Standard vs Ultimate Edition

There are exactly two editions. The Standard gives you the complete game. The Ultimate adds exclusive single-player content that is unlocked through the campaign rather than handed over all at once.

EditionPrice (US)What you get
Standard$79.99The full GTA 6 story campaign, plus the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus
Ultimate$99.99Everything in Standard, plus exclusive in-campaign content (see below) and the same pre-order bonus

What the Ultimate Edition adds (for $20 more): Rockstar's store listing names 16 extras. All of them are single-player content, woven into the campaign rather than dropped in your lap at the start:

  • Five Ultimate-only destinations: Rideout Customs for custom car builds, Sara's Unisex Salon, the Stock 305 streetwear store, Electric Fang Tattoo (50-plus tattoos by the art collective FAILE) and One-Eyed Willie's, an off-road mod shop on Lake Leonida.
  • Vehicles: a '95 Grotti Cheetah, a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with its own garage, the Shitzu Squalo watercraft, a Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest kayak at Jason's safehouse, and exclusive mods for Jason's Vapid Ganado pickup.
  • Weapons: the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, plus engraved versions of Jason's and Lucia's pistols.
  • Style: the Vice City Style set of outfits, hairstyles and tattoos, and Goodtime Gear, themed on the TV character Macca the Gator.
  • Activities: the Classic Car Collection, project cars to restore for the collector Wyman, and a PTT Youngin$ gang compound to raid.

Which to buy // If you mainly want the story, the Standard is plenty. The Ultimate is worth it if you want the extra shops, weapons and vehicles built into your playthrough and do not mind the extra $20.

GTA 6 price

In the US, GTA 6 is $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Those are the official prices Rockstar set when pre-orders opened. There is no separate Special, Deluxe, or Collector's Edition.

Regional pricing follows local storefronts, and not every country had its exact figure published at launch. Check your own PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, or the Rockstar Store for the price in your currency.

Now that the real prices are out ($79.99 and $99.99), treat any listing far above the Ultimate's $99.99 as a red flag. The viral $150 and $200-plus figures that circulated before launch were never real, and some of those listings are scams.

Pre-order bonus: the Vintage Vice City Pack

Every GTA 6 pre-order, on both the Standard and Ultimate editions, includes the Vintage Vice City Pack, a nostalgia-themed in-game bundle. It contains:

  • The two-tone '55 Vapid Stanier, a vintage sedan with whitewall tires
  • The Shore Court Garage and an Ocean Beach property
  • Vintage outfits and hairstyles for both Jason and Lucia, including Jason's pastel linen suit
  • A Tommy Vercetti-themed weapon pattern (the palm-tree shirt design) you can apply to most guns

Deadline // To get the Vintage Vice City Pack you need to pre-order before November 20, 2026. After that the bonus is no longer guaranteed.

Digital pre-orders get one more extra: Take-Two's pre-order announcement includes a free month of GTA+, Rockstar's GTA Online membership, for digital pre-orders. Boxed copies do not get it.

Is there a GTA 6 Collector's Edition?

Not of the game. Despite years of speculation and leaks pointing to a Collector's Edition with a statue or steelbox, Rockstar released only two editions of GTA 6: Standard and Ultimate. There is no Collector's Edition, no Special Edition, and no Deluxe Edition of the game.

What Rockstar does sell is The Vice City Collection: a collector's box of themed merchandise, including a figure, cap, bag and souvenir poster, priced at 399.99 euros on the Rockstar Store, with deliveries starting after November 19. It does not include the game, not even as a download code, so you still need to buy GTA 6 separately.

If you were holding out for the premium tier, the Ultimate Edition ($99.99) is as high as the line-up goes. It is a digital upgrade built around extra in-campaign content rather than physical collectibles. See the Standard vs Ultimate breakdown above for exactly what it includes.

When you can pre-load

Digital pre-orders can start pre-loading on November 12, 2026, a full week before the November 19 launch. Pre-loading early means the game is installed and ready to play the moment it unlocks. Turn on automatic downloads and set your console as your primary device so it downloads as soon as the window opens.

For the full pre-load walkthrough and storage prep, see our GTA 6 pre-load guide.

Where to pre-order

GTA 6 pre-orders are available across digital storefronts and major retailers. Buy from one you already trust.

GameStopBoxed (download code, no disc)

For a boxed copy, the button below opens an Amazon search for GTA 6 so you can check current listings. Remember that the box contains a download code, not a disc, so it needs the same download and free space as a digital copy.

Scam warning

Buy only through official storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox or Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Store) or major retailers you trust. The Standard is $79.99 and the Ultimate is $99.99, so ignore any listing priced far above that, any seller promising early access or beta keys, and any site asking for payment by gift card or bank transfer.

PS5 console bundles and storage

No PS5 console bundle that includes GTA 6 has been announced. If you do not own a PS5, buy the console and pre-order the game separately. If you already own one, the most useful thing to sort before launch is internal storage. A flagship open-world game is large, and the PS5's built-in drive fills up fast. A compatible M.2 Gen4 NVMe SSD with a heatsink slots into the PS5's expansion bay and gives you room for GTA 6 alongside your library. Two drives that meet Sony's requirements:

Frequently asked questions

Are GTA 6 pre-orders live yet?

Yes. GTA 6 pre-orders opened June 25, 2026 on the PlayStation Store, Xbox/Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Store, and major retailers including Amazon and GameStop. The game launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

How much does GTA 6 cost?

In the US, the Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $99.99. Those are the only two editions. There is no Collector's Edition. Prices in other regions follow local pricing, and not every region's figure has been published yet.

What is the difference between the Standard and Ultimate Edition?

Standard ($79.99) is the full story campaign. Ultimate ($99.99) adds exclusive single-player content woven into the campaign: five extra businesses (Rideout Customs, Sara's Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo, and One-Eyed Willie's), the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers plus engraved variants of Jason's and Lucia's pistols, exclusive vehicles such as a '95 Grotti Cheetah and the Shitzu Squalo watercraft, extra clothing lines, a Classic Car Collection to restore and a PTT Youngin$ compound to raid. Rockstar's listing names 16 extras in all.

What is the GTA 6 pre-order bonus?

Every pre-order, on both editions, includes the Vintage Vice City Pack: the two-tone '55 Vapid Stanier, the Shore Court Garage, an Ocean Beach property, vintage outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a Tommy Vercetti-themed weapon pattern. You must pre-order before November 20, 2026 to receive it. Digital pre-orders also get a free month of GTA+.

When can I pre-load GTA 6?

Digital pre-orders can start pre-loading on November 12, 2026, a full week before the November 19 launch. Enable automatic downloads and set your console as primary so it downloads as soon as the window opens.

Is there a GTA 6 Collector's Edition or PS5 bundle?

Not of the game itself. The only editions are Standard ($79.99) and Ultimate ($99.99). Rockstar does sell The Vice City Collection, a 399.99 euro box of themed merchandise, but it does not include the game. No GTA 6 PS5 console bundle has been announced either: Sony's Midnight Black PS5, launching the same day, is a Japan-only console and not a bundle. If you do not own a PS5, buy the console and pre-order the game separately.

How do I avoid GTA 6 pre-order scams?

Buy only from official storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox/Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Store) or major retailers you trust. The Standard is $79.99 and the Ultimate is $99.99, so ignore any listing priced far above that, any seller promising early access or beta keys, and any site asking for payment by gift card or bank transfer.
