GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: all 16 benefits, prices and Standard differences
A nineties sports car, revolvers with a Vercetti connection, specialist shops and a commission to recover classic cars: GTA VI Ultimate Edition spreads its extras across different parts of Jason and Lucia’s lives. Choosing an edition means working out which of those additions you will actually enjoy and what you are paying for them.
Ultimate bundles the base game with sixteen additional benefits woven into the story. Standard lets you start with the game and buy the upgrade later. This guide examines every extra through its official photographs, compares verified prices and separates Ultimate content from the pre-order incentives also available with eligible Standard purchases.
What to know before choosing an edition
- 16 Ultimate benefits
- Vehicles, weapons, customization, locations and activities connected to the story.
- US$20 difference
- Between the complete digital editions on the US PlayStation Store when checked.
- Separate upgrade
- Start with Standard and add Ultimate Edition Upgrade later if you choose.
Standard vs. Ultimate: what actually changes
Both editions include Grand Theft Auto VI. Ultimate adds the sixteen-benefit package. Promotional purchase and pre-order incentives have their own eligibility rules and should be kept separate from Ultimate’s exclusive content.
| Content or condition | Standard Edition | Ultimate Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto VI base game | Included | Included |
| The 16 benefits detailed in this guide | Through a paid upgrade | Included |
| Ultimate content unlocks | After buying the upgrade and meeting progression requirements | Tied to story progression |
| Vintage Vice City Pack | With an eligible purchase or pre-order | With an eligible purchase or pre-order |
| Promotional month of GTA+ | With an eligible digital purchase and offer conditions | With an eligible digital purchase and offer conditions |
| Digital format | Yes | Yes |
| Physical box with download code | Yes; no disc | No standalone physical version announced |
| Later upgrade | Ultimate Edition Upgrade sold separately | Ultimate package already included |
These extras are advertised for Jason and Lucia’s story. Buying Ultimate does not mean everything is available in the opening scene, and the promotional GTA+ month is not a permanent subscription.
Verified official prices and the edition premium
The following are prices for the complete digital editions on the official storefronts checked. Region and currency are essential context: the Spanish price is not a quote for every euro-region store, and the US price does not apply to every country using dollars.
| Store and region | Standard | Ultimate | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| PlayStation Store · United States | US$79.99 | US$99.99 | US$20.00 |
| PlayStation Store · Spain | €79.99 | €99.99 | €20.00 |
The US$20 gap between complete editions does not establish the separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade price. The upgrade listing checked did not show a purchasable amount, so none is quoted here. For Xbox Series X|S, check your regional Microsoft Store; prices verified on PlayStation are not automatically Xbox prices.

Benefit 01 / 16
1. ’95 Grotti Cheetah
Grotti’s mid-nineties sports car wears an exclusive minimalist livery with a retro-futuristic character. Rockstar connects it to Shore Drive and places its availability later in the adventure, making this one of the few bonuses with a broad indication of when to expect it.
The photographs show the white bodywork, graphic detailing and red cabin. That distinctive presentation is the immediate draw. The official description does not provide speed figures or establish how this version performs against other sports cars.
Benefit 02 / 16
2. Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers
Jason and Lucia receive their own versions of these revolvers, sourced from the Vercetti Estate. Palm-tree engravings on the grips and decorative metalwork combine classic Vice City styling with a high-performance scope.
This bonus pairs a series reference with a specific weapon for the two protagonists. It is a separate inclusion from the personalized pistols below, so the revolvers and the sidearm variants account for two distinct entries in the sixteen-benefit package.
Benefit 03 / 16
3. Personalized Weapon Variants
Two pistols tied to the protagonists receive personalized finishes: Jason’s Girardi ES9 and Lucia’s Klose K17. Rockstar highlights detailed engravings that give each sidearm its own appearance.
The official photograph places the pistols together, making their different designs easy to compare. The description does not announce a damage or accuracy increase. When weighing the edition, the confirmed selling point here is the individual treatment of these two weapons.
Benefit 04 / 16
4. Vice City Style
This selection brings exclusive outfits, tattoos and other appearance options for Jason and Lucia. The five photographs showcase both characters in open shirts, patterned clothing and accessories that suit Vice City’s coastal setting.
