In an impressive feat, a gamer has successfully pre-ordered the Standard Edition of Grand Theft Auto 6 for just $2.12, originally priced at $79.99. This significant discount was achieved through a combination of forgotten rewards and a discount coupon.
How the Discount Was Achieved
The player, known as tangyredapple on Reddit, had previously purchased a PlayStation 5 Pro from Best Buy and accumulated cash-back rewards through that transaction. When pre-orders for GTA 6 opened, they checked their account and found enough reward certificates to cover most of the game’s cost.
By combining these rewards with a 10% discount coupon, the player managed to reduce the price from $79.99 to a mere $2.12. They encourage other prospective buyers to explore their credit card rewards and retailer loyalty accounts to potentially save on their purchases.
Utilizing Reward Programs
This isn’t an isolated case; other gamers are also leveraging reward programs to minimize their costs. Xbox users, for instance, can earn Microsoft Rewards points through various activities, including web searches. These points can be redeemed for Xbox credit, which can then be applied to pre-orders for GTA 6.
Some players have reportedly amassed enough points to fully cover the cost of the Ultimate Edition, although accumulating such rewards typically requires a significant investment of time.
GTA 6 Release Information
Rockstar Games has set the Standard Edition of GTA 6 at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99. The game is available for pre-order on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a scheduled release date of November 19, 2026. Pre-loading will commence on November 12.
While the $2.12 purchase does not indicate a universal discount for all players, it highlights the potential for significant savings through the strategic use of rewards and coupons.
