GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: What's Included vs Standard

Ultimate Edition is the higher-priced Grand Theft Auto VI package. Take-Two's pre-order announcement lists Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99 for the November 19, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Rockstar's editions page describes Ultimate as an exclusive collection of items threaded across Jason and Lucia's story, and Standard as the base game with pre-order bonuses where they apply.

What Does GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Include?

Rockstar's editions comparison lists Ultimate-only items that Standard does not. Named entries on that page include:

• '95 Grotti Cheetah
• Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers
• Personalized Weapon Variants — including the engraved Sua Sponte pistol and rose-grip compact pistol in our database
• Vice City Style
• Jason's Safehouse Vehicles — Dinka Enduro and Crest Kayak
• Ganado Retro Build
• Rideout Customs Mod Shop
• Sara's Unisex Salon
• Shitzu Squalo
• Stock 305 Clothing Store
• '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy
• Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor
• One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop
• Goodtime Gear
• PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store
• Classic Car Collection

PlayStation's Ultimate Edition store page expands several of those names with short descriptions (for example the Cheetah's retro-futuristic livery and the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers' Vice City styling). That en-us listing shows $99.99 USD; Sony's product ID uses an EP1004-… prefix on the US storefront. Treat store copy as the listing for that storefront; Rockstar's editions page is the edition comparison source.

GTA 6 Ultimate Edition vs Standard

	Standard	Ultimate

Full single-player story	Yes	Yes

Both editions are the same single-player game. Ultimate adds the exclusive collection listed above.

Is the Ultimate Edition Worth It?

Our opinion: Ultimate is the same game and the same story as Standard. The US gap is $20 more ($99.99 vs $79.99) for the cosmetic vehicles, weapons, shops and outfits on Rockstar's editions list — not a different campaign.

On Xbox, an Ultimate Edition Upgrade is listed separately at $20.00, so you can buy Standard now and upgrade later. PlayStation Store also lists a Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade for Standard owners; check that storefront for the live price when you qualify.

Does Ultimate Include Online?

No. Take-Two and PlayStation describe Grand Theft Auto VI as a single-player experience. Ultimate's extras are threaded through Jason and Lucia's story. A free month of GTA+ attached to some digital pre-orders is a GTA Online / Rockstar subscription bonus, not a GTA 6 Online mode.

Pre-Order Bonuses vs Ultimate Content

Take-Two says pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack, plus a free month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders. Rockstar Support and the editions page also list those as pre-order bonuses. They are not the same as the Ultimate-only vehicle and shop list.

Digital pre-orders can begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026. Physical code-in-box copies support the same pre-load window. See Do You Get to Preload Into GTA 6? and How to Cancel a GTA 6 Pre-Order.

Where to Buy

Official channels named in Take-Two's announcement: PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store, and global retailers. Compare the edition name on your receipt before you pay.
