The two editions
Rockstar is launching GTA 6 in two editions. Here's the confirmed split:
Standard Edition
$79.99
- The full base game
- PS5 / PS5 Pro / Xbox Series X|S
- Digital download at launch
Ultimate Edition
$99.99
- Everything in Standard
- Exclusive premium vehicles, weapons & apparel
- Bonus content threaded across the story & online
- Pre-order bonus included
Collector's (not announced)
—
- No physical collector's edition announced
- Game is digital-only at launch
- We'll update if one appears
The $20 question — is Ultimate worth it? The extra $20 buys exclusive vehicles, weapons and apparel plus the pre-order bonus. If you'll play GTA Online heavily, the in-game perks add up fast. If you just want the story, Standard at $79.99 is all you need.
Should you pre-order now?
- If you know you're buying: pre-ordering now locks a launch-night copy and lets you pre-load the digital download ahead of November 19.
- Standard vs. Ultimate: grab Ultimate if you want the exclusive vehicles/weapons and play online a lot; otherwise Standard covers the full game.
- Save either way: see our pre-order guide for the discounted-store-credit trick to cut the effective digital price.
