GTA 6 Fans Are Outraged by $400 Collector's Set and Are Comparing It to Red Dead Redemption 2's Version

GTA 6 fans aren't thrilled about a $400 collector's set that doesn't include the game, and they're even comparing it to previous Rockstar collector's editions.

Rockstar Games just announced a $400 collector's set for GTA 6 , which includes a bunch of premium merch, but excludes an actual copy of the game. Naturally, this has caused a bit of a ruckus online, with fans believing it lacks enough value to justify the cost. It has also drawn comparisons to other Rockstar collector's editions, including the one for GTA 5 and a similar collector's set for Red Dead Redemption 2.

The GTA 6 set includes a variety of big-ticket items that likely drove up the overall price, including a pair of Oakley sunglasses. Oakley's sunglasses often cost anywhere between $150–$200, so a custom pair likely resulted in a higher price tag for this collection. With that said, it is by far the most expensive Rockstar collector's edition to exist, and even diehard fans aren't willing to open their wallets.

"I hate to say it, but I think I’m gonna pass on the collector’s edition," said one fan . "$400 is just insane and it doesn’t even come with a steelbook copy of the game. I’d rather save my money and buy some individual merch items that look cool rather than some overpriced sunglasses."

Another fan noted that, a decade ago, GTA 6 would've had a much cheaper, yet still premium special edition that included the game as well as some of these items: "If this was 2016, they’d have an Ultimate Edition for $129.99 that includes the game, the coke mirror, the snuff spoon, the razor keychain and a map, but we live in 2026 SuperHell."

Red Dead Redemption 2 had a similar collector's box without the game that cost $100, which included various trinkets and replicas of in-game items, such as a physical version of the store catalog. Some believe that Rockstar did a far better job with that set, given it had a ton of interesting merchandise without making players break the bank.
