Pre-orders opened June 25. Quick answer: Standard is $79.99, Ultimate is $99.99, both digital and physical on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
What the $20 extra gets you in Ultimate (based on the store listings): early-access cosmetics, some in-game bonuses for the eventual online mode, and a steelbook on the physical side. No gameplay-relevant content, no early play date announced.
My honest take: if you're the kind of person who buys every GTA at launch anyway, get whatever edition makes you happy. If you're on the fence, Standard does everything that matters. Rockstar games historically don't lock real content behind editions — the meaningful stuff comes later through updates.
One warning: only pre-order from official stores (PlayStation Store, Xbox/Microsoft Store, or a retailer you actually know). Every big pre-order window brings a wave of "cheap key" scam sites, and GTA 6 is the biggest target in gaming history. If a price looks too good for the biggest game of the decade, it's fake.
Anyone here actually pre-ordered? Standard or Ultimate?
