How to Buy GTA VI with Cryptocurrency
Grand Theft Auto VI is the new installment in the GTA series from Rockstar Games, one of the most popular open-world game series. The action takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, with the city of Vice City at its center. The main characters are a pair of criminals, Jason and Lucia.
GTA VI is released only in console digital stores and on discs, and pre-orders are already open. The digital version is bought by card in the platform's store, and whether you can pay for it without problems depends on your choice of store and account region.
We'll look at when and where the game comes out, which edition to choose, and how to buy it without getting the region wrong.
When GTA VI comes out and which platforms you can play on
GTA VI is released on November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. On PS5 Pro, the game will get enhanced graphics; on its page in the PlayStation Store, it's marked with the "PS5 Pro Enhanced" badge.
There won't be a PC version at launch. Rockstar hasn't yet named a release date for GTA VI on PC, so you can play it only on current-generation consoles.
You can pre-order the digital version in the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, and the Rockstar store. A pre-order lets you download the game in advance. The download opens on November 12, a week before release, so on release day all that's left is to launch it.
How much GTA VI costs and which edition to choose
The game comes in two editions. Standard Edition costs $79.99, and Ultimate Edition $99.99.
Standard Edition. The full game with the whole story campaign. For those who care about the story and the open world, this is enough.
Ultimate Edition. The same plus extra cars, weapons, clothing, and access to special vendors and locations in the game. These are in-game bonuses that don't change the story but add variety to the game.
Paying extra for Ultimate makes sense if you want the additional items from day one. If you're unsure, take Standard. You can upgrade it to Ultimate later for the same $20 difference.
A pre-order of either edition before November 20 gives the Vintage Vice City Pack with retro vehicles, clothing, and weapon finishes. A digital pre-order adds a month of GTA+ subscription, which renews automatically unless you cancel it.
Can you buy GTA VI directly with cryptocurrency
No. The PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, and the Rockstar store accept bank cards, account balance, and local payment methods. Cryptocurrency isn't among them.
PlayStation and Xbox gift cards are sold for cryptocurrency on third-party platforms. It's a workable option, but the code is tied to a region, and if the purchase goes wrong, getting your cryptocurrency back is nearly impossible.
The most direct route is to top up a virtual card with cryptocurrency and pay for the game in the console store. That way you pay the exact amount with no leftover balance, and you get all the bonuses of a digital pre-order.
How to get GTA VI with a Mirocard virtual card
The release of one of the most anticipated games is a good reason to get a card that's convenient for paying in console stores. Mirocard issues virtual Visa and Mastercard cards, and the PlayStation Store accepts them in its payment methods section on a par with bank cards.
Mirocard accepts BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, TON, TRX, and SOL. Coins are credited to your main balance, and you transfer to the card an amount equal to the price of the edition you've chosen.
The subscriptions card, whose issuance costs from $5 and top-ups from 4%, suits buying the game. If you keep the GTA+ subscription after buying, it will renew from the same card.
Before paying, ask Mirocard support which PlayStation account region the card works with. Console stores may match the payment method's country against the account's region, and whether the payment goes through depends on this.
We described how to issue a card in a separate guide. After that, buying takes a few minutes.
Open the Grand Theft Auto VI page in the PlayStation Store, choose an edition, and click "Pre-Order". After the game is released, the pre-order button will change to a purchase button.
Sign in to your PlayStation Network account or register if you don't have one yet. On the payment screen, add a new card and enter the number, expiration date, and CVC from your Mirocard account dashboard, then confirm the purchase.
How to choose your account region and avoid mistakes when buying
The account region determines which store you buy from and which codes you can redeem. On PlayStation, it can't be changed after registration, so a mistake will cost you a new account and the loss of what you bought.
Before buying a digital code, check three things. The code's region must match the account's region. The code's platform must match the console, since a key for PlayStation won't redeem on Xbox. And the edition must be exactly the one you want.
Take the region into account when buying add-ons too. The upgrade to Ultimate Edition and other content must be bought in the same regional store as the game itself, otherwise the add-ons may not work.
Compare the price in your chosen region. The game's cost differs between countries' stores, and the final amount depends on taxes and the exchange rate. Check the price on the game's page before topping up a card or buying gift codes.
Don't forget about GTA+. The month of subscription given for a digital pre-order renews automatically. If you don't need it, cancel it before the free period ends.
Conclusion
GTA VI is released on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and for most players, Standard Edition is enough. You can buy the Ultimate upgrade later if you want the additional items.
The main thing when buying is to decide on your account region in advance and make sure the game, codes, and add-ons are all bought in the same regional store.
