Hungary has the EU’s highest GTA 6 Standard Edition preorder price at the equivalent of $97.56, according to a recent comparison reported by GS Plus. Preorder prices for Rockstar Games’ upcoming release have already sparked heated debate, and the gap looks even wider once average earnings are factored in.
The comparison uses local PlayStation Store and Xbox Store prices, converted into US dollars with taxes taken into account.
In Hungary, the Standard Edition costs 31,990 forints, while the Ultimate Edition costs 39,990 forints. The standard version’s converted price puts Hungary at the top of the EU ranking, followed by the Czech Republic at $92.16 and Sweden at $91.49.
Most EU countries charge €79.99 for the Standard Edition, equivalent to $89.36 in the comparison. Romania’s preorder price is 399.90 lei, or $83.59 using the October 30 exchange rate. That’s the lowest price among the EU countries compared.
Outside the EU, buyers face even higher prices in Norway and Israel. The Standard Edition costs the equivalent of $102.81 in local currency in Norway and $101.97 in Israel. Neither country is an EU member, so Hungary still ranks first within the bloc.
The comparison paints a harsher picture when prices are measured against average pay. Using Eurostat’s 2025 data, it calculates that the Standard Edition costs 6.79% of average monthly net earnings in Hungary, 6.64% in Bulgaria and 6.47% in Romania. At the other end of the list, Luxembourg’s price amounts to 1.72% of average monthly net earnings.
GTA 6’s official release date is November 19, just a few days away according to the report.
