What is included in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
Rockstar says the Ultimate Edition Upgrade includes bonuses threaded through Jason and Lucia's story. The official list includes:
- The '95 Grotti Cheetah
- Hawk and Little Morgan Revolvers
- Personalized weapon variants and Vice City styles
- Jason's safehouse vehicles
- The Ganado Retro Build
- Rideout Customs Mod Shop
- Sara's Unisex Salon
- The Shitzu Squalo
- Stock 305 Clothing Store

These are single-player extras, not a replacement for the main game. Standard Edition owners can buy the digital Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately later, according to Rockstar's editions support page.
What are the GTA 6 preorder bonuses?
Orders and purchases made before November 20, 2026 are eligible for the Vintage Vice City Pack. Rockstar lists the following contents:
- '55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and garage
- Outfits and hairstyles
- An exclusive weapon pattern
Eligible digital preorders also include one month of GTA+. Rockstar says this subscription benefit must be redeemed under its offer terms and may not be available to restricted child accounts.
Preorder terms can change or vary by retailer, so confirm the bonuses on the checkout page before paying.
When can you preorder and preload GTA 6?
GTA 6 preorders are open now for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Digital preloading starts at local midnight on November 12, 2026, and the game unlocks on November 19, 2026.
PC preorders are not available because Rockstar has not announced a PC version. See our GTA 6 PC release guide for the current platform status.
Is the physical GTA 6 version on a disc?
No. Rockstar says the physical Standard Edition contains a download code inside the box, not a game disc. Physical copies are expected to ship or become available for pickup beginning November 12 so buyers can redeem the code and preload before launch.
There is no physical Ultimate Edition. A physical Standard Edition owner can purchase the Ultimate Edition Upgrade digitally after redeeming the game code.
Which GTA 6 edition should you buy?
Choose the Standard Edition if you want the full game at the lowest official price. Choose the Ultimate Edition if the listed story bonuses are worth $20 to you. Because the upgrade can be purchased separately, undecided players do not need to buy Ultimate immediately.
The edition choice does not affect the confirmed platforms. Both editions are currently offered for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, while PC remains unannounced.
