GTA VI $400 Collector’s Edition Includes Merchandise but Not the Game

Rockstar has unveiled a new Grand Theft Auto VI collector’s edition priced at $399.99, but the package does not include a copy of the game.

Called Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, the bundle is focused entirely on physical merchandise inspired by Vice City and the fictional state of Leonida.

The collection is available to preorder through Rockstar’s store, with the company saying quantities are limited.

The package is built around physical collectibles

The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection includes a wide range of themed items rather than game content.

One of the main pieces is a Macca the Gator figure inspired by an in game Leonida television show. The figure includes a base that can be opened to store small items.

The bundle also includes Oakley Frogskins sunglasses, a Leonida Keys crossbody bag and a New Era 9FORTY snapback hat.

The package also contains a Macca the Gator magnetic mirror, a Chunkee the Manatee shot glass, a collectible Vice City swizzle spoon and a razor blade style keychain.

Nine Leonida Keys enamel pins and nine vinyl stickers are included as well.

The double sided poster features characters and the Leonida map

Another notable item is a double sided souvenir poster.

One side features characters connected to the fictional television show represented by some of the other collectibles.

The reverse side includes a map of Leonida, giving fans a physical version of the game’s setting.

Together, these items make the package closer to a premium merchandise box than a traditional collector’s edition built around the game itself.

GTA V handled its collector’s edition differently

The approach differs from Grand Theft Auto V.

That game’s collector’s edition included a full retail copy of GTA V alongside its extra physical content.

With GTA VI, Rockstar is separating the merchandise package from the game.

That makes the $399.99 price entirely about the collectibles rather than combining the game with premium extras.

The source also notes that GTA VI is not expected to receive normal physical disc releases for the game itself, which helps explain why the new collection focuses on merchandise rather than including a disc.

Rockstar is targeting dedicated collectors

The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection appears aimed at fans who want physical GTA VI memorabilia rather than players simply looking for a premium edition of the game.

The mix of branded accessories, display pieces, pins, stickers and the Leonida poster gives the package a strong merchandise focus.

At nearly $400, the collection is positioned well above the price of a standard game release, and the lack of an included game copy is likely to be the most important detail for buyers considering a preorder.

Rockstar has said supply is limited, so availability may depend on how quickly the collection sells through its initial stock.

For anyone interested primarily in playing GTA VI, this package does not replace buying the game separately. Its value is centered on the physical collectibles and Vice City themed merchandise included in the box.