It is a natural point of interest if changing the protagonists’ look is part of how you enjoy a story. This collection is separate from the Vintage Vice City pre-order pack, and also from the Stock 305 clothing and tattoo-parlor benefits covered below.
Benefit 05 / 16
5. Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles
Rockstar’s description names an army-green Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest Kayak. They offer two very different ways to get around, grouped around Jason’s safehouse and shown individually in the accompanying images.
The overview photograph also includes the Ganado outside the property, but its retro modification kit is the next benefit. Keeping those entries separate makes the package easier to understand without counting the same customization twice.
Benefit 06 / 16
6. Ganado Retro Build
Jason’s Vapid Ganado receives exclusive modifications with a retro direction. Rockstar frames the bonus around his low-riding pickup; the official image shows it in yellow with a red stripe along the side.
The appeal lies in giving a protagonist’s familiar vehicle a different character. The description does not provide a full parts catalogue or in-game prices, so the photograph is a reference for the demonstrated appearance rather than evidence of an unannounced upgrade list.
Benefit 07 / 16
7. Rideout Customs Mod Shop
Rideout Customs focuses on conspicuous vehicle customization: detailed interiors, elaborate rims and donk styling. The gold car in the photographs, with its oversized wheels, makes the shop’s visual direction particularly clear.
Its inclusion adds a specific location devoted to modifying vehicles. This entry does not establish that every mod shop in the game requires Ultimate, and it does not by itself confirm that every modification at Rideout will be free.
Benefit 08 / 16
8. Sara’s Unisex Salon
Sara’s provides styles for both protagonists, including facial hair for Jason and makeup and nails for Lucia. Rockstar explicitly says this establishment is open for business only with Ultimate Edition.
The photographs move from the salon entrance to Jason’s haircut and Lucia’s manicure. This bonus takes appearance customization beyond clothing. The exclusivity statement concerns this named salon and its services, without describing the complete selection of salons elsewhere in the game.
Benefit 09 / 16
9. Shitzu Squalo
The Squalo adds a boat to the bonus collection. Rockstar places it at Washington Beach and highlights its pink-to-blue gradient finish, together with a weapons crate containing explosives for trips into open water.
The description also connects it to fishing in Gambit Bay. Four photographs show night-time travel, side views, the protagonists on deck and a pursuit. These are official scenes featuring the content, without a further confirmed list of associated missions, capabilities or rewards.
Benefit 10 / 16
10. Stock 305 Clothing Store
Stock 305 is a Stockyard shop focused on streetwear and exclusive looks for Jason and Lucia. The official description states that this store is open for business only with Ultimate Edition.
Its gallery shows the exterior and interior, alongside both protagonists at the location. Rather than simply naming an outfit bundle, this benefit is presented through a particular shop. Rockstar’s description does not supply a garment count or individual in-game prices.
Benefit 11 / 16
11. ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage
The Dominator Buggy is built around off-road driving in Mount Kalaga and other backwoods environments. The package includes Paradise Garage in Watson Bay as a place to store it.
Rockstar gives the garage two further functions: a weapon locker and secure storage for stolen goods intended for fencing. This benefit therefore combines a vehicle with a practical location. The photographs show muddy trails, the dashboard and the buggy leaving the garage.
Benefit 12 / 16
12. Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor
Located in Stockyard, Electric Fang offers more than 50 tattoos for Jason and Lucia, designed by the artist collective FAILE. Rockstar states that the parlor operates only with Ultimate Edition.
This is one of the bonuses with an explicit content quantity. Four photographs show the neon sign, the premises and sessions involving the protagonists. The announced figure refers to the collection for both characters; the source does not break it down into a separate total for each protagonist.
Benefit 13 / 16
13. One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop
This Lake Leonida workshop specializes in off-road modifications and hand-painted automotive finishes. That focus gives it a different identity from Rideout Customs’ more extravagant builds. Rockstar explicitly confirms it is open only with Ultimate Edition.
The three photographs concentrate on a green vehicle and work inside the shop. This bonus is particularly relevant to off-road customization, although the description does not publish a compatible-vehicle list or numerical upgrade values.
