GTA VI isn't cheap, but a few tricks can help make the price more manageable. The Standard Edition retails for $80, and the Ultimate Edition is $100. However, if you take advantage of the right Microsoft perks, you might be able to get the highly-anticipated title for free.

Multiple users on Reddit have shared success stories about free pre-ordered copies of GTA 6. One user utilized card points from the Xbox Mastercard, while another got theirs solely through accruing Microsoft Rewards via everyday tasks. The Microsoft Rewards route is a simple, risk-free way to get GTA 6 for free — or at least a greatly reduced price. 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points are roughly equivalent to $1, so you'll need to accrue 100,000 and trade them in for a gift card to get the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition at no cost.

Microsoft offers a slew of ways to earn Rewards both online and on your Xbox. One of the fastest ways to earn points is through making purchases in the Microsoft Store, but that defeats the purpose of any GTA 6 discount you'd receive in the future. On the Xbox mobile app, you can access Quests by tapping your profile picture and then viewing the Rewards tab.

These Quests let you earn points through actions like playing on PC and console, using the Xbox app and weekly playing streaks. Points earned from these are amplified if you have a Game Pass subscription, with Premium and PC Only subscribers earning two times the points and Ultimate subscribers four times as many. You can rack up Microsoft Rewards even when you aren't gaming by interfacing with the Microsoft Rewards dashboard.

Here you'll find short daily activities like polls and quizzes, as well as a myriad of ways to earn through specific Bing searches. By setting Bing as your default search engine and using the Bing app, you can acquire even more points and multiplier streaks over time. As you accrue points, you'll level up, which in turn means you earn larger Rewards from daily tasks.

With some diligence, by the time the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 rolls around in November, you could see a sizable discount.
