GTA 5 for new-gen consoles will be 50% off at release

The first pricing details for the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions of Grand Theft Auto V have been revealed, with the game set to release with an introductory 50% discount.

While Rockstar hasn’t officially communicated new-gen pricing details ahead of the game’s release on March 15, pre-purchasing is available from March 8, which has now arrived in Australia, revealing how much the title will cost there.

As with previously released versions of the game, GTA V on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 includes access to Grand Theft Auto Online. However, the game will also be released alongside a new standalone version of GTA Online.

UPDATE: PlayStation 5 owners will only have to spend £8.75 / $9.99, whereas Xbox Series X/S owners will have to spend double at £17.49 / $19.99.
