GTA 6 Pre-Orders: Standard vs Ultimate Edition, and the $400 Box Without the Game

GTA 6 costs $79.99 or $99.99, and the $400 Goodtime State collector’s box doesn’t include the game. Which edition to pre-order, and why Standard is enough.

GTA 6 comes out on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and pre-orders are open in two editions. There’s also a $400 collector’s box that a lot of people are searching for. It doesn’t include the game.

PriceWhat you get
Standard Edition$79.99The game, plus the Vintage Vice City Pack if you pre-order
Ultimate Edition$99.99The game, plus extra cars, weapons, outfits, businesses and two side missions
The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection$399.99A collector’s box: Macca the Gator figure, Oakley sunglasses, a poster with the Leonida map. No game

Buy the Standard Edition. The pre-order bonus, 1980s outfits for Lucia and Jason, a 1955 car and weapon skins, comes with either edition. And Rockstar says you can upgrade to Ultimate after launch, so there’s no reason to pay the extra $20 up front. Play it first, and upgrade if you want more cars and businesses.

The Goodtime State box is for collectors only. It’s limited to one per customer from the Rockstar Store and ships on November 19, but you still need to buy the game separately, so the real total is $480 or more.

Whichever edition you get, the preload starts on November 10 and needs 212 GB. Our preload guide has the times and how to make room, the PS5 SSD guide covers the drives worth adding, and there’s no PC version yet: here’s what we expect it to need.
