The GTA 6 Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 in the US, $20 more than the Standard Edition. In return it adds cars, weapons, a speedboat and several extra businesses in Leonida. Here is every bonus with Rockstar’s official images, and our answer to the big question: is it worth it?
Quick summary
- Price: $99.99 (Standard: $79.99)
- Cars: ’95 Grotti Cheetah, ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and a Classic Car Collection
- Weapons: Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers and personalized pistols
- Businesses: two mod shops, a salon, a clothing store and a tattoo parlor
- Some content unlocks as the story progresses
Cars and vehicles

Mod shops, stores and businesses
The most interesting part of the Ultimate Edition: several places in Leonida tied to you.
Rideout Customs
A car customization shop, with lowrider wheels and paint.
One-Eyed Willie’s
A mod shop for built-up pickups and off-roaders.
Sara’s Unisex Salon
A hair salon for cuts and styles.
Stock 305 clothing store
Electric Fang Tattoo
Other extras
- PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store, a gang compound
- Exclusive outfits and tattoos for Jason and Lucia
- Goodtime Gear
How the extras fit the game
The bonuses make more sense once you know the systems Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson described to Famitsu in August 2026:
- Limited garage space: you start with room for three vehicles, and garages expand it. Extra cars like the Cheetah and the Dominator Buggy take up slots, so plan where to keep them.
- Stolen cars do not stick: vehicles taken off the street are temporary. Owning cars, like the edition’s, means they stay with you.
- Paint and tuning: Pay ‘n’ Spray repairs and recolors cars, but detailed paint jobs need a tuning shop. The Ultimate mod shops fit in there.
- Weapons: Ammu-Nation sells exclusive guns and offers more customization. The edition’s revolvers add to an arsenal that now lives in your car or hideout, not your pocket.
Some of this content unlocks as the story progresses, so not everything is available right away.
Ultimate Edition vs the Collector’s Box
Do not mix them up. The Ultimate is a game edition, with content inside GTA 6. The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, at $399.99, is a box of physical merchandise sold only on the Rockstar Store, and it does not include the game. See what is in the Collector’s Box. The Vintage Vice City Pack comes with both editions on pre-order.

| US price | $79.99 | $99.99 |

Is it worth it?
Worth it if you…
- Will play for months, not just the story
- Love rare cars and customization
- Want to start with an edge and more style
Stick with Standard if you…
- Only want the main campaign
- Are on a tight budget
- Do not care about extra cars and outfits
Our take: for $20, the Ultimate delivers a lot, especially the mod shops and the cars. If you plan to spend a long time in Leonida, it pays off. See where to pre-order GTA 6.
