A GTA 6 listing priced at $1,999.99 briefly showed on the Xbox Store, tagged "Code-in-Box Product", before disappearing, according to Notebookcheck.

A $1,999.99 GTA 6 listing popped up on the Xbox Store four days before launch, then vanished, reports Notebookcheck. The expected $79.99 and $99.99 prices showed for the Standard and Ultimate editions. The third entry had no label.
Notebookcheck says Microsoft described the item as a "Code-in-Box Product". The outlet links it to the download codes inside disc-less retail boxes: selling that physical version may have required a separate record, given a deliberately dissuasive price. Mezha.net also noted the listing was visible only briefly.
That is the outlet's reading. Neither Microsoft nor Rockstar explained the entry in the articles we read.
Some fans hoped for an ultra-limited edition. Notebookcheck calls that far-fetched: most social reactions point to a placeholder or a mistake. The Xbox Store has shown this price before: in May 2026, Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition appeared at $1,999.99 with no explanation before the page disappeared.

What we know about the real editions has not changed: €79.99 for Standard, €99.99 for Ultimate (digital only), and the €399.99 Goodtime State box without the game. Details are on our price page.
Code-in-box is already a sensitive topic: yesterday we covered boxes delivered without a code. If the listing is tied to them, it mainly shows digital stores are creating technical records for these versions.
Nothing for players: no $2,000 purchase is on the table and the listing is gone. We will see whether the Xbox Store restores it, and in what form, before November 19.
