FAQ

Buying questions

Should I buy Standard or Ultimate?
Standard has the full game. Ultimate adds extra vehicles, weapons, outfits and some shops that only open for Ultimate owners. If you don't care about extras, Standard is enough. You can usually upgrade later.
Does GTA 6 come on a disc?
No. The boxed version contains a download code. PlayStation codes are region-locked, so buy a box from the same region as your account.
When does the pre-order bonus end?
The store says pre-orders count until 19 November 2026 at 23:59:59 (time zone not stated). Don't leave it to the last hour.
Which console is best for GTA 6?
For most people a regular PS5. Series X is equal in power and great if you use Game Pass. Series S is the cheapest but runs at a lower resolution and has little storage. GTA 6 is listed as PS5 Pro Enhanced, but Sony and Rockstar have not said what the Pro adds.
Is there a GTA 6 Collector's Edition?
There is a $399.99 collector's box, "The Goodtime State: Vice City Collection", but it is merch only: the game is not inside. It is sold on the Rockstar Store only and ships from 19 November. More
