THE GTA FEED GUIDE
GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: what’s included?
Standard Edition includes the full GTA 6 game. Digital Ultimate Edition adds a pack of vehicles, weapons, and other extras you unlock during the story. Standard owners can buy that same upgrade separately, including players who redeem a boxed Standard Edition code.
What comes with each GTA 6 edition?
Start with the format and whether you want the story extras. The Vintage Vice City Pack and the GTA+ offer depend on the purchase format and timing. They are separate from the Ultimate Edition Upgrade.
| Edition | What you get | Purchase and upgrade options |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Standard | The full game. Eligible digital purchases also get the Vintage Vice City Pack and a one-month GTA+ offer. | Buy through your platform store. Add the Ultimate Edition Upgrade later if you want it. |
| Boxed Standard | A code for the full game. Physical pre-orders include the Vintage Vice City Pack. | Buy from a retailer and redeem the code. You can add the Ultimate Edition Upgrade after redemption. |
| Digital Ultimate | The full game and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. The same eligible digital purchase bonuses apply. | Buy through your platform store with the story extras included. |

What does Ultimate Edition add?
Rockstar’s list includes the 1995 Grotti Cheetah, the Hawk and Little Morgan revolvers, Jason’s safehouse vehicles, and a classic car collection. It also lists weapon variants and Vice City styles. The extras appear across Jason and Lucia’s story as you progress through chapters.
Choose Standard if you mainly want to play the story and haven’t decided whether you want the extras. If you already know you want the listed vehicles and gear, Ultimate includes them in the purchase.

Can you upgrade Standard to Ultimate later?
Yes. Open the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store on the account that owns the game and look for the Ultimate Edition Upgrade add-on. If you bought boxed Standard, redeem the base-game code on that account first. The upgrade is sold separately, so choose the add-on if you already own Standard.

Is there a GTA 6 disc or boxed Ultimate Edition?
The retail box is Standard Edition and contains a download code instead of a game disc. It works on a supported digital console. Rockstar expects participating retailers to start shipping or offering pickup from November 12. The digital pre-load window opens on November 10, with different start times on PS5 and Xbox.
Check the platform on the box and the region of your account before ordering. Rockstar recommends buying in your platform account’s country. Its FAQ lists which regions accept each PlayStation code and says GTA VI Xbox codes are region-free.

Which pre-order bonuses come with GTA 6?
The Vintage Vice City Pack includes the 1955 Vapid Stanier and garage, outfits and hairstyles, and a weapon pattern. Rockstar lists the pack for physical pre-orders and digital purchases of either edition before November 20, 2026. That digital offer also includes one month of GTA+ at no extra cost. Check the offer on your platform store in your region.
Rockstar says eligible PlayStation Store buyers can claim the month on the GTA+ product page by March 31, 2027. Eligible Microsoft Store buyers can claim it through Offers & Credits within 180 days of purchase. If you redeem the offer, GTA+ renews at the regular monthly price unless canceled.
