What does the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition include?
The $99.99 GTA 6 Ultimate Edition costs $20 more than the Standard Edition and comes with additional vehicles, weapons, customisation options and activities.
According to Rockstar Games, some of the extras include:
- Exclusive vehicles: A '95 Grotti Cheetah, Shitzu Squalo boat, and '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with a garage.
- Weapons: Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers and personalised weapon variants.
- Character customisation: Exclusive outfits, tattoos, hairstyles, makeup and other Vice City styles.
- Properties and customisation: Jason's safehouse vehicles, additional clothing stores, salons and vehicle modification shops.
- Additional activities: A raid involving the PTT Youngin$ compound and a classic car collection mission.
The extras are introduced throughout Jason and Lucia's story rather than being limited to a single collection of items.
One useful detail is that you don't necessarily have to decide on the Ultimate Edition before buying. Players who purchase the Standard Edition can later buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade through the PlayStation or Xbox storefronts.
That makes the $79.99 version a reasonable starting point if you're unsure whether the additional content is worth the extra $20.
What do you get for preordering GTA 6?
Rockstar is offering the Vintage Vice City Pack to players who preorder or purchase GTA 6 before November 20, 2026.
The bonus includes:
- A yellow '55 Vapid Stanier sedan with its own garage.
- Exclusive outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia.
- A special weapon pattern.
There's also a digital preorder benefit, which is one free month of GTA+. The membership normally costs $7.99 per month and provides access to benefits in GTA Online and Rockstar's game library.
The distinction is worth noting. Both physical and digital purchases qualify for the Vintage Vice City Pack, but the additional GTA+ membership benefit is tied to digital purchases.
Is it better to buy GTA 6 digitally or physically?
The biggest difference between the two versions is how you receive and access the game.
Digital copies are purchased directly through your console's storefront and can be downloaded ahead of launch. They also include the free month of GTA+ alongside the Vintage Vice City Pack.
Physical copies, on the other hand, come in a retail box containing a download code rather than a game disc. You'll still receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, but not the additional free GTA+ month.
This is an important distinction for collectors who prefer owning physical game discs. The GTA 6 retail box may look like a traditional game release, but it doesn't contain one.
For most players, the digital version is the more convenient option, especially if they want to preload the game and receive the additional GTA+ benefit. However, the physical code-in-box version is worth considering if you prefer buying from retailers or collecting the packaging.
When can you preload GTA 6, and when does it come out?
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on Thursday, November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Digital preloading began on November 10, allowing players who have already purchased the game to download it before launch. Physical code-in-box copies are expected to become available for shipping and pickup from November 12, with buyers able to redeem their codes and begin downloading the game.
Preloading means you won't have to wait for the full game download on launch day. However, the game remains locked until its official release.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Not at launch. Rockstar has confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the game's launch platforms, with no official PC release date announced.
