GTA 6 Price and Editions: Standard vs Ultimate Edition Explained
GTA 6 price questions finally have official answers. Rockstar Games opened pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI in June 2026 and revealed two editions: a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition. This guide explains what each costs, what you get, and how to decide which one fits you.
How Much Does GTA 6 Cost?
Here are the announced launch prices for the two editions:
- Standard Edition: US$79.99, or C$109.99 in Canada
- Ultimate Edition: US$99.99, or C$139.99 in Canada
Prices in other regions vary by country and storefront, and retailers can run their own promotions, so always check the final price at checkout.
Is GTA 6 more expensive than other games?
The Standard Edition sits at the higher end of current console game pricing. Considering the size of the project, many players expected a premium price, and Rockstar went with the $79.99 tier rather than higher rumoured figures.
What Platforms Is GTA 6 On?
At launch, GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced yet. Follow our GTA 6 PC release tracker for updates.

Standard Edition: What You Get
The Standard Edition is the full base game: the complete single-player story starring Lucia and Jason, set in the state of Leonida and Vice City. For most players, this is all you need to experience GTA 6.
Ultimate Edition: What You Get
The Ultimate Edition includes the base game plus extra in-game content. Based on Rockstar’s announcement, this includes additional items such as:
- Extra vehicles
- Additional weapons
- Clothing and cosmetic items
- Access to additional in-game shops and services
These are bonus items, not extra story chapters. The core campaign is the same in both editions.
Pre-Order Bonus: The Vintage Vice City Pack
Players who pre-order either edition receive the Vintage Vice City Pack. According to Rockstar’s announcement, it includes:
- A classic ’55 Vapid Stanier
- A garage
- ’80s-style outfits and hairstyles
- A tropical weapon pattern
The pack is tied to buying the game during the launch window, so check the storefront for the exact cut-off date before you buy.
Standard or Ultimate: Which Should You Buy?
Choose the Standard Edition if:
- You mainly care about the story and open world
- You want the lowest price
- You don’t mind earning vehicles and gear in-game
Choose the Ultimate Edition if:
- You want extra cars, weapons and outfits from day one
- You enjoy collecting cosmetic content
- The C$30 difference doesn’t matter to you
Remember that bonus items give convenience and style, not a different game. Playing the story is the same experience either way.
Digital or Physical?
Both digital and boxed versions are available at retailers. Digital buyers can pre-load the game before launch, which means you can start playing as soon as it unlocks. See our GTA 6 pre-load guide and check the GTA 6 release time in your time zone.
