A new GTA VI pre-order bonus has leaked at Walmart. It is not a weapon skin or a car. It is a mystery bag.
Reports from RockstarINTEL, Beebom and Kotaku all point to the same Walmart listing and staff note. The bonus is called a “surprise and delight” offer. Walmart has not announced what is inside the bag. Rockstar Games has not confirmed it either. So treat this as a reported leak for now and not as a confirmed bonus.
What the Walmart GTA VI Leak Shows
The leak shows a simple offer. Qualifying Walmart pre-orders get one extra bag on top of the game.
Deal tracker Nintendeal shared a screenshot of the Walmart listing on X on November 2. The same detail also spread in the Rockstar community on Discord. The note says the game and the bonus will be placed together in one GMD bag. GMD means General Merchandise Delivery.
Who gets the surprise bag
The offer applies to the physical PS5 version and the physical Xbox Series X|S version. Both boxes are code in a box releases. There is no disc inside. You get a download code and you still need to download the full game.
The offer is while supplies last. That line matters. It means not every buyer is guaranteed to get a bag.
When the bag arrives
The date in the leak is November 12. That is the day pre-load opens and the day boxed copies can start to ship and be picked up. So the first bags should be in players hands a full week before launch day on November 19.
You can watch the exact time left for your country on our GTA VI Global Countdown page. It shows the unlock time for New Zealand and for the UK and for the US and for every other region.
What Could Be Inside the Surprise Bag?
Nobody outside Walmart knows yet. The honest answer is that expectations should stay low.
Walmart has used this same “surprise and delight” wording before. At the Nintendo Switch 2 launch the bag held a snack and a drink. Reports at the time named Pringles and Coke as one mix. If Walmart follows that same plan here then the bag is a small launch day treat and not a GTA collectible.
What fans are hoping for
Many fans hope the bag holds a paper map of Leonida or a small Vice City item. That hope comes from an earlier rumour in October. A sign in one GameStop store in the US said physical pre-orders might come with a collector map. Neither Rockstar nor GameStop confirmed that rumour.
Real Vice City collectibles do exist but they sit in a very different product. Rockstar sells them in the separate Vice City Collection box and that box does not include the game. We covered every item in it in our GTA 6 Vice City Collection guide.
One thing is clear from the reports. The surprise is not a game disc. No report claims a disc is in the bag.
This Bonus Sits on Top of the Vintage Vice City Pack
Every GTA VI pre-order already has one confirmed bonus. That bonus is the Vintage Vice City Pack.
The pack gives you the 1955 Vapid Stanier with its own garage. It also gives Jason a pastel linen suit and a vintage hairstyle. Lucia gets a red sequin mini dress and curls. There is also a tropical weapon pattern. Digital pre-orders also get one free month of GTA+.
The Walmart bag would be extra on top of that pack. It is a retailer extra and not a Rockstar extra. That is why it can be different from the GameStop map rumour and from offers at other stores.
Pre-orders are already huge even without mystery bags. Read our report on how GTA 6 pre-orders hit 5.66 million in estimated sales. And if you are still choosing an edition then see why most people have pre-ordered the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition according to Take-Two.
Why Retailers Are Adding Extras to a Code in a Box
The boxed game needs help to sell. The box holds only a code.
Once you redeem that code you still face a big download. The PS5 download size has been reported at 210 GB. Rockstar has not officially confirmed that size. Pre-load from November 12 gives you a full week to finish that download before launch.
A free bag costs a retailer very little. It gives a buyer one more reason to pick that store over the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store. That is the real logic behind this offer.
Should You Pre-Order From Walmart for This Bag?
Short answer. Do not choose your store only for this bag.
The contents are still unknown. Stock is limited by the wording of the offer itself. This is also a US Walmart offer. UK players should not expect the same bag at UK stores unless a UK retailer announces its own deal.
Kotaku also noted that Walmart has had some trouble with pre-order fulfilment in the past week. A digital pre-order has no delivery risk at all. If playing at unlock matters most to you then digital is still the safest path.
If you already have a Walmart pre-order then this is just a nice extra. Keep your order and see what lands on November 12.
When Will We Know What Is in the Bag?
We will know on November 12. That is when the first buyers get their bags and photos will spread fast.
Until then this stays in the reported column and not the confirmed column. We will update this story when Walmart or Rockstar confirms the contents or when the first real bag is opened.
