What	Standard	Ultimate
US price, 24 June 2026	US$79.99 Official	US$99.99 Official
The game	Yes. Not a cut-down story.	Yes. Same campaign.
Upgrade locker	Not included. Standard owners can buy the Upgrade later as a digital add-on, after a boxed code is redeemed. Rockstar did not print a separate Upgrade MSRP on Newswire.	Included. Named metal, iron, clothes, shops. Support: items “uncovered behind each chapter.” That is not a second campaign. Names live on editions.
Physical box	Download code inside. No disc. On sale from 12 November so you can pre-load.	Not sold as a boxed SKU. Support is explicit.
Vintage Vice City Pack	Purchases before 20 November 2026.	Same cutoff. Not Ultimate-only.
One month of GTA+	Digital line. Digital pre-orders, and digital buys before 20 November. Not a promise the boxed code includes it. The month is GTA V / GTA Online, not a VI multiplayer pass. Card: GTA+.	Same digital line.
Platforms	PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\|S.	Same. No last-gen. No PC date.
Digital pre-load	12 November 2026, local midnight. A store clock. Not a play date.	Same window.
Launch	19 November 2026.	Same date.

The game box holds a code, not a disc. If a listing shows a collector statue at a third price, it is not from this desk. The US$399.99 Vice City Collection on the Rockstar Store (24 September) is a merch box with no game inside. It is not a third edition.

Vintage cutoff

What the chips actually pick

Official Cheapest. Standard. US$79.99 as of 24 June 2026. That is the game. Ultimate is the extra twenty on the same announcement. Regional storefronts set their own currency.

Physical box. Standard. The box is a download code from 12 November. No disc. Support says there is no physical Ultimate Edition. If you want the locker later, you buy the Upgrade after the code is used.

Vintage pack. Both, if you buy before 20 November 2026. It is not Ultimate-only. Official list: a ’55 Vapid Stanier, a Shore Court garage near Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for both leads, and a tropical weapon pattern they tied to the 2002 game. After that date it is not part of the offer as described. Day-after-launch buyers can miss it.

Ultimate extras. Ultimate. US$99.99. Game plus the Upgrade locker Rockstar Support printed. Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s sit on that locker as destinations. Storefronts: shops. We will not invent a mission count from “behind each chapter.”

Official Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition front-of-box — Ultimate Edition front-of-box. This is the US$99.99 SKU - the extra twenty dollars on the 24 June card.

The pack is a date, not a third edition

Vintage is a cutoff. Pre-orders opened 25 June 2026, midnight local. The pack rides with qualifying buys before 20 November. GTA+ is the digital line on top of that. Clocks and .ics files: calendar. Country hours: release dates. Pack page: Vintage pack. Code box: boxed copy. Extended Look already aired 27 August; rewatch ticks live on the watch checklist.

Official Vintage Vice City Pack still. Pre-orders and any purchase before 20 November 2026 include this extra. After that date, it is not part of the offer as described.

Where to start

Start at rockstargames.com/VI. PlayStation Store and Microsoft’s store list their own SKUs. Take-Two named those stores plus Rockstar Games Store and global retailers. We do not rank them. We do not paste affiliate links. Locker names match Rockstar Support’s editions article.

Do not buy a “key” from a gray market because it is five dollars cheaper. If the code fails in November, this site cannot refund you. There is no official early access. The 12 November pre-load is a download date, not a play date.

If Standard or Ultimate changes price, or if Rockstar adds a third SKU, the pre-order guide gets the dated note and this page points at it. Until then: US$79.99 and US$99.99 as of 24 June 2026, Vintage pack before 20 November, a GTA+ month on digital, pre-load on 12 November, and a box that is a code.

Hardware side-buy: Limited Edition DualSense pads have been on pre-order since 10 September 2026, 10:00 a.m. ET on PlayStation Direct at US$84.99. Separate from Standard / Ultimate. See DualSense.
