How Much Is GTA 6? Price, Editions and the $20 Upgrade

GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That’s the whole lineup for Grand Theft Auto VI: no Deluxe tier, no collector’s edition with the game inside. If you’re torn, buy Standard: Rockstar sells the Ultimate content as a separate upgrade you can add at any time, and Microsoft lists it at $20.

GTA 6 price: the two editions

Take-Two announced both prices ahead of pre-orders opening at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. Here’s what separates them.

Neither edition unlocks the game early: both launch on November 19, and our early access guide explains why. As for Ultimate’s extras, Rockstar says they are “threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter.”

What the Ultimate Edition includes

Rockstar’s support page lists 16 items. Grouped by type:

The Dominator Buggy’s garage is the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, with a weapon locker. Rockstar says the revolvers are “sourced from the Vercetti Estate,” and Electric Fang offers over 50 tattoos by the art collective FAILE.

The line that matters is the venues row. Those five businesses sit in the open world and stay closed on a Standard copy. We break down that choice in GTA 6 Ultimate Edition paywalls open-world shops.

Can you upgrade from Standard to Ultimate later?

Yes. Rockstar Support says the Ultimate Edition Upgrade is available to Standard owners “to purchase separately at any time.” It’s a digital add-on sold on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, and it requires the base game.

• Price: the Microsoft Store lists it at $20.00, so Standard plus upgrade comes to the same $99.99 as Ultimate. The PlayStation Store lists the upgrade but doesn’t show a price publicly.
• Boxed copies: redeem the code from the box first, then buy the upgrade on your console’s store.
• Bonuses: the Vintage Vice City Pack and the GTA+ month come with the game, not the upgrade. The PlayStation Store adds that the GTA+ incentive can only be redeemed once per account, however many purchases you make.

That makes Standard the low-risk call. Play the opening chapters, see whether the extra mod shops and the Classic Car Collection matter to you, and pay the $20 only then.

Vintage Vice City Pack and GTA+

Every pre-order or purchase made before November 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack, on either edition. Rockstar lists three items: the ‘55 Vapid Stanier sedan and its garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. On a boxed copy, the pack rides along in the download code.

Digital purchases also add one month of GTA+. GTA+ is Rockstar’s paid membership for GTA Online, and GTA 6 launches as a single-player game, so the month is a perk for the current GTA Online. Our GTA+ review covers what it’s worth.

Can you cancel a GTA 6 pre-order?

Yes, but the clock that matters is the preload, not launch day. Rockstar moved digital preloading up to November 10, nine days before release, with a file of up to 212 GB. On PlayStation, that download is the point of no return.

Sony’s wording is blunt: once you’ve started downloading the main part of a pre-order, “including pre-loading before release,” there’s no refund unless the game is faulty. So if you’re on the fence about $79.99 or $99.99, cancel before your PS5 wakes up on November 10, or turn off automatic downloads until you’ve decided.

On Xbox, Microsoft may bill a card up to 10 days before release, so from November 9, and a pre-order canceled after billing but before release is processed as a refund. Rebuying later? Only purchases made before November 20 keep the Vintage Vice City Pack.

Boxed copy, cheap keys and the collector’s box

• No disc in the box. The physical Standard holds a download code and reaches retailers from November 12. Rockstar’s support page says codes can be used as soon as they arrive, and digital preloads open two days earlier, on November 10. Our no-disc explainer and file size guide cover the download.
• Region locks on PlayStation. PlayStation codes only redeem on an account registered in the region they were sold in (the US and Canada share one). Rockstar says Xbox codes aren’t region-locked, but still advises buying in your account’s country to avoid activation problems.
• Collector’s box, game not included. The Goodtime State, Vice City Collection is merchandise: a Macca the Gator figure, GTAVI Oakley Frogskins, a New Era cap and more. The Rockstar Store lists it at $399.99 and states the game is sold separately.
