GTA VI Editions Compared: Standard and Ultimate
Rockstar lists two GTA VI editions: Standard includes the game, while Ultimate adds a collection of vehicles, weapons, styles and other content. Standard owners can buy the upgrade separately. The boxed release contains a download code rather than a disc, and its Standard edition can be upgraded after redemption.

Rockstar says Ultimate content is distributed across Jason and Lucia’s story. Its full official list includes the ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, Vice City Styles, Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles and other vehicles, shops, clothing and items. We have not played the game or verified how or when these unlock.
Can I upgrade later? #
Yes. Rockstar says Standard owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately through PlayStation or Microsoft stores. For a boxed Standard copy, redeem the game code first. Check the current upgrade price on your own store; this guide does not assume the price is the same across countries.
Preorder bonuses and physical copies #
Rockstar says digital preorders and purchases of either edition before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack and one month of GTA+. The pack includes a ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. Check the store’s current terms and any subscription conditions before purchase.
Physical preorders include the game code and Vintage Vice City Pack according to Rockstar. The box contains no disc; a download is required. Physical Ultimate is not offered, but the digital upgrade can be purchased after redeeming Standard. PlayStation codes have regional restrictions; see the preload guide before buying across regions.
