Alongside the radio reveal, Rockstar published a second October 8 Newswire post announcing the official Grand Theft Auto VI collection. It covers apparel and collectibles inspired by the game and is listed as exclusively available at the Rockstar Store.
Leonida Intel context
Merchandise drops signal the marketing machine is in its final gear. Useful for gift planning, irrelevant for the game record.
This follows the September 24 pre-order opening for The Goodtime State, a premium collectible set themed around Leonida's in-universe TV show Macca the Gator, sold while supplies last and shipping from launch.
Neither post changes the game's release date, editions or pre-order bonuses. For buyers, the useful distinction is that merchandise is sold directly by Rockstar, while game pre-orders run through Rockstar Store, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and retailers. Leonida Intel does not sell or resell official merchandise.
