Rockstar also says several of the pieces pull from Leonida&#8217;s hit TV show, Macca the Gator.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling the box without the game fits a broader publisher move toward <strong>digital sales<\/strong> and easier merch releases across platforms. The reasoning is pretty clear, especially after <a href=\"https:\/\/red-dead-redemption-2.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a>: one box can be marketed to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players alike, without needing separate physical editions for each platform.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaction has been mixed. Some fans like the flexibility. Others think <strong>$400 is steep<\/strong> without GTA 6 included, even with analysts calling it one of the biggest launches of the decade and promo GTA 6 T-shirts reportedly reselling for more than $200. If you want it, pre-orders for the Vice City Collection are live now through Rockstar Games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Rockstar Games Launcher\" src=\"\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Rockstar Games Launcher<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/rockstar-games-launcher.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/rockstar-games-launcher.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rockstar Games has revealed Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State , Vice City Collection, a $400 luxury fan box due out on November 19, 2026.
