Ubisoft has released pricing details for the GTA 6 Collector's Edition
Rockstar Games' $400 collector's edition package—which doesn't include a game—became the subject of a social media post by rival company Ubisoft.
The special collection bundle titled "The Goodtime State Vice City Collection," announced by Rockstar Games, has long been a topic of debate in the gaming world because it does not include the game itself and carries a $400 price tag. This situation quickly caught the attention of rival studio Ubisoft, which made a point of highlighting its own game bundle in response.
Rayman Legends Retold and a Comparison
In a post shared via Ubisoft’s official Rayman account, the benefits offered by a $40 bundle were highlighted. The features highlighted in the post are as follows:
- $40 price tag
- Rayman Legends Retold game
- Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition (at least one physical copy)
- The Glade of Dreams map
- Three lithographs and a special box
Rockstar’s controversial bundle, meanwhile, included collectible items such as a Macca the Gator figurine, Oakley sunglasses, a New Era cap, a bag, and a poster, but drew criticism for not including the main game in the bundle.
Analysis
A publisher frequently criticized in the past for its pricing policies and microtransactions has this time targeted its competitor by emphasizing value for money—a move that was met with an amused reaction from community members. This comparison, which garnered hundreds of thousands of views, demonstrates that the commercial strategies built around massive productions have reached a point where even competitors can easily criticize them.
