GTA 6 Editions Explained – Standard vs Ultimate, Physical Copies And Australian Prices
Compare GTA 6 Standard and Ultimate Editions, including pre-order bonuses
Grand Theft Auto VI is available to pre-order ahead of its November 19 release, with Rockstar Games offering Standard and Ultimate Editions.
Both editions include the complete single-player experience, but the Ultimate Edition adds a collection of vehicles, weapons, customisation options and other bonuses.
Rockstar has also confirmed that physical copies won’t include a physical disc in the box, just a code.
Here’s what you need to know before deciding which version to buy.
What’s Included In GTA 6 Standard Edition?
The Standard Edition includes Grand Theft Auto VI.
If you purchase the game before November 20, you are eligible for the Vintage Vice City Pack, which includes:
- ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage
- Additional outfits and hairstyles
- Exclusive weapon pattern
Eligible digital purchases also include one month of GTA+.
What’s Included In GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
The Ultimate Edition includes the base game and the Vintage Vice City Pack, alongside a larger collection of additional content.
Rockstar has confirmed extras including:
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers
- Personalised weapon variants
- Vice City Style customisation
- Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles
- Ganado Retro Build

The edition also includes additional vehicles, clothing, businesses and other content throughout the game.
The Ultimate Edition is only available digitally.
GTA 6 Australian Prices And Where To Buy
Grand Theft Auto VI is available to pre-order through the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and participating retailers. The standard edition is RRP of $129.95, while the Ultimate Edition costs $159.95. Some retailers have the standard edition at $125.
Can You Upgrade GTA 6 Standard Edition To Ultimate?
Yes. Rockstar has confirmed that Standard Edition owners can purchase the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately. This also applies to anyone who purchases the physical edition.
Which GTA 6 Edition Should You Buy?
For most people, the Standard Edition is the easy choice. It includes the full single-player campaign, and you don’t need to buy the Ultimate Edition to experience Jason and Lucia’s story.
The Ultimate Edition is more appealing if you’re interested in that additional content, though it sounds mostly like small add-ons, not a lot of content you’ll miss. You’re certainly not missing any story content.
Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
