Rare Misprinted GTA 5 Edition Discovered by Fan
Rare version of GTA 5 discovered with a unique misprinted cover in mint condition The ecstatic fan shares their precious find online just as rumors of a GTA 6 actor trolling fans on social media surface
A lucky fan recently stumbled upon a highly sought-after version of Grand Theft Auto 5, featuring a unique cover due to a rare misprint. The news quickly spread online, coinciding with the trolling antics of a rumored GTA 6 actor on social media. Product misprints can often lead to incredibly high prices in the world of collectibles, and while they are more commonly associated with items like rare Pokemon cards, they can also produce one-of-a-kind video game copies that appeal to collectors of all kinds.
Reddit user damcanadian recently discovered an extremely rare version of Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PS4 with an intriguingly flawed cover. Instead of featuring the standard cover artwork with a PS4 logo at the top, the game's cover features a sheet that appears to have been miscut, resulting in the intended top being positioned near the middle of the box.
The exact location where this unique version of Grand Theft Auto 5 was found was not disclosed by the original poster. However, the user's name and the absence of a holographic PS4 strip, which is used as a guarantee of factory-sealed items in some markets, suggest that this particular copy of the popular game was obtained from Canada. Regardless of its origin, the misprinted box is extremely rare and surpasses even the rarest Grand Theft Auto 5 finds in terms of its scarcity.
Following the recent viral image of a rare version of Grand Theft Auto 5, fans have been urging the presumed owner not to unseal the box, suggesting that it is likely to appreciate in value over time. However, given that Rockstar has not yet unveiled the follow-up to its hit 2013 game, it is unlikely that this edition will become a vintage collector's item anytime soon.
Looking ahead, the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to launch in 2024 at the earliest. Take-Two Interactive has recently forecasted a significant revenue increase for its fiscal year ending on March 31, 2025. This has led many to speculate that the Grand Theft Auto 6 release window will be sometime in the preceding 12 months. Moreover, all 3D games in the franchise have debuted in the final quarters of their respective launch years, suggesting a Q4 2024 release as the most realistic scenario for Grand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is available on PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
