Best Buy is currently offering a $50 reward certificate to customers who preorder Grand Theft Auto 6 and purchase an eligible PlayStation 5 or Xbox console. This promotion effectively provides a discount for players looking to upgrade their gaming hardware in anticipation of the highly anticipated title.
To qualify for the offer, customers must be a member of Best Buy's "My Best Buy" program, which is free to join. While there are premium membership tiers, the deal is accessible to all members, regardless of their subscription level. The $50 promotional certificate will be credited to the member's account around November 25, 2026, several months after Grand Theft Auto 6's release.
This promotion is not an official hardware bundle; the console and game are sold separately. However, it serves as an incentive for those planning to buy both. Best Buy does not charge for game preorders until the title ships, allowing customers to acquire their new console and defer the cost of the game until closer to its launch date.
The promotion includes various eligible consoles such as the standard PlayStation 5 (825GB), the 1TB slim versions of the PS5 (Disc or Digital), the PS5 Pro, and the Xbox Series X or S. For those without a current-generation console, Best Buy is also offering a "Geek Squad Certified Refurbished" PS5 for $499.99, which, when combined with the $50 gift card, brings the effective cost down to $450.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game's physical edition will be delivered as a code in a box and will be available a week prior to the official launch date, November 12, to facilitate pre-loading. The game itself is priced at $80.
Terms and conditions for the promotion state that it is valid for new and existing My Best Buy members, with one $50 certificate per member. The offer is void if either the console or game purchase is canceled or returned. The promotional certificate has an expiration date of 45 days after issuance.
