GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition
| Edition | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | Base game. Eligible for the Vintage Vice City Pack if pre-ordered or purchased before November 20, 2026. |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | Base game plus Ultimate Edition Upgrade, including exclusive vehicles, weapons, clothing, shops, and extra story-linked content. |
Worth Knowing: You do not have to choose Ultimate Edition immediately. Rockstar Support says Standard Edition owners can purchase the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately later.
What is included in GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
The Ultimate Edition bonuses are tied to Jason and Lucia’s story, with new items uncovered behind different chapters. The upgrade includes vehicles, weapons, visual customization, stores, and extra activities.
| Category | Ultimate Edition bonuses |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles, Ganado Retro Build, Shitzu Squalo, ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage. |
| Weapons | Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers and personalized weapon variants for Jason and Lucia. |

Pre-order bonuses apply to both editions
The Vintage Vice City Pack is not exclusive to the Ultimate Edition. It is included with all GTA 6 pre-orders and purchases made before November 20, 2026.
The pack includes the ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. Digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+.
Physical buyers should note one major limitation: Rockstar says the physical version includes a download code inside the box, and a disc is not included. A physical Ultimate Edition is also not available, but physical Standard Edition owners can upgrade digitally after redeeming the code.
Which GTA 6 edition should you buy?
The Standard Edition is the safer choice if you only want the full GTA 6 story and do not care much about exclusive cosmetics, bonus vehicles, customization shops, or extra side content.
The Ultimate Edition makes more sense if you want the most complete single-player package from day one, especially if you care about vehicle customization, character style, exclusive weapons, and story-threaded bonus activities.
Since the Ultimate Edition Upgrade can be bought separately later, undecided players can start with Standard Edition and upgrade after seeing more of the game.