Benefit 14 / 16
14. Goodtime Gear
Goodtime Gear is a capsule collection of apparel and accessories inspired by Macca the Gator, a character from a popular television show within the game’s setting.
The official photograph shows Jason and Lucia wearing the character’s clothing and hats. This is a themed collection within Ultimate, separate from Stock 305’s streetwear and the pre-order pack’s outfits. Its particular appeal is the connection to the fictional state’s television culture rather than an announced gameplay boost.
Benefit 15 / 16
15. PTT Youngin$ Compound
This benefit involves raiding the compound of the PTT Youngin$, a gang in Southside Vice City. Rockstar describes a specific objective: enter the compound, obtain special items and distinctive contraband, and escape safely.
It adds an activity to a collection otherwise rich in vehicles, weapons and customization. The photograph shows gang members outside their premises. The source does not identify every reward or say whether the raid can be repeated, leaving those practical details open.
Benefit 16 / 16
16. Classic Car Collection
Wyman, an eccentric collector and local fixer, commissions a search for abandoned classics and unfinished project cars to restore to their former condition. The bonus brings vehicle hunting and restoration together around a named character.
The gallery contains one photograph of Wyman and five of different cars. Six photographs do not establish six included vehicles: Rockstar describes a variety of cars without specifying the commission’s total here. For collectors, this is one of the more interesting inclusions to revisit once its full requirements are known.
Pre-order bonuses: shared incentives with separate terms
The Vintage Vice City Pack and promotional month of GTA+ are purchase or pre-order incentives. They are separate from Ultimate’s sixteen benefits and also appear in eligible Standard offers.
Vintage Vice City Pack
The pack includes a ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan and a garage beside Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and an exclusive weapon pattern. Its retro collection is distinct from Ultimate’s Vice City Style benefit.
Rockstar Support includes it with digital purchases of either edition before November 20, 2026, and with physical code-in-box pre-orders. Rockstar Store advertises the same promotional purchase cutoff and notes that supplies are limited.
One month of GTA+ with eligible digital purchases
The GTA+ month is a redeemable subscription promotion. PlayStation Store’s offer applies to the complete digital game, is limited to one redemption per account and excludes the standalone Ultimate Edition Upgrade. Membership renews at the regular monthly price after the promotional month unless canceled.
The PlayStation listing requires redemption by March 31, 2027. Rockstar Support describes the purchase cutoff as before November 20; the Spanish storefront wording says before November 19. With that difference in wording, check the terms for your specific store and avoid relying on the final day. Rockstar Support’s physical pre-order contents do not list the GTA+ month.
When the extras unlock and what is confirmed
Rockstar places the bonuses throughout Jason and Lucia’s story, with further items revealed across its chapters. Buying the package grants entitlement, while progression remains relevant. The ’95 Cheetah is a particularly clear example: its own description places it later in the adventure.
Some benefits explicitly involve an activity. The PTT Youngin$ compound raid requires a safe escape to obtain its items, while Wyman’s commission involves finding and restoring cars. A complete chapter-by-chapter or mission-by-mission requirement table has not been published for all sixteen benefits.
There is also no confirmation that every shop item is free or that engraved weapons have stronger statistics. Once the game arrives, the practical requirements for each unlock will be the most useful information to add to this guide.
How to upgrade from Standard to Ultimate
Rockstar confirms Ultimate Edition Upgrade as a digital add-on for Standard owners. This lets you defer the decision about the extras without purchasing the complete game again.
- Check that you own Standard Edition on the platform and account you intend to use. Access through another person’s shared console does not automatically establish that your own account meets the add-on’s purchase conditions.
- For a boxed copy, redeem the Standard download code on the correct account first. A box pre-order awaiting delivery is not the same as an activated digital license.
- Open the official GTA VI listing on PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store and locate the add-on named Ultimate Edition Upgrade. Distinguish it from the complete Ultimate bundle, which includes the base game again.
- Review platform, account, compatibility, total price and contents before purchasing. Do not assume the add-on costs US$20 or €20: those amounts are only the verified differences between the complete editions.
