Xbox Store briefly lists GTA 6 pre-order option for $1,999.99
Microsoft briefly listed a GTA 6 Xbox option for $1,999.99 on its online store, then removed it.
The listing appeared days before the game’s release and was marked as a “Code-in-Box Product.”
That label suggests it may have been a separate store entry for redeeming a code sold in a physical retail case, rather than a special edition.
The price was far above the listed $79.99 and $99.99 editions, and Microsoft did not explain the unusually high amount.
Many people believe it was a placeholder or mistake, though the reason has not been confirmed.
The listing’s removal leaves the price unexplained, and the store page did not confirm a collector’s edition.
GTA 6 cloud streaming is planned for Xbox consoles at launch, under Microsoft’s 10-year partnership with Take-Two, but not for PCs or other devices.

The listing was described as a “Code-in-Box Product” and was later removed.
The store showed prices of $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
Notebookcheck said the high-priced option may have been a placeholder or a record for redeeming codes included in physical cases.
