What each edition includes

Standard Edition ($79.99): the full game. Jason and Lucia’s story, the whole state of Leonida, every mission and system. It is the only edition sold as a physical box.

Ultimate Edition ($99.99): the full game plus the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. Rockstar says its items are spread through Jason and Lucia’s story, with new ones uncovered in each chapter. The upgrade contains:

  • Vehicles: ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Ganado Retro Build, Shitzu Squalo, ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with its garage, Jason’s Safehouse vehicles and the Classic Car Collection.
  • Weapons: the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers and personalized weapon variants.
  • Clothes and looks: Vice City Styles and Goodtime Gear.
  • Places to use: Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s mod shops, Sara’s Unisex Salon, the Stock 305 clothing store, the Electric Fang tattoo parlor and the PTT Youngin$ Compound.

Some of these places come with their own side activities, but no story mission is locked behind the Ultimate. There is no Deluxe, Gold or Collector’s edition: Rockstar has announced only these two.

Price in every store

Store prices for the digital editions. In Brazil and Portugal the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store list the same price; physical boxes vary by shop.

  • United States: $79.99 Standard, $99.99 Ultimate on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store.
  • Brazil: R$ 449,90 Standard, R$ 549,90 Ultimate on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store. The upgrade from Standard costs R$ 100.
  • United Kingdom: £69.99 Standard, £89.99 Ultimate.
  • Portugal: €79.99 Standard, €99.99 Ultimate on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store.

Upgrading later: Standard owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade on the PlayStation or Microsoft store at any time after redeeming the game. In Brazil it costs R$ 100, exactly the gap between the editions. Rockstar has not published the upgrade price in other currencies; in the US the gap between the editions is $20.

Pre-order bonus and the GTA+ month

Every purchase of either edition made before November 20, 2026, digital or a physical pre-order, includes the Vintage Vice City Pack:

  • A ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan and a garage.
  • Outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia.
  • An exclusive weapon pattern.

Digital purchases before November 20 also get one month of GTA+, Rockstar’s subscription for GTA Online with a games library that includes GTA V. The physical box does not include it. Read this before you redeem it:

  1. It renews automatically. When the free month ends it becomes a paid GTA+ subscription: $7.99, £6.99 or €7.99 a month. The date the charge starts is shown when you redeem.
  2. Cancel the renewal right after redeeming. On PS5, open your account’s subscription management and turn off auto-renew; on Xbox, do it under Services & subscriptions on account.microsoft.com. You keep the free month either way.
  3. Redeem it when you will use it. The renewal date is set from the day you redeem, and you have until March 31, 2027. It counts once per account; if you already pay for GTA+, it adds a month to your current time.

Digital or physical

The box has no disc. The physical Standard Edition contains a download code. It reaches shops from November 12, the same day preload opens, and the code can be redeemed as soon as you have it.

A PlayStation code must match your account’s region. A code bought in Brazil works only on a Brazilian PlayStation account, and the same goes for other regions. Rockstar says Xbox codes are not region-locked.

Once redeemed, the code is tied to that account. A code-in-a-box cannot be lent or resold the way a disc could, so the box mainly matters if a shop sells it cheaper than the store or you are giving it as a gift.

There is no physical Ultimate. Box owners who want it buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade on the PlayStation or Microsoft store after redeeming their code.

Which one should you buy

  • Buy the Standard if you want the story and the map. No story mission is locked behind the Ultimate, and you can buy the upgrade later if you change your mind.
  • Buy the Ultimate if you know you want the extra cars, weapons and shops from day one. In Brazil it costs exactly the Standard plus the R$ 100 upgrade, so waiting saves nothing if you will want it anyway.
  • Buy digital before November 20 to get both the Vintage Vice City Pack and the GTA+ month. A physical pre-order gets the pack but not GTA+.
  • Buy the box only if it is cheaper where you shop, or as a gift. It is a code, not a disc.
