Walmart is offering a "surprise" incentive for customers who pre-order a physical copy of Grand Theft Auto VI through its website. The nature of this bonus remains undisclosed, sparking speculation among fans.
While the specific contents of the "surprise and delight bag" are unknown, some anticipate it might resemble past promotions, such as the goodie packages Walmart provided for Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders. However, the note suggests such a bonus may not be significant enough to entice purchases of a digital code delivered in a physical box, especially considering Grand Theft Auto VI will not include a disc and requires a substantial 210 GB download.
Walmart has previously faced challenges fulfilling pre-orders, as noted in relation to other titles. Should the retailer encounter shortages for Grand Theft Auto VI physical copies, customers may opt for digital versions available directly from PlayStation or Xbox stores.
For collectors seeking tangible items, Rockstar Games is releasing a separate $400 "Special Edition" package. This premium offering, however, does not include the game itself. Instead, it features items such as an alligator mascot from an in-game television show, rather than character figures of protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Grand Theft Auto VI is slated for release in 2025. Players can pre-order the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
