GTA 6 Included In Official PlayStation Lease Bundle For £18

PlayStation Is Leasing PS5s And GTA 6 For £18, But It’s Not A Good Deal Source: Rockstar Published Nov 14, 2026, 7:02 AM EST James Lucas is the Lead Photo Editor at TheGamer and has worked in professional journalism since 2018.

However, in the UK, you can actually lease a console, and PlayStation has officially listed three brand-new GTA 6 bundles. The idea of leasing a console you don't own, to play a game you can't even buy anyway — only license — is a little murky, and veers a bit into Klarna for Uber Eats territory, but it's less daunting than paying £588.99-£858.99 for one game. The official PlayStation Flex page now has three GTA 6 bundles: PS5 1TB with two DualSense controllers — £19.49/mo. PS5 825GB Digital Edition with two DualSense controllers — £18.49/mo. PS5 1TB with a single DualSense controller — £18.49/mo. If you're only grabbing the bundle for GTA 6, there's not much point paying extra for the PS5 1TB since the game is digital exclusive anyway. However, this doesn't mean that you can pay £18.49, beat GTA 6 in a month, and then return the console. In fact, the deal is a lot worse than it looks on paper. At £18.49/mo, You're Actually Paying More Than You Would If You Just Bought A PS5 Unlike standard PS5 leases, the GTA 6 bundle does not allow for monthly rolling. You must pick a fixed lease term, either 12 months, 24 months, or 36 months. £18.49/mo for a PS5 825GB Digital Edition is a 36-month contract, which adds up to £665.64 in total. That's a lot steeper than buying the console and game outright. So, while the idea of paying £18/mo for GTA 6 and a PS5 might sound more enticing than the upfront costs, a lump sum of £588.99, it's far from a bargain. If you can't afford the console and game right now, you'd be better off buying them on a credit plan that you pay back monthly. At least then, you get to keep the console after your fixed term. Better yet, if you have a good enough internet connection, just buy an Xbox One and stream it. They go for around £115 on eBay. There is the option of a 12-month contract when leasing a PS5 with GTA 6, but the monthly payment increases to £29.95, equal to £359 a year. You're saving around £229.99 in total that way, which is a little easier to stomach, but it's still steep for a console you don't get to keep, and a game you don't own.
