Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI opened worldwide on June 25, 2026. There are exactly two editions - Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99 - And, unusually for a release of this size, no collector's edition, no steelbook tier and no physical bundle beyond ordinary retail.
That simplicity is deliberate. Rockstar has run elaborate collector's editions before and chosen not to here, which sidesteps the scalping and allocation chaos that usually accompanies them.
Every pre-order placed before November 20, 2026 also receives the Vintage Vice City Pack, a set of items referencing 2002's Vice City. Digital pre-orders additionally get one month of GTA+, redeemable in the existing GTA Online.

Is the Ultimate Edition worth it?
It comes down to one question. Does cosmetic content matter to you in the first hour of a game you will play for a hundred?
What the extra $20 actually buys
Three vehicles, some apparel and shop access. None of those are systems. They are a head start on flavour.
The Standard Edition is the whole game. Nothing in the story is behind the upgrade, as our edition comparison sets out line by line.
Which edition suits which player
Both editions contain the same game. The split is about cosmetics.
| If you | Buy | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Just want to play GTA 6 | Standard | The campaign is identical |
| Buy cosmetics in most games anyway | Ultimate | $20 bundled beats buying pieces later |
| Like earning your vehicles | Standard | Cars handed to you in hour one were not earned |
| Want the Vice City weapon pattern | Pre-order either | It is a pre-order bonus, not an edition tier |
Our position
For most players the answer is no.
We are not affiliated with any retailer and earn nothing from either choice. If you are buying, read pre-order scams first, and the price analysis for why $80 is the number.
