Pre-orders open at $79.99
Two tiers, no Deluxe, no disc, and a pre-load window unusually generous even by Rockstar's standards. Here is exactly what each edition contains and what the bonus is actually worth.
Short answer
How much does GTA 6 cost and what do you get?
$79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. There is no Deluxe tier. Every pre-order includes the Vintage Vice City Pack; digital pre-orders also get one free month of GTA+. The boxed “physical” edition contains a download code, not a disc. Digital pre-orders can pre-load from 12 November 2026, a week before the 19 November launch.
The two editions
| Standard — $79.99 | Ultimate — $99.99 | |

| Base game | Yes | Yes |
| Vintage Vice City Pack (pre-order) | Yes | Yes |
| Free month of GTA+ (digital pre-order) | Yes | Yes |
| Exclusive vehicles | — | Five |

| Single-player-only shops | — | Six |
The $20 gap buys cosmetics, one commission mission and access to six shops that only exist for Ultimate owners. None of it is content you need. Full edition breakdown →
What the pre-order bonus actually is
The Vintage Vice City Pack contains a '55 Vapid Stanier with a Shore Court garage to keep it in, retro 1980s outfits for both protagonists, and a tropical weapon pattern Rockstar describes as inspired by Tommy Vercetti.
Nothing in the bonus has an announced expiry
OfficialRockstar has not said the Vintage Vice City Pack is time-limited, and pre-load opens for every digital buyer regardless of when they bought. There is no access advantage to pre-ordering early. Buy it because you want the '55 Stanier, not because you are worried about missing out.
There is no disc
The boxed edition is a download code
The physical Standard Edition is a box containing a code. There is no disc-based release of GTA 6 on either platform, which means no resale, no lending, and no installing from the box. If that matters to you, it is worth knowing before November.
Rockstar has not published an install size. A pre-load window opening a full week early — unusually generous even by Rockstar's standards — is the clearest available signal that the download is very large. Pre-load and unlock details →
