There is no Deluxe edition
OfficialDespite widespread early reporting of a three-tier structure, Rockstar published only two: Standard and Ultimate. If you see a “Deluxe Edition” listed anywhere, it does not exist.
The Vintage Vice City Pack
Included with all pre-orders, and with the Ultimate Edition regardless.
- '55 Vapid Stanier sedan, with a Shore Court garage to keep it in Official
- Retro '80s outfits for both Jason and Lucia Official
- A tropical weapon pattern inspired by Tommy Vercetti Official
GTA+
Digital pre-orders also receive one free month of GTA+, which adds $500,000 to your bank balance and grants access to a selection of classic Rockstar titles through the GTA+ Games Library Official.
What the Ultimate Edition adds
Vehicles
| Vehicle | Type |
|---|---|
| '95 Grotti Cheetah | Supercar |

The Wyman commission
A special commission mission — Wyman's Classic Car Collection — given by Wyman, an eccentric mechanic and car collector who runs Wyman's World Auto Salvage Co. He exists only for Ultimate Edition players Official.
Six exclusive shops
| Shop | Type |
|---|---|
| Rideout Customs | Vehicle customisation |
| One-Eyed Willie's | Mod shop |
| Sara's Unisex Salon | Hair, makeup and nails |
| Stock 305 | Clothing |
| Electric Fang Tattoo | Tattoos |
| PTT Youngin$ Compound | — |
Sara's includes signature salon styles for both protagonists — facial hair for Jason, makeup and nails for Lucia.
These are single-player shops
Unusually for a premium edition, the six exclusive stores are single-player content rather than online-only unlocks. That makes the Ultimate Edition a genuine content difference in the campaign, not just a cosmetic bundle.
Dates and formats
Pre-orders opened
Both editions went live with full contents published.
Pre-load begins
Digital pre-orders can start downloading a full week before launch.
Release
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Physical vs digital
The boxed “physical” Standard Edition contains a download code, not a disc Official. The Ultimate Edition is digital only. Standard owners can buy the Ultimate upgrade separately at any time.
Is the upgrade worth $20?
An honest read, since this is the question the page exists to answer.
Buy Ultimate if
- You care about the six exclusive shops — they are the only genuinely content-shaped item in the bundle, and two of them are mod shops in a game where vehicles matter
- You want the classic vehicles from the start rather than earning equivalents
- You expect to spend serious time on appearance, given the tattoo and salon content
Stick with Standard if
- You would rather find vehicles in the world than be handed them — in a game where stealing cars is a whole system, being given five for free arguably undercuts it
- Cosmetics do not interest you
- You want the option to upgrade later, once you know how much you are playing — which Rockstar explicitly allows
