Virgin Media O2 Launches GTA 6 Pre-Order Plan at £20 Down, £1.39 Monthly for 36 Months

Virgin Media O2, a major UK mobile network, broadband, and broadcast provider, has unveiled a financing option for Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders available to both existing customers and non-customers.

The deal breaks down as follows: pay £20 upfront, then £1.39 per month for 36 months to fully own the game. With no interest charges, the total comes to approximately £70, matching the standard retail price. The monthly rate equates to about 5 pence per day.

Virgin Media O2 stated: "Whether players are counting down the days until they return to Vice City, planning launch-day gaming sessions with friends, or simply looking to be part of gaming's biggest cultural moment, O2 is making it easier than ever to get launch-ready, without the large upfront expense."

This financing approach offers an alternative to upfront purchase for players managing their budgets. Other UK retailers have similarly adopted buy-now-pay-later services like Klarna for GTA 6 pre-orders. The Virgin Media O2 option differs by locking customers into a 36-month payment cycle.

The deal reportedly experienced significant traffic on Virgin Media O2's website at launch, indicating strong initial interest among UK gamers preparing for Grand Theft Auto 6's release.
