The priciest GTA 6 package available to pre-order in Japan, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, sold out within a few hours. It was an exclusive of Capcom's online store, cost roughly €400 and, surprisingly, does not include the game itself.
What happened
Spanish outlet Vandal reports that pre-orders for the collection opened on Capcom's Japanese online store the same day and stock ran out in a matter of hours. Vandal describes it as the most expensive GTA 6 edition in that market, and points out the key detail: Grand Theft Auto VI is not in the box. Buyers paid around €400 for the extras alone and will need to buy the game separately.
The headline syndicated on Google News sums it up simply: the €400 edition flew off the shelves in Japan.
Why it matters
A high-priced bundle that doesn't even contain the game selling out weeks before launch is a clear sign of how much demand there is for GTA 6. This isn't a standard pre-order. It's a collector's product aimed at fans who want something physical from Vice City on their shelf, and it still disappeared almost immediately. That fits the hype that has followed the game for years.
It also shows how special merchandise is being split by region. This collection is exclusive to Capcom's store in Japan, so, based on what has been reported so far, it isn't something players in the US or Europe can order.
What it means if you're waiting for the game
If you already have a pre-order elsewhere, nothing changes: the GTA 6 release date is still November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and this collection has no effect on the game itself. What it does show is that limited editions and collector's bundles can vanish fast, so if you want a special edition in your region, keep an eye on when pre-orders go live.
One practical tip: always check exactly what a bundle includes before paying. As this case shows, an expensive edition doesn't necessarily come with the game, and it's easy to get caught out if you skip the fine print.
There's no word yet on how many units were available or whether Capcom will restock. We'll update this story if more details come out.
