How to Get GTA 6 for Free on Release Day

It’s finally happening. GTA 6 has a release date and a setting. While most of the GTA 6 “news” we have right now is closer to rumor, we know a few things about what you can expect when it drops in May 2026, including how to get it for free when it drops. Check out the details below.

If you’re one of the gamers coming out of retirement for the series’ return to Vice City (appropriate for GTA VI), you might get sticker shock at GTA 6’s price. Your first reaction to sticker shock should be to ask, “How much does GTA 6 cost when I use Fetch?” You don’t have the Fetch app? Download it now to start earning rewards (including gift cards for GTA 6).

GTA 6 release date and launch details

So, when does GTA 6 come out? Nothing is set in stone, but the most recent GTA 6 release date is May 26, 2026, giving you plenty of time to bank your Fetch Points and get it without spending a penny.

While the release date is probably the most important GTA 6 news we have right now, it’s also one of the only things that isn’t a rumor. See all we know below.

GTA 6 version news and rumors

• All versions of GTA 6 will be released on May 26, 2026.
• We can expect standard, deluxe and ultimate editions.
• Console exclusive perks are likely but unconfirmed.
• The GTA 6 price is likely to be higher than standard AAA games.

GTA 6 platform news and rumors

• GTA 6 will be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
• A PC release is anticipated but has yet to be announced.
• Despite a cross-platform release, crossplay is unlikely.
• If cross-platform play is available, expect PC to be excluded due to modders.

GTA 6 gameplay news and rumors

If you’ve played a GTA game before, you have a pretty good idea of what GTA 6 gameplay is going to be like. With the return to Vice City, we hope Rockstar brings back the nine radio stations full of new wave, dance pop and classic rock that defined the original game. 

How much will GTA 6 cost?

The updated GTA 6 release date puts its price into question, as there is no official MSRP yet. If it dropped right now, you could expect GTA 6 to cost $70 for the standard game, $100 for a deluxe version and an ultimate edition in the $150+ range, but by next year, things could be different.

We could imagine the base GTA 6 price being as high as $100. Here’s why:

• Microsoft announced a bump to $80 for Xbox games.
• GTA 6 has been in development for over a decade.
• Industry experts estimate a budget of $1-2 billion.
• Rockstar knows Vice City will bring older gamers with bigger budgets.
• Licensing costs may increase if GTA 6 brings back Vice City’s radio stations.

If you’re getting sticker shock at the idea of GTA 6 costing $100, you’re in the right place. Fetch makes it easy for you to reward yourself and get games for free (and while you can’t pre-order the game yet, you can have your gift cards ready for when pre-orders start).

How to earn free GTA 6 gift cards with Fetch Play

Fetch Play is one of the easiest ways to earn points and reward yourself with free gift cards. Just play games in your Fetch Play catalog, complete tasks and earn your points. Here’s how to get started:

1. Download the Fetch app now.
2. Tap the joystick marked “Play” in the top right corner.
3. Tap “Play now” to check out the games you can earn points on.
4. Select a game, download it using the link and start playing.
5. Redeem your points for Xbox, PlayStation or Visa gift cards.

With Fetch, you can get GTA 6 for free without embracing the “theft” in “Grand Theft Auto.”

How many Fetch Points is GTA 6?

If you’re looking to get GTA 6 for free, you should assume you’ll need at least $80 (plus tax). Point costs for gift cards depend on which retailer you redeem your points for, but for most gift cards, $50 is just over 50,000 points. 

Tips to maximize your Fetch Points for GTA 6

• Redeem more points for a better rate. A $50 gift card is less points per dollar than a $10 gift card.
• Trade your points for two $50 gift cards. Use what’s left over for in-game purchases or your next game after GTA 6.
• Pre-order GTA 6 with your Fetch gift cards. You can get any pre-order bonuses/exclusives and lock in your price.
