How Much Is GTA 6? Price of Standard vs Ultimate Edition

ConfirmedUpdated 1 min read

Rockstar sells the game in two editions: Standard and Ultimate. There's no middle tier. There's also a $399.99 Collector's Edition box, but it's merchandise only and doesn't include the game. See our Collector's Edition guide.

Quick answer: Standard is $79.99. Ultimate is $99.99 (US prices). Both include the full game, and both get the Vintage Vice City Pack if you buy before November 20, 2026.

Which edition should you buy?

Most players should buy Standard. You get the whole game, and the story is the same in both editions. If you love the game after a few hours, you can buy the Ultimate upgrade then.

Buy Ultimate if you want the extra cars, weapons and outfits from day one, or you know you'll spend hundreds of hours in Leonida anyway.

Don't miss the pre-order bonus

The Vintage Vice City Pack comes with any purchase made before November 20, 2026. That's the day after launch. If you're still deciding, buy before then to get it.

Where to buy

GTA 6 is on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. There's no PC version yet (see our PC release guide). Buying digital lets you preload now. The boxed version is a download code, not a disc.
