What comes with the GTA 6 Standard Edition?

Eligible digital and physical purchases made before November 20 also include the Vintage Vice City Pack, featuring the '55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. Digital purchases additionally include one month of GTA+, subject to Rockstar's redemption and renewal terms.

What does the $99.99 Ultimate Edition add?
The Ultimate Edition costs $20 more than the Standard Edition and is sold digitally. Rockstar describes it as an expanded collection of story-mode items threaded across Jason and Lucia's journey.
Confirmed additions include the '95 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, personalized weapon variants, Vice City styles, Jason's safehouse vehicles, the Ganado Retro Build, multiple vehicle and customization businesses, the Shitzu Squalo, a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, tattoo and clothing locations, an illegal-goods operation, and a classic-car collection.
The Ultimate Edition bonuses are separate from the Vintage Vice City Pack. The Vintage pack is a purchase bonus available with eligible orders before November 20, while the larger collection is tied to the premium edition.

Is the physical GTA 6 version cheaper?
Rockstar currently lists the physical code-in-box Standard Edition at $79.99 in the United States. Retailers may set their own availability and checkout terms, so buyers should verify the final listing before ordering.
Because the box contains a download code rather than a disc, it does not provide the normal lending or resale benefits of traditional physical media. The boxed version is primarily for buyers who want retail packaging or prefer purchasing through a physical retailer.
A physical Ultimate Edition is not currently available. After redeeming a physical Standard Edition code, players can purchase an Ultimate Edition Upgrade through the PlayStation or Microsoft digital store.
Is GTA 6 worth $79.99?
That depends on what a buyer values. The Standard Edition provides the complete game and is the sensible choice for players who do not care about exclusive vehicles, weapons, businesses or cosmetics.
The Ultimate Edition may appeal to collectors and players who want the additional story-mode content from the beginning. However, Rockstar says Standard Edition owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade later, so there is no need to pay for extras before deciding whether they are useful.
The best buying approach is to compare the confirmed contents rather than treating the more expensive edition as automatically better. No review can judge the final game's value before release and independent testing.
Where can you preorder GTA 6?
Rockstar lists the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Rockstar Store and select retailers as supported preorder options. Buyers should use an official storefront or a retailer they trust, confirm the correct platform and region, and review cancellation terms before paying.
