Official GTA 6 stickers revealed — a Vice City bonus hidden in Dazed's autumn issue
Seven official GTA 6 stickers — including an 'I <3 Vice City' design and a new GTA VI-themed Rockstar Games logo — come with the print edition of Dazed's autumn 2026 issue. The GTA VI cover sold out instantly online; after a limited reprint, it went back on sale on September 11, 2026.
The first wave of official Grand Theft Auto VI merchandise is starting to take shape — and one of the more unexpected items is hiding inside a fashion magazine. RockstarINTEL has revealed a set of seven official GTA 6 stickers included with the print edition of Dazed's autumn 2026 issue, the same publication that hosted Rockstar's big gameplay preview last month.
Seven stickers from Vice City
According to RockstarINTEL, the print copy of the magazine comes with a sheet of seven stickers designed around the game's Vice City identity. The set includes an "I <3 Vice City" design, a classic take on the Vice City logo, and even a new Grand Theft Auto VI-themed Rockstar Games logo. High-quality images of the sheet, credited to a Dazed staff member, show a mix of sunny pastels and neon accents that could have been pulled straight from the game's loading screens.
The stickers are a natural extension of the issue's GTA VI theme. Dazed's autumn 2026 "New Idols" edition is built around a Rockstar exclusive: a lengthy feature with the studio's creative leads that produced some of the most detailed official information about GTA 6 to date — from character systems like weight, muscle and stamina to Rockstar's research trips through Miami. One of the magazine's cover variants pairs Lucia and Jason in a brand-new Vice City illustration, styled as a fashion editorial, alongside fresh official screenshots.
A collector's item that sold out before release
The catch is availability. The autumn issue officially reaches select magazine stands on September 10, but the GTA VI cover variant has already sold out online "extremely quickly," and only a limited number of copies were printed. RockstarINTEL reports that online distributor Boutique Mags is keeping a waiting list — interested readers can email GTADazed@boutiquemags.com — and that the distributor is in direct contact with Dazed's team about the possibility of printing more copies.
For collectors, the sticker sheet makes the print edition one of the first physical pieces of official GTA VI merchandise anyone can actually hold. It lands alongside the other early entries in the merch wave: the limited-edition DualSense controllers that Sony unveiled at its State of Play broadcast, whose pre-orders open on the same September 10 date. Both arrive well ahead of the game itself, which is still scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The merch wave begins
Rockstar has rarely let official products trickle out this close to a launch, and the Dazed partnership is doing double duty: the magazine carries real editorial weight for the game's systems coverage while its physical extras give fans a first chance to own a piece of Vice City. Whether the sticker sheet becomes a sought-after collector's item depends on how many copies Dazed manages to print — but for now, anyone who wants one should probably get on that waiting list.
September 11: the reprint lands — the GTA cover is back on sale
A week after the issue's international release, that waiting list paid off. On September 11, readers received a "GTA Reprint Notice (Sept 2026)" alert pointing them back to the GTA cover variant of the autumn 2026 issue, listed again as in stock by the print distributor Boutique Galleria at £7.99. The listing is unusually direct about the odds: "GTA pre-orders sold out instantly, but we've got you covered. We're dropping a limited re-run of physical copies this autumn. To place your order, do not hesitate; they will sell out fast. These copies will ship at the end of the month."
The reprint answers a shipping backlog that had been building since the issue first went up for sale in late August. On GTAForums, a buyer who had ordered on August 26 reported that their copy had been "waiting to be shipped" ever since, speculating about a problem at the printer — the same forum thread that flagged the restock. The distributor's own page now carries a short reassurance for those early orders — "pre-orders shipping imminently" — alongside the re-run offer.
Copies are starting to turn up in the wild
Availability is still a physical, location-by-location affair. The fan account GTA VI Countdown reported on September 11 that copies of the issue were "starting to appear out in the wild" in New York City, with more expected at select spots in Los Angeles and London — a distribution pattern closer to a handful of curated stockists than a full newsstand rollout, and one that matches the "select magazine stands" language used when the issue was first announced.
For collectors, the important detail is that nothing about the issue itself has changed. The reprint is the same New Idols edition — the Rockstar exclusive interview, the fashion-editorial cover with Jason and Lucia, the fresh screenshots — and it still includes the sheet of seven official GTA 6 stickers, the "I <3 Vice City" design and the GTA VI-themed Rockstar logo among them. Only the supply has changed, and only for as long as the re-run lasts: with a limited second printing and a warehouse that has already seen one sell-out, the same advice from August still applies.
September 12: the reprint holds, and the resale market moves in
The second printing has kept the issue in circulation — and drawn in a different kind of coverage. On September 12, reseller-tracking site Resell Calendar flagged the Dazed GTA VI cover as back in stock and treated it openly as an opportunity, noting that "resellers were flipping copies for triple digit profits last month" and pointing readers at the reopened listings.
That framing is worth a caution. The reprint is a limited second printing, shipping from the end of the month, and the distributor's own wording — "they will sell out fast" — suggests that patience, not speculation, is the more reliable strategy for anyone who actually wants to read the Rockstar interview and peel the seven official stickers. Secondary listings for the issue have already appeared on marketplaces such as eBay, where copies are being resold as "limited edition" stock.
Nothing about the product has changed. It is still the New Idols autumn edition, with the GTA VI cover, the fashion-editorial shoot featuring Jason and Lucia, and the sheet of seven official GTA 6 stickers — the "I <3 Vice City" design and the VI-themed Rockstar logo included.
