Editions & price
Standard $79.99 vs Ultimate $99.99 — what's actually confirmed
Two editions, on sale since June 25, 2026 on the PlayStation and Xbox stores. Here is what the store listings confirm — and where the listings are still the only honest source.
| Standard Edition | Ultimate Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $79.99 | $99.99 |
| The game | GTA VI (PS5 or Xbox Series X|S) | GTA VI (PS5 or Xbox Series X|S) |
| Pre-load | From November 12, 2026 | From November 12, 2026 |
| Pre-order bonus | Vintage Vice City Pack — included with purchases made before November 20, 2026 | |
| Extra content | — | Additional bonus content as detailed on the store listing at purchase |
The pre-order bonus has a deadline
The Vintage Vice City Pack is included when you buy before November 20, 2026 — the day after launch. It is a nostalgia-themed bonus pack sold through the GTA VI Collection on the Rockstar Store and bundled into store pre-orders. After November 20, do not assume it is still included; check the listing before you buy.
Which edition should you buy?
Our honest reading: the $20 difference buys the Ultimate Edition's extra in-game content, and the full itemised contents live on the PlayStation and Xbox store pages — read them before deciding, because Rockstar's own site had not published a price or content breakdown at the time of writing. If you only care about the story campaign on day one, Standard is the complete game; nothing about the launch date, pre-load, or unlock time changes with the edition. Edition choice also does not change your unlock time.
