Rockstar Games has unveiled a premium collector’s package for Grand Theft Auto VI, offering fans a selection of Vice City-themed merchandise ahead of the highly anticipated game’s launch. The catch: despite its $400 price tag, the collection does not include a copy of GTA 6.
Rockstar Unveils GTA 6: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection
The new package, called GTA 6: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, brings together merchandise inspired by Vice City and Leonida, the fictional setting at the centre of GTA 6.
Priced at $400, the collector’s set is available for preorder through Rockstar Games and is scheduled for release on November 19.
Rather than including the game itself, the package focuses entirely on collectibles and branded merchandise. Among the more notable items are Oakley sunglasses, a New Era hat and a six-inch figure of Macca the Gator.
Everything Included in the GTA 6 Collector’s Set
The GTA 6: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection includes:
- 6-inch Macca the Gator figure with a stash compartment
- Matte black GTAVI Oakley Frogskins sunglasses with Prizm Sapphire lenses
- New Era 9FORTY A-Frame snapback hat featuring Vice City and Leonida details
- 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 packaged in a custom metal tin
- Premium stickers supplied in a stash bag
- Double-sided souvenir poster featuring the wider Leonida landscape
The poster is particularly notable because previous Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption releases have traditionally included physical maps with standard boxed editions.
It remains unclear whether physical editions of GTA 6 will continue that tradition or whether the new souvenir poster will remain exclusive to the collector’s package.
Premium Brands Add to the GTA 6 Merchandise
While $400 represents a substantial price for a merchandise collection without the game, Rockstar has partnered with established brands for several of the products.
The included Frogskins sunglasses come from Oakley, while New Era is supplying the Vice City-themed 9FORTY A-Frame hat.
Demand for GTA 6 merchandise has already demonstrated the strength of the game’s collector market. GTA 6 shirts distributed at Tokyo Game Show earlier in September have subsequently appeared for resale online at prices reaching hundreds of dollars.
That suggests limited-edition merchandise connected with the game could attract considerable attention from collectors and resellers.
GTA 6 Marketing Campaign Accelerates Ahead of Launch
The collector’s set is the latest step in Rockstar’s increasingly active GTA 6 promotional campaign as the game approaches release.
After an extended period with relatively few updates, the company increased its marketing activity when preorders opened in June. A gameplay reveal at the end of August was followed by additional announcements, including limited-edition DualSense controllers and an album featuring original music from major artists.
Rockstar has also taken its Vice City campaign into the real world. A large “Welcome to Vice City” installation appeared at the Miami Heat’s arena in Florida, with the promotion reportedly costing close to $1 million.
Another GTA 6 Trailer Could Still Arrive
Rockstar has not confirmed when fans will get another major look at GTA 6 before launch.
Speculation has centred on the possibility of another trailer arriving in October, potentially around the beginning of the NBA regular season, although no such release has been officially announced.
For Canadian GTA fans and collectors considering the premium package, the key detail remains its unusual proposition: GTA 6: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection offers $400 worth of themed collectibles, but buyers will still need to purchase the game separately.
