As anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 builds, players are finding creative ways to secure discounts on the upcoming title. One player managed to pre-order the standard edition for a mere $2.12, saving $77.87 off the retail price of $79.99 by leveraging Best Buy rewards.
The gamer, posting on Reddit, explained that they had previously used their Best Buy card to purchase a PS5 Pro, accumulating substantial cash back. Upon checking their account when pre-orders went live, they combined their accumulated reward certificates with a 10% off coupon, ultimately paying less than three dollars for the game.
This particular player opted for the standard edition, as physical pre-orders were only available for that version. However, they noted that an upgrade to the ultimate edition can be purchased separately after the game's release. While such savings methods may seem straightforward, the incident highlights the benefit of checking for accumulated rewards and available discounts across various retailers and loyalty programs.
Other players have also found ways to reduce the cost of GTA 6, with some utilizing services like Microsoft Rewards and Bing to achieve significant discounts. With 139 days remaining until its anticipated launch, these resourceful approaches offer a glimpse into the lengths some fans are going to secure their copy of the highly awaited game.
