- Grand Theft Auto 6 will have a Standard and Ultimate Edition
- The Ultimate Edition is the premium version that comes with a host of exclusive features
- Pre-ordering any edition will grant the Vintage Vice City Pack
Rockstar Games has officially revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will only have two versions at launch: Standard and Ultimate Edition.
It's not what many expected, but there are some major differences between the two.
If you're on the fence about what form your GTA 6 pre-order will take when it comes to the edition, here's everything you need to know about both.
Price
The Standard Edition will cost $79.99, which isn't too expensive for the most highly anticipated game of all time, while the Ultimate Edition is priced at $99.99.
No disc in physical editions
Rockstar has confirmed that those who pre-order digital versions of GTA 6 can begin pre-loading on November 12, seven days in advance of the game's launch on November 19.
However, no matter what version of the game you purchase, be it Standard or Ultimate, the physical edition won't come with a disc, but a download code in the box instead.
It's unfortunate, but the physical version will be available starting November 12 to support pre-loading.
What's included in the Standard Edition?
As is typical with most games, the GTA 6 Standard Edition will only come with the base game and no additional add-ons, unlike its more premium counterpart.
What's included in the Ultimate Edition?
Being the more costly edition of the game, the Ultimate Edition will come with an exclusive collection of "premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner."
"Ultimate Edition bonuses are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter," Rockstar teased.
The Ultimate Edition exclusive features include:
- The '95 Gotti Cheetah vehicle
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers - His and hers versions of this powerful revolver with classic Vice City stylings sourced from the Vercetti Estate, including palm-tree-etched grips, engraved detailing, and high-performance scope

Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order goodies
Players who pre-order or purchase any edition of the game before November 20 will receive a code for the Vintage Vice City Pack, "a collection of items that flash back to when the neon burned brightest."
The Vintage City Pack includes:
- ’55 Vapid Stanier vehicle - can be stored in the Shore Court personal garage by Ocean Beach
