Rockstar Games has confirmed GTA 6 pre-order details. The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition $99.99, with pre-orders opening at midnight local time on June 25. Here’s everything included in each edition, from the Vintage Vice City Pack bonus to the full Ultimate Edition content list.
Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will cost $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders open at midnight local time on June 25, 2026, and the game launches on November 19, 2026. The pricing pushes $10 above the current $70 AAA standard, a move that industry analysts had been anticipating for months.
When Do GTA 6 Pre-Orders Go Live?
Pre-orders for GTA 6 begin at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. This means the exact moment varies by region: midnight BST in the UK, midnight CEST across most of Europe, midnight EST/PST in North America, and so on. Both digital storefronts (PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store) and select physical retailers will begin accepting orders simultaneously.
Players can already add the game to their wishlists on both PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store to receive instant notifications when pre-orders go live.
GTA 6 Pricing Breakdown by Edition
| Edition | Price (USD) | Price (GBP) | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | ~£60 | Digital & Physical |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | ~£76 | Digital & Physical |
European pricing has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar at the time of writing, though earlier retailer listings in Europe showed figures around €89.99 for the Standard Edition. Regional prices will be finalised once pre-orders go live on digital storefronts. GTA 6 marks one of the highest launch prices for a console game, sitting above even the $70 price point adopted by most major releases since 2023.
What’s in the GTA 6 Standard Edition?
The Standard Edition at $79.99 includes the full base game and the pre-order bonus (Vintage Vice City Pack, detailed below). Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 launches as a single-player experience focused on Jason and Lucia’s story. No details about a new GTA Online mode were shared; the studio only referenced the existing GTA Online as continuing separately.
Both digital and physical versions of the Standard Edition are available. However, physical copies will not include a disc. Instead, the box will contain a download code. This is a significant departure from previous Rockstar launches and reflects the broader industry shift toward all-digital delivery.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: Full Content List
The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 and includes everything in the Standard Edition plus a substantial collection of exclusive content that unlocks chapter by chapter throughout Jason and Lucia’s story. According to Rockstar’s official press materials, here is the complete list:
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah: A mid-90s sports car with a minimalist retro-futuristic livery, available in later-stage gameplay
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers: His-and-hers revolvers sourced from the Vercetti Estate, featuring palm-tree-etched grips, engraved detailing, and a high-performance scope
- Personalized Weapon Variants: Custom-engraved versions of Jason’s Girardi ES9 pistol and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistol
- Vice City Styles: Exclusive outfits, tattoos, and accessories for both Jason and Lucia
- Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles: An Army fatigue-themed Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest Kayak
- Ganado Retro Build: Exclusive mod kit for Jason’s Vapid Ganado pickup, including a cab spoiler, rear aerials, and special livery
- ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy & Paradise Garage: A rugged off-road buggy stored in a Watson Bay garage with a weapon locker and stolen goods stash box
- Shitzu Squalo: A gradient pink and blue powerboat docked at Washington Beach, fitted with an explosives-laden weapons crate
- Classic Car Collection: A special commission from collector Wyman to track down abandoned classic cars and restore them (4 vehicles are Ultimate Edition exclusives)
- Rideout Customs (Mod Shop): Vice City vehicle customization shop with donk stylings, detailed interiors, and exquisite rims
- One-Eyed Willie’s (Mod Shop): Off-road vehicle customization in Lake Leonida with hand-painted masterpiece options
- Stock 305 Clothing Store: Premium streetwear destination in Stockyard with unique looks for Jason and Lucia
- Sara’s Unisex Salon: Signature hair styles, facial hair for Jason, and makeup and nails for Lucia
- Electric Fang Tattoo: Over 50 exclusive tattoos designed by the artist collective FAILE
- Goodtime Gear: Apparel and accessories inspired by Macca the Gator, a hit TV show character in the game world
- PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store: A raid mission at a gang compound in Southside Vice City to score contraband and special items
Notably, several of these items are not simply cosmetic additions. Entire shops, mod garages, a tattoo parlour, and a clothing store are locked behind the Ultimate Edition, meaning Standard Edition players will not have access to these in-game locations. Rockstar has confirmed that the Ultimate Edition upgrade will also be available for purchase separately for Standard Edition owners.
