GTA 6 Editions and Prices: Standard vs Ultimate

Grand Theft Auto VI has two editions: the Standard Edition at USD 79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at USD 99.99. The Ultimate Edition adds an upgrade pack of vehicles, weapons, outfits, properties and extra businesses. The physical release is a download code in a box with no disc, and the Ultimate Edition is digital only.

GTA 6 editions compared

Prices below are from the PlayStation Store in the US, UK and Germany (for the euro price).

Both editions get the same pre-order bonus, covered below.

What the Ultimate Edition adds

The Ultimate Edition Upgrade includes:

• Premium vehicles such as the '95 Grotti Cheetah and the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy
• Hawk and Little Morgan revolvers
• Personalized pistols for Jason and Lucia
• Vice City themed outfits and tattoos
• Extra safehouse vehicles and properties
• Ultimate-only businesses: Rideout Customs, Sara's Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo (with designs by FAILE) and One-Eyed Willie's

The content unlocks across the story chapters rather than all at once.

If you buy the Standard Edition and change your mind later, you can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately. Its standalone price was not shown on the PlayStation Store listings checked.

Physical copies: a code in the box

The physical Standard Edition contains a download code and no disc. That means you still need to download the full game, and you can pre-load once you activate the code. There is no physical Ultimate Edition. Check our GTA 6 pre-load guide for timing and download size.

Pre-order bonus for every edition

Every pre-order, and any purchase made before November 20, 2026, includes the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital pre-orders of any edition on PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store also include one free month of GTA+. Full details are in our GTA 6 pre-order bonus guide.

Which edition should you buy?

If you only want the story and the core game, the Standard Edition covers it, and it is the only option if you want something on the shelf. The Ultimate Edition makes sense if you want the extra vehicles, weapons and businesses from the start of your playthrough, and you are happy to buy digitally.

Pre-orders opened at midnight local time on June 25, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Not sure which console to buy it on? See every GTA 6 platform.
