GTA 6 editions, price and pre-order bonus explained

Rockstar announced the GTA 6 editions and pricing on June 24, 2026, and pre-orders opened the next day. There are two editions, priced the same on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Edition	US	UK	Eurozone (e.g. Spain)	Format
Standard	$79.99	£69.99	€79.99	Digital or boxed code
Ultimate Edition	$99.99	£89.99	€99.99	Digital

Standard Edition · $79.99

It includes the full single-player game. There is no extra content, apart from the pre-order bonus if you buy in time (explained below).

Ultimate Edition · $99.99

For $20 more (£20 in the UK, €20 in Europe) you get a pack of exclusive in-game content. According to the official announcement, it includes:

• Vehicles, including a 1995 Grotti Cheetah, a collection of classic cars and a boat.
• Custom weapons with exclusive engravings for Jason and Lucia.
• Exclusive clothing, tattoos and hairstyles.
• Stores and workshops only Ultimate owners can enter, plus a gang compound.

Before paying the difference, keep in mind that it is all cosmetic or convenience content within the story. It adds no missions and no expansion.

Pre-order bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack

It goes to every digital purchase made before November 20, 2026, and to physical pre-orders while stocks last. It includes a 1955 Vapid Stanier with its own garage near Ocean Beach, retro-inspired clothing and hairstyles for the couple, and a palm-tree finish for weapons.

Digital pre-orders on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store also add one free month of GTA+. Watch out: the subscription renews automatically at the regular price unless you cancel it.

The box has no disc

The physical edition is a download code inside a box. It has been in stores since November 12 so it can be preloaded. If you wanted a disc to avoid downloading more than 200 GB, it won’t help: you need the same space and the same connection as with the digital version. This drew plenty of criticism when it was announced.

Which one should you buy?

• If you only want to play the story, the digital Standard Edition bought before November 20 gets you the game plus the pre-order bonus.
• If you are into cars and customization, the Ultimate makes sense. Check whether your store offers an upgrade from Standard to Ultimate.
• If you want the box to collect or give as a gift, remember there is only a code inside.
