Rockstar has announced a $400 collector's edition for Grand Theft Auto 6 that does not include a copy of the game. The "Good Time State Vice City Collection" is a box of branded merchandise: a six-inch Makka the Gator figure with a stash compartment, matte black Oakley Frogskin sunglasses, a New Era snapback hat, a magnetic mirror, a razor blade keychain, a swizzle spoon, a shot glass, enamel pins, stickers, and a double-sided poster. No game disc, no download code, no statue of protagonists Jason or Lucia. Host SnowBikeMike called it "a bunch of worthless crap," comparing it to a convention mystery box. Co-host Bradley Shankar noted that while the lack of a game is disappointing, the physical merchandise at least offers tangible value, unlike purely digital DLC. The set releases November 19th. The hosts also noted that Rockstar has historically included a physical map in standard editions of GTA and Red Dead games, but it remains unclear if that tradition continues here.
