Pre-order bonuses
Anyone who pre-orders the game before November 20th will get the Vintage Vice City pack, and there’s more. The Vintage Vice City pack, which includes vehicles and costumes that harken back to the 80s Miami Vice-coded Vice City of the original 2002 game.
Physical or digital?
In fact, there is no difference here unless you really want the box. Rockstar has already confirmed that fans who pre-order a physical copy of GTA 6 will receive a code in the box to download the game. That’s right, you don’t even get a disc.
Some people will still prefer a box for their collection, so it’s up to you.
GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition: what’s the difference?
This has already been somewhat controversial, as Rockstar has confirmed that the difference between the Standard and Ultimate editions isn’t just about price and cosmetics. In addition to the “exclusive collection of premium cars, weapons, costumes and moves that cover all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story,” the Ultimate Edition also has 5 unlocked shops for $100.
In fact, if you want full access to everything in the game, you’ll have to pay an extra $20 for it. Here are the stores included in the Ultimate ($100) Edition of GTA6.
- CUSTOMS EXIT Transform vanilla cars into stunning works of art with detailed interiors, slim wheels and donk styling.
- SARA’S UNISEX SALON Get special salon styles for Jason and Lucia, including facial hair for Jason and makeup and nails for Lucia.
- STOCK 305 Create a variety of unique and exclusive looks for Jason and Lucia in Stockyard’s premiere destination for high-end streetwear.
- ELECTRIC TOOTH TATTOO Stockyard’s most iconic ink stick, over 50 signature tattoos for both Jason and Lucia – all created by FAILE artist collective.
- THE ONE-EYED WILLIE This mod shop in Lake Leonida specializes in off-road mods and hand-painted car crafts.
Cheapest way to get GTA 6
Of course, there are no real discounts at the moment, but if you want to shop directly from the Xbox or PlayStation stores, there is a way to get a small discount, and that’s by using gift card offers to top up your account.
Currently the best place for this is Downloaded (formerly CDKeys)
- For the Standard Edition ($80): You can buy a $50 gift card and three $10 gift cards. With discounts available at Loaded, you’ll pay just under $80, leaving a little extra cash in your pocket.
- For the Ultimate Edition ($100): (My favorite strategy) is to catch four $25 gift cards for $23.49 each. That gives you a $100 balance for just $93.96, saving you over $6 on the first day.
