Rockstar has revealed the official Standard and Ultimate editions [1] for Grand Theft Auto VI, and this complete GTA 6 editions and pre-order guide has all the details. We’ll walk you through the pre-order bonuses, like the Vintage Vice City Pack [2], and everything else you need to know for the game’s launch on November 19, 2026 [3] for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S [1].
Which GTA 6 editions have been officially detailed?
Rockstar has officially announced two main versions for players: the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition [1]. If you pick up the base game and want more later, an Ultimate Edition Upgrade will also be available for purchase separately [1].
The Standard Edition is exactly what it sounds like, containing the base Grand Theft Auto VI game [1].
The Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with a huge collection of digital content, including vehicles, weapons, businesses, and cosmetics [1]. Here’s what’s inside:
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah & ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers & Personalized Weapon Variants
- Vice City Styles, Goodtime Gear & Stock 305 Clothing Store
- Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles & Classic Car Collection
- Ganado Retro Build & Shitzu Squalo
- Rideout Customs Mod Shop, One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop & Sara’s Unisex Salon
- Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor & PTT Youngin$ Compound
While these editions cover your purchase options, our complete guide to GTA 6 everything we know explores the game’s story and setting in more detail. Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S [3][1].
What does each confirmed edition include?
Rockstar is offering two ways to begin your journey in Leonida. The Standard Edition gives you the complete Grand Theft Auto VI base game [1], which Rockstar currently describes as a single-player experience [2]. If you’re ready to lock in your copy, you can find the Grand Theft Auto VI product page right here on K4G.
For players who want to kickstart their criminal enterprise with a full garage and more, the Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with a massive collection of in-game content [1]. This package comes loaded with vehicles like the ’95 Grotti Cheetah, a ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with its own garage, the Shitzu Squalo, and entire collections for Jason’s safehouse and classic cars. You’ll also get the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers and personalized weapon variants.
On the business front, you’ll gain access to several establishments, including the Rideout Customs Mod Shop and Sara’s Unisex Salon. The bundle is rounded out with cosmetic items like Vice City Styles and apparel from Goodtime Gear. And remember, if you start with the Standard Edition, you can always buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately later [1].
What should you check before placing a pre-order?
Before you commit to a pre-order, the first thing to check is platform compatibility. Rockstar has currently announced PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the launch platforms [1]. It’s important to note that a PC version does not appear on the developer’s official list at this time [1].
Once you’ve confirmed your console, think about the format. If you prefer a physical copy, be aware that it’s a code-in-a-box product with no disc inside [1]. Opting for a digital pre-order of either edition nets you an extra perk: one month of GTA+ membership [1]. All pre-orders and purchases made before November 20, 2026 come with the Vintage Vice City Pack, which includes a ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern [2][1].
To make sure you can play the moment the game goes live, pre-loading for digital copies will begin at local midnight on November 12, 2026 [1]. The physical code-in-a-box version is also expected to become available on November 12, 2026, allowing everyone to get the game downloaded and ready for release [1].
Whichever edition you choose, K4G offers competitive prices on Grand Theft Auto VI CD keys, with optional K4G Purchase Protection available at checkout.
