GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: what is the difference?
Short answer: Both editions contain the complete game: the same story, the same map, the same missions. Ultimate adds extra content on top, mostly vehicles, weapons, outfits and side activities. In the US, Standard costs $79.99 and Ultimate $99.99.
What Standard gives you
- The full GTA 6 story with Jason and Lucia
- The whole state of Leonida, from Vice City to the Keys
- Every main mission
Nothing you need to finish the story is locked behind Ultimate.
What Ultimate adds
Coverage of Rockstar’s listing agrees on the type of extras:
- Extra vehicles and weapons
- Outfits for Jason and Lucia
- Extra shops and side activities
Different sites count the items differently, so treat any exact number you see online with care and check the store page before you buy.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Standard owners can buy the Ultimate upgrade separately later. The price of that upgrade has not been confirmed.
Pre-order bonus
Coverage of Rockstar’s listing mentions a Vintage Vice City Pack and a free month of GTA+ for buying either edition before 20 November. The exact conditions are on the store page, so check them there before you count on the bonus.
