GTA 6 Price and Editions
GTA 6 has two main digital editions in the United States: the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition. A separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade is also available for Standard Edition owners.
| Edition | US Price | Main Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | Complete GTA 6 single-player game |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | Complete game and Ultimate Edition Upgrade content |
| Ultimate Edition Upgrade | $20.00 | Adds Ultimate Edition content to the Standard Edition |
The GTA 6 Standard Edition costs $79.99 in the United States, while the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Standard Edition owners can purchase the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately for $20.
Prices may vary depending on the country, platform storefront, local currency and applicable taxes. Players should check the store connected to their own PlayStation or Xbox account instead of relying on converted US prices.
What Is Included in the GTA 6 Standard Edition?
The GTA 6 Standard Edition includes the complete Grand Theft Auto VI single-player experience.
Players who purchase the game before November 20, 2026, also receive the Vintage Vice City Pack. Eligible digital pre-orders additionally include one month of GTA+, subject to regional availability and platform subscription terms.
Who Should Buy the Standard Edition?
The Standard Edition is the better choice for players who:
- Mainly want to experience the complete GTA 6 story.
- Do not care about additional cosmetic items or premium vehicles.
- Prefer to decide on the Ultimate Edition Upgrade later.
- Want the lowest official entry price.
Because the Ultimate Edition Upgrade is sold separately, purchasing the Standard Edition does not permanently prevent players from accessing the premium content later.
What Is Included in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
The GTA 6 Ultimate Edition contains the complete base game and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade.
Its additional content is distributed throughout Jason and Lucia’s story rather than delivered as a single early-game bundle. The listed bonuses include premium vehicles, weapons, customization options, businesses and other story-related unlocks.
Confirmed GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Content
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers
- Personalized Weapon Variants
- Vice City Styles
- Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles
- Ganado Retro Build
- Rideout Customs Mod Shop
- Sara’s Unisex Salon
- Shitzu Squalo
- Stock 305 Clothing Store
- ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage
- Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor
- One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop
- Goodtime Gear
- PTT Youngin$ Compound
- Classic Car Collection
The Ultimate Edition is best suited to dedicated players who already know they want the additional vehicles, weapons, businesses and customization content.
Players who are only interested in the main story do not need the Ultimate Edition to access the complete base game.
GTA 6 Pre-Order Bonuses
Eligible GTA 6 purchases made before November 20, 2026, include the Vintage Vice City Pack.
Vintage Vice City Pack Contents
- ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage
- Exclusive outfits and hairstyles
- Exclusive weapon pattern
The Vintage Vice City Pack is included with eligible Standard and Ultimate Edition purchases, including physical Standard Edition pre-orders.
One Month of GTA+
Eligible digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+.
This GTA+ offer is separate from the Vintage Vice City Pack and is not listed as part of the physical Standard Edition package. Availability, redemption deadlines and renewal terms may vary by platform and region.
On PlayStation, the GTA+ subscription may continue as a paid subscription unless it is canceled before the next billing date. Players should review the subscription information displayed during redemption instead of treating the bonus as a permanently free membership.
GTA 6 Digital vs Physical Version
GTA 6 is available in digital and physical formats, but the physical release works differently from a traditional boxed game.
GTA 6 Digital Version
Digital buyers receive:
- The Standard or Ultimate Edition.
- The Vintage Vice City Pack with an eligible purchase.
- One month of GTA+ with an eligible digital pre-order.
- Pre-loading from November 12, 2026.
- Immediate access once the game officially unlocks.
The digital version is the most convenient option for players who want to install GTA 6 in advance and begin playing as soon as the game becomes available.
GTA 6 Physical Version
The physical GTA 6 box does not contain a game disc. Instead, the box includes a digital download code.
Physical copies are expected to become available for shipping or retailer pickup on November 12, allowing buyers to redeem the code and pre-load the game before launch.
Only the Standard Edition is being offered as a physical product. A physical Ultimate Edition is not available, although physical Standard Edition owners can purchase the digital Ultimate Edition Upgrade after redeeming the game code.
Physical Edition Region Restrictions
Because the physical box contains a code rather than a disc, buyers should pay close attention to account-region compatibility.
PlayStation download codes have regional restrictions, while Xbox codes are stated to be region-free. PlayStation buyers should confirm that the code matches the region of their PlayStation Network account before purchasing.
What Platforms Is GTA 6 Coming To?
GTA 6 is officially scheduled for the following platforms:
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 5 Pro
- Xbox Series X
- Xbox Series S
The game is not being released for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. PlayStation also lists GTA 6 as a PS5 Pro Enhanced title.
There is currently no Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 version listed.
Is GTA 6 Coming to PC?
A GTA 6 PC version, PC release date, PC price and PC pre-order program have not been officially announced.
The current product and release information lists only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Any specific GTA 6 PC release window circulating online should therefore be treated as speculation rather than confirmed information.
PC players should not purchase a console download code expecting it to activate on a future PC version. Purchases and licenses are separate between platforms.

Should You Pre-Order GTA 6?
Pre-ordering GTA 6 makes sense for players who already know they will buy the game at launch and want the Vintage Vice City Pack or enough time to pre-load the game before release.
Why the Standard Edition Is Best for Most Players
The Standard Edition is likely the best choice for most players. It includes the complete game, costs $20 less than the Ultimate Edition and can be upgraded later.
Who Should Choose the Ultimate Edition?
The Ultimate Edition is more suitable for dedicated fans who value premium vehicles, weapons, businesses and customization content throughout the story.
When Should You Wait Before Buying?
Waiting may be the better choice if:
- You want to see performance reviews before purchasing.
- You are concerned about launch-day bugs or technical problems.
- You have not decided between the PS5 and Xbox versions.
- You only play games on PC.
- You do not care about the GTA 6 pre-order rewards.
- You prefer to wait for a future discount.
The pre-order pack does not affect access to the main story. Players do not need to buy the game early solely to receive the complete GTA 6 experience.
What Is GTA 6 About?
