What is in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
Rockstar describes the Ultimate Edition as “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner.” The edition picker on rockstargames.com/VI lists 19 items. Three of them (the game, the Vintage Vice City Pack and the GTA+ month) are in both editions. The other 16 are Ultimate only.
Vehicles and garage
| Item | What Rockstar says |
|---|---|
| ’95 Grotti Cheetah | Grotti’s mid ’90s sports car with a “minimalist, retro-futuristic livery”, “available to punctuate later-stage action” |
| ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy | “A Mud Club monster” for off-road driving around Mount Kalaga, stored at the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay |
| Paradise Garage | Comes with the buggy. Has a weapon locker and “a secure place to deposit stolen goods to be fenced” |
| Shitzu Squalo | A pink and blue boat docked at Washington Beach, with “an explosives-laden weapons crate” |
| Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles | An Army fatigue-tinged Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest Kayak |

Rockstar does not name the cars in the Classic Car Collection. More on every confirmed car in our GTA 6 vehicles list.
Weapons
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers: “His and hers versions of this powerful revolver with classic Vice City stylings sourced from the Vercetti Estate”, with palm tree grips and a scope
- Personalized Weapon Variants: engraved versions of Jason’s Girardi ES9 pistol and Lucia’s Klose K17 pistol
Shops, mod garages and a gang compound
Five of these places come with Rockstar’s line “Only open for business with the Ultimate Edition”: Rideout Customs, One-Eyed Willie’s, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305 and Electric Fang. Standard players will not get in. The PTT Youngin$ compound is on the Ultimate list too.
| Place | Type | What it offers |
|---|---|---|
| Rideout Customs | Mod shop | Detailed interiors, rims and “donk stylings” |
| One-Eyed Willie’s | Mod shop, Lake Leonida | Off-road mods and hand-painted paint jobs |
| Sara’s Unisex Salon | Salon | Facial hair for Jason, makeup and nails for Lucia |
| Stock 305 | Clothing store, Stockyard | Exclusive streetwear for Jason and Lucia |
| Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor | Tattoo shop, Stockyard | Over 50 tattoos designed by the artist collective FAILE |
| PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store | Gang compound, Southside Vice City | Raid it and escape to “score some special items and distinct contraband” |
Clothing

Standard vs Ultimate Edition
| Standard | Ultimate | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (US / EU) | $79.99 / €79.99 | $99.99 / €99.99 |
| Full story and map | Yes | Yes |
| Vintage Vice City Pack (pre-order bonus) | Yes | Yes |
| Free month of GTA+ (digital pre-order bonus) | Yes, digital only | Yes |
| 16 Ultimate items | No | Yes |
| Format | Digital or code in box | Digital only |
The story and the map are the same in both editions. Rockstar’s line is that the Ultimate bonuses “are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter.” So you do not get all 16 items at once. Some, like the Cheetah, are meant for “later-stage action”. Full price details for every edition are in our GTA 6 price guide.
Can you upgrade from Standard to Ultimate?
Yes. Rockstar Support says the “Ultimate Edition Upgrade will also be available for Grand Theft Auto VI: Standard Edition owners to purchase separately at any time.” You buy it as a digital add-on on PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store.
| You own | How to upgrade (Rockstar Support) |
|---|---|
| Digital Standard pre-order | Buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade as a digital add-on on PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store |
| Standard code in box | Redeem the code first. “Physical version buyers can upgrade at any point after their digital download code has been redeemed.” |
The upgrade is listed on PlayStation Store as “Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition Upgrade”, but on 15 November the store showed no price for it. The gap between the two editions is $20, but Rockstar has not confirmed what the upgrade itself costs. Not confirmed by Rockstar.
Is there a physical GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
No. Rockstar Support says it plainly: “A physical version of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition is not available.” The only boxed version is the Standard Edition, and that box holds a download code, not a disc. Our physical edition guide covers what is inside, and this guide shows how to redeem the code.
Is the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition worth it?
It depends on how much you care about extras. Nothing in Rockstar’s list is the story itself, so the Standard Edition is the full game. What Ultimate adds is extra cars, a boat and guns, plus two mod shops and three stores that Rockstar says only open for Ultimate owners.
- Get Standard if you want the game in a box, or if you are not sure yet. You can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade later.
- Get Ultimate if you want the Cheetah, the boat, the extra mod shops, tattoos and clothing stores, and you are buying digitally anyway.
We will update this page after launch on 19 November with when each item unlocks in the story.
