GTA 6 pre-order guide: Standard vs Ultimate Edition – Which should you buy?

After two years of delays, GTA 6 pre-orders finally begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight. But with a $20 gap between the Standard and Ultimate Editions, players now face an important question: Which version is actually worth buying?

Pre-ordering either edition rewards players with the Vintage Vice City Pack and a free month of GTA+. The Standard Edition costs $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition is priced at $99.99.

The Ultimate Edition comes with exclusive perks, including outfits, vehicles, guns, and vendors.

Here's a full list of all the GTA 6 Ultimate edition rewards:

  • ’95 Grotti Cheetah
  • Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers
  • Personalized Variants: Jason’s Girardi ES9 pistol and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistol
  • Vice City Style clothes, accessories, and tattoos
  • Dinka Enduro Motorcycle and Crest Kayak (Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles)
  • Vapid Ganado Retro Build
  • Rideout Customs Mod Shop
  • Sara’s Unisex Salon
  • Shitzu Squalo boat
  • Stock 305 Clothing Store
  • ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy plus Garage
  • Electric Fang Tattoo shop
  • One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop
  • Goodtime Gear
  • PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store
  • Classic Car Collection Special Commission

The most eye-catching part of the rewards is the list of vendors available in the Ultimate Edition. Players get access to a clothing store, a tattoo shop, and two vehicle modding stores.

That's not all. Players will also get exclusive apparel and the opportunity to obtain some classic cars.

So, if you want to pay an extra $20 for more customization options, you can go for the Ultimate Edition of the game. However, if you don't care about cosmetics, the upgrade can be skipped.

GTA 6 is almost $10 more expensive than most modern AAA games. The Standard Edition comes at a price of nearly $80. That's already enough of a commitment for many gamers.

Key details about GTA 6 you should know

For those unfamiliar, GTA 6 is not slated for a PC release at launch. A port may be announced at a later date, just like most of the modern GTA games.

Historically, a PC port generally arrives a year or so later.

Apart from that, fans should also know that GTA 6 will not have a physical disk version. If you order a physical copy, you'll get a download code in the box instead.

After pre-ordering the game, you'll be able to pre-load it on November 12, 2026. However, this doesn't mean you can play it earlier than anyone else.

Interestingly, Rockstar Games described the game as “a single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet.”

There is no mention of a multiplayer experience. Therefore, we may still be far from the addition of GTA 6 Online. More information is awaited from the developer.
