How much does GTA 6 Ultimate Edition cost?

$99.99 in the United States, compared with $79.99 for Standard. The difference is $20.

Does the Ultimate Edition include the game?

Yes. The Ultimate Edition is the full game plus the Ultimate Edition content. The standalone Ultimate Upgrade exists for people who already bought Standard, but Rockstar has not published its price.

Is the Ultimate Edition worth it?

It depends on whether you care about cosmetic items. Everything exclusive to Ultimate is vehicles, weapons, tattoos, clothing and side activities. No story content, missions or map areas are locked behind it.

Does the Ultimate Edition include GTA Online content?

No. GTA 6 has no online mode at launch, so there is no online currency, Shark Card equivalent or multiplayer bonus in either edition.

GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: what you actually get

Last updated: 2026-11-12

GTA 6 ships in two editions: Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99. The $20 difference buys you no extra story, no extra missions and no extra map — everything Ultimate adds is a vehicle, a weapon skin, a piece of clothing, a tattoo set or a side activity. That makes this a straightforward decision, and this page exists so you can make it in one minute instead of reading a store description.

The short answer

Buy Standard if you want the game and could not care less about a pink speedboat or a vintage Cheetah. The campaign is identical. Nothing is gated.

Buy Ultimate if you know you will spend 100+ hours in Vice City, you like collecting vehicles, and $20 against a $79.99 purchase feels like a rounding error. That is the entire argument — there is no gameplay advantage either way.

Price by region

Region	Standard	Ultimate	Difference
United States	$79.99	$99.99	$20.00
Europe (Eurozone)	€79.99	€99.99	€20.00
Canada	C$109.99	C$139.99	C$30.00
Australia	A$159.95	A$159.95 + upgrade	varies
Hong Kong	HK$568	HK$708	HK$140

Rockstar has not published a price for the standalone Ultimate Upgrade — the add-on for people who already own Standard. Reports point to roughly $20, but that figure is not official. If you are unsure which edition to get, buying Standard first and upgrading later is the low-risk path, provided the upgrade is available in your region's store.

What is in the Ultimate Edition

Everything below is Ultimate-exclusive. None of it affects story progress, mission availability or map access.

What the pre-order bonus adds (either edition)

Separate from the Ultimate Edition, anyone who buys before November 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack:

'55 Vapid Stanier Sedan plus a garage to keep it in
Jason's vintage pink linen suit; Lucia's red sequin dress with a matching hairstyle
Tommy Vercetti-style tropical weapon livery
One month of GTA+ — digital purchases only

Physical buyers lose one item. The GTA+ month is attached to digital purchases. If you buy a boxed copy — which, since November 12, contains a download code rather than a disc — you get the vehicle, the outfits and the weapon livery, but not the subscription month. Everything else is the same.

The collector's box is not a game

There is also a physical collector's item, The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, priced at €399.99 and going on sale November 19. It contains merchandise and does not include the game. It is aimed at people who want the box on a shelf, and it is not an edition of GTA 6 in any practical sense. If your goal is to play on November 19, ignore it.

Three things neither edition includes

GTA Online. There is no online mode at launch, so no edition grants online currency, properties or multiplayer perks. Anyone advertising "Ultimate Edition online bonuses" is describing a different game.
A PC version. Both editions are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only on November 19.
Any story content. No mission, cutscene, ending or map region is locked behind the Ultimate Edition. This is worth stating plainly because store pages are written to imply otherwise.

If the deciding factor for you is storage rather than content, note that both editions need the same 212GB install. Buying Ultimate does not add download size.
