Fans of GTA 6<\/a> are already copying items from the game\u2019s $400 collector\u2019s edition and 3D-printing them for a far cheaper price.<\/p>\n

On September 24, Rockstar revealed a special, $400 collector\u2019s edition<\/a> for GTA 6\u2026 except it doesn\u2019t actually come with the game. Despite putting up nearly half a rack, players won\u2019t get the game itself; instead, it comes with a bunch of GTA 6-branded merchandise.<\/p>\n

The bundle includes items like a cartoon alligator figure, stickers, pins, a hat, and a pair of Oakley sunglasses, which is probably where most of the cost is coming from. And while fans can\u2019t exactly copy those, they are 3D printing copies of a at least one trinket in the collection.<\/p>\n

One of the most viral examples of this is a recreation of the game\u2019s Macca the Alligator mascot, which has been fully modeled and uploaded as a printable file<\/a> online. And rather than paying $400, fans can simply support its creator by paying what they want.<\/p>\n

Reactions to this workaround have been extremely divided; some fans are giving the copycat props for their creative solution to a pricey problem, while others are rallying against them, saying that making a 3D copy completely defeats the purpose of buying a rare item.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you print it if it already lost its main and only purpose, which is rarity?\u201d one user asked<\/a> on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cDude, I\u2019m all for criticizing the price, but this is just f**king stupid,\u201d another argued<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI imagined this would happen, but not so soon… That said, I want one,\u201d another commenter admitted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the coolest thing! I only wanted this [figure], but I wasn\u2019t about to drop $400 to get it,\u201d another wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The GTA 6 collector\u2019s edition has sparked a viral debate within the broader gaming community, with many comparing it to the Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a> collector\u2019s edition, which was far cheaper and had comparatively cooler, more game-specific items. It only cost $100<\/a>, and even came with some in-game goodies like a physical version of the game\u2019s map.<\/p>\n

The $400 price tag for GTA 6’s collector’s edition without an actual game to show for it is rubbing salt in the wound for gamers who are mourning the lack of a true physical disc. The \u2018physical\u2019 version of GTA 6 is in name only; it\u2019ll get a case, but only a downloadable code<\/a> inside. And while this is likely part of Rockstar\u2019s plans to stop early leaks, players can\u2019t help but point to Sony\u2019s plans to end the production of physical game discs<\/a> completely by January 2028.<\/p>\n
