Rockstar unveils $400 GTA VI collector’s box with no game included

Rockstar Games has unveiled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, a $400 collector's edition that shockingly does not include a copy of the game. Pre-orders are now open in North America and Europe ahead of its November 19th launch, with availability in other regions set to follow.

Selling standalone collector’s boxes isn’t new for Rockstar. The company released a game‑free Red Dead Redemption 2 Collector’s Box back in 2018, and other publishers like Blizzard and EA have done similar merchandise‑only bundles. Even so, a $399.99 package for GTA VI without the game itself is a bold step.

However, this one costs $399.99, so one would assume that at least a game would be included. On the other hand, it does come with a lot of nice-looking items and gear. Those interested in what comes in Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection can take a look at the list below:

• 6-inch figure of Macca the Gator with a stash compartment
• Matte black GTAVI Oakley® Frogskins™ sunglasses with Prizm Sapphire lenses
• New Era® 9FORTY A-Frame snapback hat with Vice City Leonida embellishments
• Macca the Gator magnetic mirror
• Vice City swizzle spoon
• Vice City razor blade keychain
• Leonida Keys crossbody bag
• Chunkee the Manatee shot glass
• Leonida Keys enamel pin set in a custom metal tin
• Premium stickers in a stash bag
• Double-sided souvenir poster showcasing the full Leonida landscape

Additional apparel and merchandise items will also join the official storefront soon.

KitGuru says: A $400 collector’s box without the game is certainly a choice, but GTA VI’s demand is so high that Rockstar will likely sell through these without much difficulty.
