Selfridges opened a GTA VI pop-up in London and Manchester on 9 November 2026 with 60+ items and a £2,500 jacket; it runs until 28 November.
What Happened
London department store Selfridges opened a Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) pop-up shop on Monday, 9 November 2026, selling more than 60 items of official merchandise for Rockstar Games' upcoming game. The GTA VI Selfridges activation is running at the store's Bond Street shop in London and its Manchester shop until Saturday, 28 November 2026. Its most expensive item, a Goodtime State varsity jacket priced at 2,500 pounds, has drawn criticism from fans over pricing.
Key Facts
- Opening: Monday, 9 November 2026, at Selfridges London (Bond Street) and Selfridges Manchester.
- Duration: until Saturday, 28 November 2026.
- Range: more than 60 items, including shirts, jackets, caps, bags, mugs, dartboards and keychains.
- Top price: a Goodtime State varsity jacket at 2,500 pounds, about 3,355 dollars according to one conversion.
- More than half of the merchandise is reported to be exclusive to Selfridges.
- Some T-shirts on sale appear identical to shirts already sold on Rockstar's own online store for 29.99 dollars, and fans have criticised the higher prices at Selfridges.
- Several items, including a T-shirt, a mug, a cap, a basketball and a dartboard, were reported sold out on the first day; reports differ on whether the jacket had sold out.
Why It Matters
GTA VI is one of the most anticipated video games in years, and Rockstar Games is building up to its release with events and merchandise. A tie-up with a luxury department store like Selfridges shows how big gaming brands now behave like fashion and entertainment brands, with limited drops, exclusive items and high prices aimed at collectors.
For young gamers, the story is also a lesson in hype pricing. The same or very similar products can cost far more when sold as an exclusive or through a premium store. Reports that some T-shirts look identical to shirts available for 29.99 dollars on Rockstar's own store explain why many fans reacted badly. Resale listings for pop-up items have also appeared online.
For Indian fans, the pop-up is a UK-only event. One report notes that Selfridges has not confirmed online sales or international shipping for the collection, so fans in India should be careful with resellers or websites claiming to sell "Selfridges exclusive" GTA VI items. Official Rockstar merchandise is sold through Rockstar's own store.
What to do next: if you want GTA VI merchandise, compare prices on Rockstar's official store before paying a premium, and avoid unofficial sellers offering pop-up exclusives without proof.
Peepals calculation: Using the reported conversion of 2,500 pounds to about 3,355 dollars, the varsity jacket costs as much as about 112 of the 29.99 dollar T-shirts sold on Rockstar's own store (3,355 ÷ 29.99 ≈ 111.9). The pop-up runs for 20 days, from 9 to 28 November 2026. Our calculation from the reported figures.

Impact

Key Takeaway
The GTA VI Selfridges pop-up opened on 9 November 2026 with more than 60 items and a 2,500 pound jacket, runs until 28 November, and has sparked fan criticism over prices far above Rockstar's own store.
