GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: Price, Contents and Is It Worth It

GTA 6 comes in two editions: Standard and Ultimate. Both contain the same full game. Ultimate adds an in-game bundle of vehicles, weapons, clothing and extra places to visit, for $20 more in the US. This guide gives you the official GTA 6 price in six currencies, lists every Ultimate Edition item one by one, explains the $20 upgrade path, and gives an honest answer to “is it worth it?”. The honest answer is mostly “nobody knows yet”, and we explain why.

What’s in each edition

Confirmed Standard Edition: the game, plus the Vintage Vice City Pack, one month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders, and pre-load. Ultimate Edition: everything in Standard plus the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. (PlayStation.com US)

Confirmed The physical code-in-box version and the PlayStation Store both sell Standard. Ultimate is sold only on the PlayStation Store, and upgrades from either Standard version are sold only there too. (PlayStation Support)

The bonuses that come with every edition have their own deadline. Details are in our pre-order bonus guide.

Ultimate Edition contents, item by item

Confirmed Rockstar describes Ultimate as “an exclusive collection of items threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story”. (Rockstar Games)

Confirmed The PlayStation Store listing for the Ultimate Edition Upgrade includes (PS Store):

1. A ’95 Grotti Cheetah with a retro-futuristic livery
2. Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers
3. Engraved personalised pistols: Jason’s Girardi ES9 and Lucia’s Klose K17
4. Vice City-style outfits and tattoos
5. Jason’s safehouse vehicles: a Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest Kayak
6. A retro-modded Vapid Ganado
7. A Shitzu Squalo boat with an explosives-laden weapons crate
8. A ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with Paradise Garage in Watson Bay
9. Macca the Gator-inspired apparel
10. A raid on the PTT Youngin$ compound
11. A classic car collection from collector Wyman
12. Five exclusive destinations: Rideout Customs, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo and One-Eyed Willie’s

Reported Rockstar’s June announcement counted the same contents as 16 items and added detail. Electric Fang Tattoo has 50+ tattoos designed by FAILE, Stock 305 is a clothing store, and Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s are mod shops. There’s also a “Goodtime Gear” apparel capsule. The items unlock as you progress through the story. (Gematsu)

Confirmed Xbox Wire sums it up as exclusive vehicles, weapons, outfits and special destinations such as Rideout Customs and Electric Fang Tattoo. (Xbox Wire)

The $20 upgrade path

If you’re unsure, buying Standard now doesn’t lock you out of Ultimate.

• Confirmed Xbox: the Ultimate Edition Upgrade is sold separately for $20.00 (€20.00 in France). (Xbox Store US, Xbox Store FR)
• Confirmed PlayStation: the upgrade has its own store page, but it showed as unavailable with no price in the US, UK, NZ and Australia on 14 November. Upgrades are sold only through the PlayStation Store, including for physical Standard owners. (PS Store, PlayStation Support)

We don’t know yet whether the PlayStation upgrade will go live at launch, or at what price. Matching Xbox’s $20 would make Standard plus upgrade cost the same as Ultimate, but nothing official says it will.

Confirmed One catch: the Ultimate Edition Upgrade doesn’t count toward the one-month GTA+ pre-order offer. (PS Store UK)

Physical vs digital: Ultimate is digital-only

Confirmed The only physical version is Standard, and it’s a code in a box. “A disc will not be included in the box.” If you want Ultimate, you’re buying digital, either outright or as an upgrade. (PlayStation Support)

Reported Rockstar confirmed there’s no disc at launch. The Hollywood Reporter, via VGC, says there are no current plans to print discs later either. (VGC, VGC)

Don’t confuse Ultimate with The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection. Reported It’s a $399.99 merchandise box on the Rockstar Store, and it doesn’t include the game. (TechPowerUp)

Is the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition worth it?

Here’s what we can honestly say before launch:

• You get the same game either way. Ultimate adds no extra story. The Ultimate items are, in Rockstar’s words, “threaded across” Jason and Lucia’s story, and Gematsu reports that they unlock as you progress.
• Nobody independent has tested the items yet. We can’t tell you whether a ’95 Cheetah beats what you’ll find on the streets, or whether the mod shops sell anything you can’t get elsewhere. Anyone who claims to know is guessing.
• It’s mostly convenience and cosmetics. Outfits, tattoos, liveries, a garage and early access to certain vehicles and weapons. If collecting cars and dressing up your characters is half the fun for you, the extra $20 is reasonable. If you care mainly about the story, it isn’t essential.
• Waiting costs you nothing on Xbox. The upgrade is $20 later, the same gap as now. On PlayStation the upgrade price isn’t known yet, so if you’re sure you want Ultimate on PS5, buying it outright is the safer choice.

Our verdict: buy Standard, physical or digital, unless you already know you want the extras. Once players can actually see the items in the game, we’ll update this page with an in-game look at what Ultimate adds.
