GTA 6 Standard Edition costs $79.99 and Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 in the US. Both contain the full game, and buying either before November 20, 2026 earns the pre-order bonuses, though the GTA+ month needs an eligible digital purchase from PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store. The extra $20 adds 16 items on Rockstar’s list: vehicles, weapons, outfits, shops, a gang raid and a car-hunting commission. Ultimate is digital only, and five shops open only with it.
Both editions launch on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and our GTA 6 release times by region list when they unlock. Item names below are from Rockstar’s Ultimate Edition page, and US prices are from the PlayStation Store listing. Insider Gaming reports UK prices of £69.99 and £89.99.

What both GTA 6 editions get: Vintage Vice City Pack and GTA+
You do not need Ultimate for these two bonuses, but they have a deadline. Take-Two’s June 24 announcement gives the pack to pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026.
- Vintage Vice City Pack: a two-tone ’55 Vapid Stanier, the Shore Court garage near Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a weapon pattern.
- One month of GTA+ on PlayStation: for digital purchases from PlayStation Store before November 20, 2026. You must claim it by March 31, 2027, once per account. PlayStation excludes its stores in Bahrain, China, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia and Taiwan, and warns that the month continues into a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel.
- One month of GTA+ on Xbox: the Xbox Store listing includes it with purchases made by 23:59:59 on November 19, 2026. You must redeem it within 180 days of your pre-order, once per account, and child accounts with restrictions on age-restricted content cannot redeem it.
Rockstar’s GTA+ description covers GTA Online perks and a games library. PlayStation’s FAQ describes GTA VI itself as a single-player experience, so this bonus does not add to the GTA VI story.
Is the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition worth $20 more?
It depends on how much you want extras. We have not played either edition, so this is based on Rockstar’s list only.
- Standard makes sense if you want the full game, or a boxed code. Rockstar has not said any Ultimate item is required for the story.
- Ultimate makes sense if you care about customization, because five of the 16 items are shops, or want the two extra activities.
- Wait if you are unsure: the US Xbox Store lists a separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade at $20.00, open for pre-order with a November 19, 2026 release, and it requires the game. PlayStation lists its own Upgrade add-on, but that showed “Pre-Order Unavailable” when we checked on November 7, and its price and start date are not confirmed in what we could read.
If you are changing your mind on an order, timing matters. PS5 pre-load starts on November 10 at local midnight, and our guide to canceling a GTA 6 pre-order explains why starting the download can affect a refund. Our GTA 6 pre-load guide has the times and the 212 GB size.
