GTA 6 fans compare Rockstar's influencer gifts to the $400 collector's edition

According to Dexerto, influencers have begun showing off Grand Theft Auto 6 merchandise they received from Rockstar Games, and the reveals have stirred up strong reactions from fans. The outlet reported on October 2 that many players believe the influencer gifts are better than the game's $400 collector's edition.

Dexerto describes fans as being up in arms over the comparison. The frustration centers on the idea that items handed out for promotion may be more appealing than a premium package that paying customers can buy.

Rockstar has not publicly commented on the influencer packages or the fan reaction, and the details of what the gifts contain have not been confirmed by the studio.

Promotional kits sent to creators are a common part of big game launches, and they rarely match what is sold at retail. For players weighing a high-priced edition, the debate is a reminder to check exactly what each package includes before buying, using Rockstar's official listings as the reference point.
