GTA VI price index

What Grand Theft Auto VI actually costs in 63 markets, read from the official PlayStation Store and Xbox Store listings (103 listings in total), converted to US dollars at official reference rates and set against local pay. Every row in the download carries its store URL, exchange-rate source and tax evidence. Free to reuse with credit.

What you pay, in US$

Official store list prices on Sep 30, 2026, at official exchange rates.

Cheapest

$62.42

Japan (JPY 9,800), then India and South Korea. The US price is $79.99 before sales tax.

Most expensive

$103.79

Israel on PlayStation (ILS 319), +29.8% on the US list price (which excludes sales tax). Then Colombia and Hungary.

Hardest to afford

at least36.5%

of an average month's pay in Indonesia (before any tax we could not confirm), then India (24.6%) and Colombia (20.4%). In the US: 1.3%.

Biggest store gap, after tax

$6.72

in Argentina: $90.07 on Xbox vs $96.79 on PlayStation (listed at $79.99 before 21% tax). Same game, same country.

Standard Edition, as listed on September 30, 2026. Every figure is what you pay: where a store adds one national tax rate at checkout, the price after it. "Cheapest" uses only the 82 listings where that is known, so a price listed before tax is never called cheap; the other rankings count the rest as lower bounds, since tax only adds. 14 markets outside the US are priced in US dollars on at least one store. See method before comparing.

How this was made

Prices. Read on September 30, 2026 directly from each market's official store: the PlayStation Store page for GTA VI in that country, and Microsoft's public store catalog for the Xbox Store. Nothing is estimated or copied from third parties. Each PlayStation price is verified twice - the store's machine value must match the price it displays - and every storefront is checked to be the real country store, because unknown store codes silently fall back to the US store. Prices are list prices; any active discount is flagged in the data, not indexed.

Dollars. Converted at official reference rates for September 30, 2026: the European Central Bank's euro reference rates for 26 currencies, and the issuing central bank or official source for the rest (Banco Central de la República Argentina (official quote); Banco Central de Chile dólar observado (via mindicador.cl); Colombia TRM (Superintendencia Financiera, datos.gov.co); National Bank of Ukraine official rate; Saudi Central Bank fixed peg (3.75 SAR per USD); Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) NT$/US$ closing rate). Honduras and Nicaragua have no official machine-readable rate we could use, so the dollar figures are left blank rather than guessed.

Affordability. Share of a month's pay = what you pay for the Standard Edition, in US dollars, divided by the average monthly earnings of employees in that country (International Labour Organization, ILOSTAT, US$ series, latest year). We use only figures from 2021 or later: Hong Kong, Iceland, Malaysia, South Africa, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates have no recent ILO figure, so the cell is blank rather than stale. National sources differ - most report a mean, a few a median (Singapore) or cover only the private sector (South Korea) or main cities (Argentina) - so treat this as indicative; each row carries the ILO's own note in the download. The download also includes the price as a share of GNI per capita (World Bank), which covers almost every market.

Read before comparing

  • Taxes are not treated the same everywhere - and the two stores differ. Sony's terms for the Americas say PlayStation prices there exclude tax; its terms for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania say prices include it. Microsoft's own catalog data shows Xbox prices with tax already inside in most markets. Of 103 listings: 75 include tax, 12 add it at checkout (7 of them at one national rate we can apply), and 16 we could not confirm. Each row carries its status and an evidence link in the download.
  • Example - Mexico. PlayStation lists MXN 1,292.24, but that is before 16% IVA: MXN 1,499 at checkout. Xbox lists MXN 1,499 with IVA already inside - so both stores charge the same, although the listings look 16.0% apart.
  • You pay and vs US. Where one national rate is confirmed as added at checkout (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay), You pay is the price after that tax; everywhere else it is the listed price. vs US compares You pay with the US list price, which is before sales tax: US and Canadian sales tax varies by state and province, so no single after-tax figure exists there. Argentina may add provincial tax on top. In the download, standard_vs_us_pct compares listed prices and standard_usd_final holds the after-tax figure.
  • 14 markets outside the US are priced in US dollars (much of Latin America on PlayStation, plus Saudi Arabia and the UAE), so the headline price is identical to the US even where local purchasing power is very different.
  • Pre-order prices. This is the price before launch. Stores can change prices; each version of this dataset is dated, and we update it when listings change.
  • Exchange rates move. The dollar column is a snapshot for September 30, 2026. Local prices are the stable fact.
