Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.[1] Rockstar notes that the game plays best on PlayStation 5.[1] Before comparing editions, see the guide to GTA VI characters covering Jason and Lucia in detail.
What the Ultimate Edition includes
Rockstar’s official edition page now itemises what the Ultimate Edition includes instead of describing it in one marketing sentence. The following entries are confirmed by sources covering that listing:
| Item | Type | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City Pack (pre-order before November20) | pre-order bonus | [2] |
| 95 Grotti Cheetah | vehicle | [2] |
| Jason’s Dinka Enduro motorcycle | vehicle | [2] |
| Crest Kayak | vehicle | [2] |
| Shitzu Squalo boat | vehicle | [2] |
| 67 Vapid Dominator buggy | vehicle | [2] |
| Genado Retro Build for Jason’s Vapid Genado | vehicle build | [2] |
| ride out customs mod shop | business access | [2] |
| One-Eyed Willie’s mod shop | business access | [2] |
| Paradise Garage in Watson Bay | business access | [2] |
The Standard Edition costs $80, while the Ultimate Edition costs $100.[2] Rockstar’s page may also reference additional vehicles, weapons, apparel and businesses such as PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store, but those entries are not confirmed by the sources used here and their function remains unexplained. The next chance to see these vehicles in motion is the extended look scheduled for August27 at3PM ET.[1]
The detail most buyers miss
The Vice City Pack is often treated as an Ultimate-only bonus, but any pre-order purchased before November20 unlocks it — including a Standard Edition order.[2]
Another detail easy to overlook sits on Rockstar’s own platform note: Grand Theft Auto VI plays best on PlayStation5.[1]
If you plan to play primarily on Xbox Series X or Series S rather than PlayStation5, that performance note does not change your edition choice between Standard and Ultimate — both editions run on either console family per platform listing.[1]
Does that justify the upgrade?
The price gap between editions is $20 based on listed prices.[2]
If you plan to pre-order before November20 anyway, both editions give you the Vice City Pack,[2] so that pack should not drive an upgrade decision alone.
The confirmed extras unique to Ultimate are five vehicles/builds — from the Shitzu Squalo boat[2] to Jason’s Dinka Enduro motorcycle[2], plus three business accesses including Paradise Garage in Watson Bay.[2]
Whether those extras justify $20 depends on how much you expect to use those specific vehicles and businesses during play rather than collecting them once after launch.
If aircraft matter more than cars or boats when deciding what content matters most, this guide separates confirmed details from speculation about planes and helicopters in GTA VI.
