GTA 6: Standard vs Ultimate Edition

GTA 6 ships in just two editions — no separate collector's box. Here's exactly what's in each, the pre-order bonus, and which one is actually worth your money.

Standard Edition

$79.99

  • ✓ Full base game
  • ✓ Vintage Vice City Pack (pre-order bonus)
  • ✓ Digital or physical (code-in-box)

The pre-order bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack

Both editions include the Vintage Vice City Pack if you pre-order before November 20, 2026 — a set of throwback items that "flash back to when the neon burned brightest." Digital pre-orders also get a free month of GTA+. If you know you're buying, pre-ordering early is free bonus content.

Which should you buy?

Story-first

Get Standard

If you mainly care about Lucia & Jason's story, the $79.99 Standard Edition is the whole single-player game. Don't overpay.

Online grinder

Get Ultimate

If you'll live in GTA Online, the extra $20 buys bonus currency, content, and a month of GTA+ — it pays for itself fast.

Ready to lock it in?

Pre-order before Nov 20 to guarantee the Vintage Vice City Pack.

What's the difference between the two editions?

Standard is the full base game. Ultimate adds bonus in-game content, currency, and a free month of GTA+ on digital pre-orders. Both get the Vintage Vice City Pack when pre-ordered before Nov 20.

Is the Ultimate Edition worth $20 more?

For heavy GTA Online players, yes — the bonus currency and GTA+ month offset the cost. For story-only players, the Standard Edition is enough.

Does GTA 6 come with a disc?

The physical version is a code in a box, not a disc. Both physical and digital deliver the same game.