- After purchase, check that the store recognizes the add-on on your account and follow the console’s installation or content-management instructions. No verified in-game GTA VI menu path is available for us to specify here.
- Once the game unlocks, progress through the story. Rockstar distributes extras across chapters and activities, so not receiving every benefit in the opening scene does not independently establish a purchase problem.
The announced physical version contains a download code and no disc. Rockstar Support does not list a standalone Ultimate box; the upgrade remains digital. Buying the add-on also does not constitute a new full-game pre-order for the GTA+ promotion.
If the upgrade is missing or cannot be purchased
First distinguish the add-on from the complete edition and check whether you already own Ultimate. The public PlayStation add-on listing checked did not show a purchasable price, so a particular button cannot be promised for every account. Rockstar Support does confirm the separate purchase route.
If Standard came from a box, verify that redemption finished and that the game appears in that same account’s library. On PlayStation, also check the code’s regional group; changing regions is not a substitute for resolving an incompatible code.
If the add-on is already marked as purchased, keep the receipt and distinguish a license problem from content that requires story progress. Record any error message and consult the storefront’s support before paying again. A complete chapter or mission requirement table for every benefit has not been verified.
The reviewed documentation does not detail a save-migration process or a shared PlayStation-and-Xbox license. This guide neither promises cross-platform transfers nor instructs players to restart without official guidance. The upgrade adds Ultimate content to Standard; it does not change the release time or announce an exclusive graphics mode.
Platforms, release and pre-load
The confirmed platforms for these editions are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar’s announced release date is November 19, 2026.
According to Rockstar Support, digital pre-load begins on November 10, 2026: at local midnight on PS5 and globally at 00:00 GMT on Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading prepares the download; it is not an Ultimate-only early-access benefit.
Physical code-in-box shipping and collection are expected from November 12, depending on the retailer. Codes can be redeemed when received. Purchase in a region compatible with your platform account: Rockstar documents regional restrictions for PlayStation codes.
Frequently asked questions
How many exclusive benefits does Ultimate Edition have?
The Ultimate package lists 16 benefits. The base game, Vintage Vice City Pack and promotional GTA+ month are presented separately. The latter two are also available with eligible Standard purchases under the relevant offer terms.
Can I buy Standard now and upgrade later?
Yes. Rockstar confirms a separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade through the PlayStation and Microsoft storefronts. Code-in-box owners must redeem the base game code first. Check the upgrade’s own price; it cannot be established simply by subtracting the full-edition prices.
Are all 16 benefits available immediately?
That should not be assumed. Rockstar distributes bonuses across story chapters, and some involve specified activities or progression. A complete unlock schedule for every benefit has not been published.
Does Ultimate let me play before Standard owners?
Ultimate-exclusive early access to the game has not been announced. Standard also advertises pre-load, which allows the files to be downloaded before the game unlocks.
Does the physical edition include a disc?
No. Rockstar describes a physical box containing a download code. There is no standalone Ultimate box announced; code-in-box Standard can be expanded with the digital upgrade.
Do all shops and vehicle workshops require Ultimate?
The edition page identifies specific locations as package benefits. This does not establish that all vehicle customization, clothing or tattoos in the base game require Ultimate. This guide covers only the named locations and content announced for the package.
Does Ultimate include permanent GTA+ or future expansions?
No permanent subscription is announced. The offer checked provides one promotional month of GTA+, with automatic renewal unless canceled. The Ultimate name should not be taken as a promise of unannounced future expansions.
Is GTA VI Ultimate Edition worth it?
Ultimate is more appealing if you want its two announced activities—the PTT Youngin$ raid and Wyman’s commission—and enjoy customizing the protagonists and their vehicles. The buggy and garage, specialist locations and tattoo collection provide specific reasons to consider the package beyond its headline bonus count.
If your priority is to begin the story and make a decision with hands-on experience, Standard lets you do that while keeping the upgrade option open. The pre-order pack alone is not a reason to pay for Ultimate, because eligible Standard purchases receive it too.
Our editorial recommendation is to weigh those particular extras against the verified US$20 premium between complete editions on the US store. Choose according to content you expect to use and its access conditions. A separate upgrade makes it easier to leave that decision until you have more information.