Pre-Order Bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack
All players who pre-order GTA 6 or purchase it before November 20, 2026, regardless of edition, will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack. This bonus is a direct homage to 2002’s GTA: Vice City:
- ’55 Vapid Stanier & Shore Court Garage: A classic 1955 sedan with a personal garage near Ocean Beach, complete with a weapon locker and a fence for selling stolen goods
- Exclusive Outfits & Hairstyles: A pastel linen suit with a period-accurate hairstyle for Jason; a red sequined mini dress with curls for Lucia
- Weapon Pattern: A tropical palm-tree motif inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s iconic Hawaiian shirt
For physical edition pre-orders, the Vintage Vice City Pack is available while stocks last. Digital pre-orders on PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store additionally include one free month of GTA+, Rockstar’s subscription service that provides GTA$500,000 monthly, vehicle discounts, a 15% bonus on Shark Cards, and access to a library of classic Rockstar titles.
Preload Dates and Physical Copy Details
Digital pre-order customers can begin preloading GTA 6 on November 12, 2026, exactly one week before the November 19 launch. This ensures the game is fully installed and ready to play the moment it unlocks.
Physical copies will also ship starting November 12. Since these boxes contain a download code rather than a disc, physical copy buyers can also preload the game during this window. The absence of a disc has sparked significant debate among players, but Rockstar and Take-Two clearly view this as the future of physical game distribution.
Where to Pre-Order GTA 6
GTA 6 will be available to pre-order through these channels:
- PlayStation Store: Direct digital pre-order on PS5
- Microsoft Store: Direct digital pre-order on Xbox Series X|S
- Rockstar Games Store: Digital code delivery for both platforms
- Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Target (US): Physical and digital editions
- Amazon UK, GAME, Argos, Currys, Very (UK): Physical editions
- MediaMarkt, Fnac, Amazon (Europe): Physical editions in select regions
At launch, GTA 6 is available only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC version, no Nintendo Switch port, and no last-gen support.
Is the Ultimate Edition Worth the Extra $20?
The $20 premium unlocks a substantial amount of content: exclusive vehicles, revolvers with unique engravings, four Classic Car Collection exclusives, access to multiple in-game shops and mod garages that Standard Edition players cannot enter, and over 50 unique tattoo designs. For players who plan to fully explore Leonida and want the richest possible single-player experience, the Ultimate Edition offers genuine gameplay depth rather than just cosmetic extras.
If you are primarily interested in the story and are not concerned about accessing every shop and modkit, the Standard Edition still delivers the complete narrative experience with the Vintage Vice City Pack bonus included.
Things Worth Knowing Before You Order
Will GTA 6 come to PC?
Not at launch. Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Based on historical patterns with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, a PC release typically follows 1-2 years after the console launch.
Do physical copies include a disc?
No. Every physical copy of GTA 6 will contain a download code inside the box instead of a game disc. Both physical and digital buyers can preload from November 12.
Can I get the Vintage Vice City Pack without pre-ordering?
Yes. The pack is included with any purchase made before November 20, 2026. You do not need to pre-order specifically; buying the game within the first day of launch will also qualify. After November 20, the bonus will no longer be available.
Is there early access with the Ultimate Edition?
Rockstar has not announced early access for any edition. Both Standard and Ultimate Edition owners will be able to play starting November 19. The November 12 preload window is strictly for downloading the game in advance, not for playing early.
Will GTA Online launch alongside GTA 6?
Rockstar has described GTA 6 as a “single-player experience” at launch. No new version of GTA Online was announced alongside the pre-order details. The existing GTA Online on GTA 5 continues to operate independently.
