Rockstar Games is releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 in only two versions at launch, the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition. Both include the base game and a free month of GTA+, and both come with the same pre-order bonus. The difference is a bundle of extra cars, boats, clothing, and side missions that only ships with the pricier Ultimate Edition.
Quick answer: Buy the Ultimate Edition if you want the full set of exclusive vehicles, cosmetics, and two extra side quests for a $20 (or £20) premium. Pick the Standard Edition if you only want the game plus the Vintage Vice City Pack.
Price and platforms for both GTA 6 editions
Both editions run on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, and the game launches on November 19, 2026. The Ultimate Edition costs exactly one price tier above Standard in every region.
| Region | Standard Edition | Ultimate Edition |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $79.99 | $99.99 |
| United Kingdom | £69.99 | £89.99 |
| India | Rs 5,999 | Rs 7,499 |
The difference lands at $20 in the US and £20 in the UK. There is no cheaper tier below Standard, so the base game price is the entry point.
What the Standard Edition includes
The Standard Edition covers the full base game and a one-month GTA+ subscription, which grants in-game benefits tied to Rockstar’s membership service. Pre-ordering also unlocks the Vintage Vice City Pack, a 1980s-styled set of cosmetics and vehicles.
The Vintage Vice City Pack contains:
- ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan
- Shore Court personal garage
- Blue linen suit and hairstyle for Jason
- Red sequin mini dress and curls hairstyle for Lucia
- Weapon skins inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s Vice City shirt
This pack is a pre-order bonus, so it comes with both editions.
What the Ultimate Edition adds on top
The Ultimate Edition includes everything in the Standard Edition, then layers on the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. That upgrade is where the extra money goes, and it is mostly vehicles, cosmetics, and shop access, plus two additional side quests.
Vehicles and watercraft
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah sports car
- ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy off-roader
- Dinka Enduro motorcycle
- Crest Kayak
- Vapid Ganado Retro Build pickup, with exclusive mods
- Shitzu Squalo boat with a Weapon’s Crate
- Paradise Garage to store them
Weapons and cosmetics
- Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers
- Jason’s Girardi ES9 pistol and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistol as personalized variants
- Vice City Styles Pack with outfits, tattoos, and more
- Goodtime Gear Collection of clothing and accessories
Shop access and side quests
The Ultimate Edition also unlocks exclusive in-game access to several businesses, including Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s vehicle mod shops, Stock 305 clothing store, Sara’s Unisex Salon, and Electric Fang Tattoo. Two extra side quests come bundled as well: the Classic Car Collection and the PTT Youngin$ Scores.
Standard vs Ultimate at a comparison
| Content | Standard | Ultimate |
|---|---|---|
| Base game | Yes | Yes |
| One month of GTA+ | Yes | Yes |
| Vintage Vice City Pack (pre-order) | Yes | Yes |
| Exclusive vehicles and watercraft | No | Yes |
| Extra weapons and weapon variants | No | Yes |
| Extra outfits, tattoos, and cosmetics | No | Yes |
| Exclusive shop access | No | Yes |

Which GTA 6 edition should you buy?
The decision comes down to how much you value vehicles and cosmetics. The Ultimate Edition Upgrade is almost entirely optional flair, cars, boats, clothing, and shop unlocks, along with the two side quests. None of it is required to play the core game.
If you want the biggest garage and the widest wardrobe from day one, the Ultimate Edition covers it for a $20 or £20 step up. If you would rather spend less and are happy with the base game plus the Vintage Vice City Pack, the Standard Edition delivers the same story and world at a lower price.
Note: Only these two editions have been confirmed. Speculation about additional versions has circulated, but nothing beyond Standard and Ultimate is official.
