GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: What the Extra $20 Actually Gets You

Confirmed GTA 6 comes in two editions: Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99. Prices vary by country, so check your local store. Both give you the full game. The difference is the extra in-game content.

What Ultimate adds

As itemised by TheSixthAxis from Rockstar's announcement:

Vehicles

• '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy
• '95 Grotti Cheetah, available later in the story
• Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest Kayak at Jason's safehouse
• Retro-modded Vapid Ganado pickup
• Shitzu Squalo boat, docked at Washington Beach

Places and activities

• Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, with a weapon locker and stash box
• Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie's mod shops
• Classic Car Collection, restoring project cars for a commission
• PTT Youngin$ compound, including a raid on the Illegal Goods Store

Weapons

• Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers for Jason and Lucia
• Engraved Girardi ES9 for Jason and Klose K17 for Lucia

Style

• Stock 305 clothing store and Goodtime Gear apparel
• Sara's Unisex Salon
• Electric Fang Tattoo, with 50+ tattoos designed by FAILE

The content unlocks as you move through the story's chapters, so you won't get it all at once.

What both editions include

• The full game
• The Vintage Vice City Pack, if you buy in time
• One month of GTA+ on digital pre-orders

Which edition should you buy?

Choose Standard if you mainly want the story and open world. Rockstar's list points to extras rather than main story content, and you can upgrade later if you change your mind.

Choose Ultimate if you enjoy collecting cars and customising characters, and you know you'll spend a lot of time in Leonida. The extra garage, shops and side activity are aimed at players who stay after the credits.

Reviews are reported to land on November 18. Since you can upgrade later, waiting costs you nothing on content unless you are after the time-limited bonus.
