GTA 6 editions: Standard, Ultimate and box codes
On this page
GTA 6 has Standard and Ultimate editions. Standard includes the game; Ultimate adds a set of story bonuses. The retail box contains a download code, not a disc. Check the format and account region before buying.
Which edition do you need?
Standard is the base-game purchase. An Ultimate upgrade is sold separately, so choosing Standard does not prevent upgrading later. For a boxed copy, redeem its game code before purchasing the upgrade.
Rockstar lists these Ultimate extras; some become available as Jason and Lucia’s story progresses. This list does not give their mission requirements or promise that everything appears at the start.

Keep the purchase bonus separate from Ultimate
Eligible digital purchases before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack and one month of GTA+. The pack contains a 1955 Vapid Stanier with a garage, outfits, hairstyles and a weapon pattern. PlayStation specifies the digital pack cutoff as November 19 at 11:59:59 p.m. local time.
The boxed preorder includes the Vintage Vice City Pack. Do not assume that every digital promotion is also included with a retail code. A GTA+ offer does not announce a GTA 6 multiplayer release date.
PlayStation’s GTA+ offer must be claimed by March 31, 2027. It renews as a paid subscription unless canceled; the upgrade alone is excluded. Check the linked offer terms before claiming.
A box still requires a download
Rockstar announces retailer shipping and pickup from November 12. Delivery depends on the seller. There is no disc and no boxed Ultimate edition; a boxed Standard owner can buy the digital upgrade.
Allow for the download time and preload schedule. Receiving or redeeming the code does not move the game’s unlock time forward. Contact the retailer if the code is missing or unreadable.
Check the code’s region
PlayStation codes must match a supported account region: for example, North American codes cover Canada and the United States, while Brazilian codes cover Brazil. Rockstar provides the full country groups in the source below and states that its Xbox game codes are not region-locked.
Before paying, compare the product listing with the region of the account you will use. Keep the receipt and keep the code private. Prices and offers should be checked in your own store.
