.
• A Chunkee the Manatee shot glass.
• A collectible Vice City mixing spoon.
• A razor blade-shaped keychain.
• A set of nine enamel pins.
• A pack of nine stickers.
• A double-sided poster featuring the map of Leonida.

The collection is specially inspired by fictional elements and characters that are part of the GTA VI world, including Macca the Gator and Chunkee the Manatee.

But You Will Have to Buy GTA VI Separately

Here is the detail that has sparked conversation among gamers.

Rockstar itself specifies on the collection's official page:

"Grand Theft Auto VI game sold separately."

In other words, the box contains neither a physical copy of the game nor a download code.

This means that anyone who wants to own both the collection and the video game will have to pay for both products separately.

The $399.99 collection should therefore be understood as premium merchandising, rather than a special edition of the video game that includes GTA VI.

Rockstar Calls It a Collector's Box

Another important detail is that Rockstar does not officially present this product as a "Collector's Edition" of GTA VI.

Its official name is Collector's Box.

The distinction is relevant because a video game collector's edition is typically marketed as a version of the game itself accompanied by additional items.

In this case, Rockstar is selling a box of collectible items that is simply related to GTA VI.

How Much Would It Cost to Get Both the Collection and the Game?

The final figure will depend on the edition of GTA VI the player decides to purchase and the applicable pricing in their region.

What is confirmed is that the US$399.99 price tag of the collection does not include the game.

Therefore, the price announced by Rockstar must be considered exclusively as the cost of the physical items included in the Collector's Box.

A Limited Collection

Rockstar also points out that the collection will be available while supplies last, so it is not a product that will necessarily remain available indefinitely.

The company has also teased that more GTA VI apparel and merchandise will be coming soon to the Rockstar Store.

GTA VI Makes Merchandising the Center of Attention Once Again

The collection demonstrates the extent to which Rockstar is preparing for the launch of GTA VI beyond the game itself.

Between clothing, accessories, figurines, and other products, the company is building an entire line of merchandise around Vice City and the state of Leonida.

However, there is a key detail that will hardly go unnoticed: the box costs $399.99, and despite being called a Collector's Box, the game it is named after must be purchased separately.

For some collectors, it may represent an opportunity to snag official, limited-edition GTA VI merchandise. For other gamers, the absence of the video game in a package costing nearly $400 will likely be the most striking detail of the entire collection.
