A promotion running today only at Newegg offers a way to save on preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6. Players can purchase discounted PlayStation Store or Xbox Store digital gift cards, which can then be used to buy the game, effectively reducing its price.
Discounted Gift Cards
The deal involves buying $100 digital gift cards for either platform. For PlayStation Store cards, the price is reduced to $89, and for Xbox Store cards, the price is $90. This discount is contingent on using specific promo codes at checkout. For PlayStation Store gift cards, the code is GTWF822, and for Xbox Store gift cards, it is GTWF792. After purchase, the digital gift card code will be emailed.
Redeeming and Purchasing
Once the gift card code is received, it must be redeemed on the respective digital storefront. Users can then use the balance in their digital wallet to purchase Grand Theft Auto 6. The Ultimate Edition of the game costs $99.99, meaning the $100 gift card will cover its price, with the discount on the gift card itself providing the savings. The Standard Edition, priced at $79.99, can also be purchased this way.
The Standard Edition includes the base game and the Vintage Vice City Pack, along with one month of GTA+. The Ultimate Edition contains all of the Standard Edition's content, plus exclusive vehicles, weapons, apparel, and narrative content related to the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia.
This promotion is not the first instance of such a deal appearing for Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders. Similar discounts on gift cards have been offered periodically, typically lasting only a single day. Players who miss this opportunity may find future chances before the game's release.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Preloads for the game will begin on November 12, allowing players to download the title a week before its official release. At launch, only the single-player campaign will be accessible, with details on GTA Online's availability yet to be announced.
