GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: every vehicle, weapon, shop and raid in the $20 upgrade

The $99.99 Ultimate Edition adds six vehicles with a Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, engraved weapons and revolvers for both leads, Vice City-style looks, a compound raid, a classic-car commission and five exclusive shops. The full list, and whether it changes the game.

The Ultimate Edition of Grand Theft Auto VI costs $99.99, twenty dollars more than the Standard Edition, is digital only, and unlocks on November 19 like everything else. It includes the Vintage Vice City Pack that every pre-order gets, then adds three groups of content on top. None of it touches the story or the map.

Vehicles

Six, with somewhere to keep them: a Paradise Garage in Watson Bay.

  • '95 Grotti Cheetah, the series' Ferrari stand-in in a mid-90s body
  • '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy
  • Dinka Enduro motorcycle
  • Crest Kayak
  • Shitzu Squalo speedboat
  • A Ganado retro build for Jason's pickup

Weapons and looks

Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers for both leads, an engraved Girardi ES9 and Klose K17, Vice City-style outfits and tattoos, and Goodtime Gear apparel. Cosmetic for the most part, though in a game where the police track your clothes, a second wardrobe has a use.

Extra content

  • The PTT Youngin$ Compound raid. A piece of side content tied to the PTT Youngin$ store that appears in Rockstar's screenshots.
  • Wyman's Classic Car Collection commission. A job built around a collector's cars.
  • Five exclusive shops, including Electric Fang Tattoo with more than fifty designs; the official screenshots also show Rideout Customs, One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop, Sara's Unisex Salon and Stock 305 Clothing tagged as Ultimate Edition content. Rockstar has not spelled out whether each shop is exclusive in full or only carries exclusive stock.

Is it worth it?

If a Cheetah in the opening hours, a boat and a bike, and a handful of extra shops sound like the way you want to play, the twenty dollars buys that. If not, the Standard Edition is the same game, the Vintage pack comes with it, and an upgrade path exists later. What the Ultimate Edition does not buy is anything the game's Criminal Profile or police can be paid around: Rockstar has said single-player has no microtransactions.

The edition comparison sets the two side by side, and the launch guide has the table.
