After years of anticipation, Rockstar Games has officially launched pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI, giving fans their first detailed look at what each edition of the game includes before its highly anticipated release on November 19.
The company has introduced three major pre-order offerings: the Standard Edition, the Ultimate Edition, and a special GTA+ bonus available to players who purchase digitally through the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store.
Whether players are looking for exclusive cosmetics, collectible vehicles, special weapons, or additional story-related content, Rockstar is offering a wide range of incentives for those who reserve the game ahead of launch.
With GTA VI expected to be one of the biggest entertainment releases in history, the pre-order packages provide players with several ways to customize their experience before they even enter the state of Leonida.
The Vintage Vice City Pack comes with every pre-order
Every player who pre-orders GTA VI will receive the Vintage Vice City Pack, a collection of bonus items designed to celebrate the franchise's return to the iconic city.
One of the biggest rewards included in the pack is the '55 Vapid Stanier, a classic two-tone sedan inspired by vintage American automobiles. The vehicle will be stored inside the Shore Court Garage near Ocean Beach and comes with access to a weapon locker and a secure location for storing valuable items collected during gameplay.
The garage also connects players to local Fence services, allowing them to sell stolen goods and other contraband throughout Leonida.
The pack also includes exclusive character customization options for both protagonists.
Jason receives a retro-inspired pastel linen suit along with a matching classic hairstyle, while Lucia gets a glamorous red sequin dress paired with vintage curls. Rockstar has also added an exclusive tropical-themed weapon skin inspired by Tommy Vercetti's iconic palm-print shirt from the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
One important detail for collectors is that physical versions of GTA VI will not contain a game disc. Instead, the box will include a digital download code that must be redeemed online.
The Ultimate Edition adds a huge amount of extra content
For players seeking the most complete experience, Rockstar has created an Ultimate Edition that expands significantly beyond the base game.
The Ultimate Edition introduces a large collection of vehicles that become available throughout Jason and Lucia's journey. Among them are the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, the '95 Grotti Cheetah supercar, an upgraded Dinka Enduro motorcycle, a Crest Kayak, and a fully customizable Vapid Ganado pickup truck featuring exclusive visual upgrades and special liveries.
Players will also gain access to a special Classic Car Collection mission line that involves locating and restoring abandoned vehicles scattered across Leonida. Several of these collectible cars are exclusive to Ultimate Edition owners.
Rockstar has further expanded vehicle customization through two exclusive modification garages.
Rideout Customs in Vice City specializes in luxury interiors, oversized rims, and donk-style modifications, while One-Eyed Willie's in Lake Leonida focuses on off-road builds, handcrafted paint jobs, and rugged performance upgrades.
The Ultimate Edition also includes the Shitzu Squalo speedboat, featuring a unique color scheme and a special weapons cache stored onboard.
Exclusive weapons and combat upgrades
Combat-focused players will find several exclusive additions in the Ultimate Edition.
The package introduces matching versions of the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolver for both Jason and Lucia. Inspired by the legacy of the Vercetti Estate, these revolvers feature engraved detailing, custom grips, upgraded scopes, and unique finishes unavailable elsewhere in the game.
Additional personalized sidearms are also included for both protagonists, allowing players to further distinguish their characters throughout the story.
These weapons are gradually unlocked as players progress through the campaign, ensuring they remain tied to the game's narrative progression rather than being available immediately from the start.
More outfits, tattoos, hairstyles, and customization options
Rockstar is placing a major emphasis on personalization in GTA VI, and the Ultimate Edition greatly expands those options.
Owners gain access to Stock 305, an exclusive fashion destination offering premium streetwear collections, unique accessories, and limited-edition clothing items.
Additional cosmetic content includes the Vice City Styles collection, which introduces new outfits and accessories inspired by the culture and nightlife of Vice City.
Players will also receive access to the Goodtime Gear collection, themed around Macca the Gator, a character from one of the game's fictional television programs.
Sara's Unisex Salon provides exclusive hairstyles, facial hair options for Jason, and additional makeup and nail customization for Lucia.
Meanwhile, Electric Fang Tattoo offers more than 50 exclusive tattoo designs created in collaboration with the artist collective FAILE, giving players even more ways to personalize their characters.
Additional missions and criminal opportunities
The Ultimate Edition doesn't stop with cosmetics and vehicles.
Players will also encounter the PTT Youngin$ gang, a criminal organization operating an illegal goods business in Southside Vice City.
These special locations can be raided to obtain rare contraband, unique loot, and other rewards unavailable through the standard version of the game.
The additional activities are designed to further immerse players in GTA VI's criminal underworld while providing exclusive progression opportunities.
For those who purchase the Standard Edition at launch, Rockstar has confirmed that the Ultimate Edition Upgrade will remain available separately, allowing players to unlock all bonus content at a later date.
Free GTA+ membership for digital buyers
Rockstar is also offering an additional incentive for players who pre-order digitally.
Anyone who purchases GTA VI through the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store will receive one free month of GTA+, the company's premium membership service.
The subscription includes a monthly deposit of GTA$500,000 into the player's GTA Online account, bonus Shark Card promotions, free and discounted vehicles, exclusive member rewards, and access to a rotating library of Rockstar games.
Players can redeem the membership immediately after pre-ordering. However, Rockstar notes that the subscription will automatically renew at the standard monthly rate once the free month expires unless canceled.
The offer is limited to one redemption per platform account.
Release date and pricing
Grand Theft Auto VI launches worldwide on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The Standard Edition is priced at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 and includes all additional vehicles, missions, customization options, weapons, and exclusive content.
With pre-orders now live and Rockstar finally revealing what's included in each version, the countdown to one of the most anticipated video game releases of all time has officially begun. As excitement continues to build, GTA VI is already shaping up to be one of the biggest launches in gaming history.
