GTA 6 price and editions: what $79.99 and $99.99 actually get you

Rockstar announced pricing on June 24, 2026 and opened pre-orders the next day. The Ultimate Edition detail is thinner than most headlines suggest.

Grand Theft Auto VI is $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, announced on June 24, 2026, with pre-orders live on PlayStation and Xbox storefronts and at retail from June 25.

Rockstar describes the Ultimate Edition as adding extra vehicles, clothing and weapon content. It has not published a full itemised list, so anything you see enumerating every bonus is guesswork.

Both editions launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. No PC version has been announced, and no upgrade path from one platform to another has been mentioned.

If you are undecided, there is no deadline pressure: digital pre-orders can be cancelled up to release on both storefronts, and nothing in the Ultimate Edition has been described as affecting story access.

How to choose: the $20 gap buys cosmetic and convenience extras, not more story. If you mostly care about Lucia and Jason's campaign, the Standard Edition is the complete game. If you already know you will spend dozens of hours driving and dressing up in Leonida, the Ultimate Edition's extras may be worth it — but wait for Rockstar's full item list before paying for content you cannot see yet.

Digital or disc: digital pre-orders let you pre-load before November 19 (Rockstar has not announced a pre-load date or install size yet), while a disc can be resold. Check your console's free storage either way — open-world games of this scale are large.

What is still unknown: the itemised Ultimate Edition contents, any pre-order bonus beyond what storefronts list, a pre-load date, the install size, any PC release, and anything about an online mode. We will not fill those gaps with rumours — this page changes only when Rockstar or the official storefronts do.
