Rockstar has revealed new details about GTA 6 preorder bonuses, including the contents of the Ultimate Edition.
Preorders don’t go live until midnight on June 25.
Prices haven’t been announced yet, but the developer has outlined what buyers can expect from the pricier edition.
What comes in the Ultimate Edition
According to the company, the Ultimate Edition offers “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner.”
The key difference here is how that content is delivered.
Instead of putting everything in the player’s inventory from the start, “new items [are] uncovered behind each chapter.” That means players will unlock pieces of the bonus as they progress through the story.

The headline item is a ‘95 Grotti Cheetah‘, the game’s take on a Ferrari Testarossa. There’s also a set of his ‘n’ hers Morgan revolvers from Hawk & Little with exclusive customization options like engravings.
Dual protagonists Lucia and Jason get exclusive outfits and tattoos.
Jason also gets two safehouse vehicles: a Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest kayak. His Vapid Ganado pickup receives an exclusive retro mod kit.
That edition adds a custom tuner shop called Rideout Customs, and another shop called One-Eyed Willies that specializes in elaborate custom paintwork.
Standard edition owners’ access to vehicle tuning shops is unclear.
There’s also a feature similar to barn finds in the Forza Horizon series: players can “track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalise them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman.”

The full list extends to a long range of cosmetic items, stores, vehicles, and weapons.
The company wants players to buy the more expensive version.
How the staggered unlock system might play out
The delivery method — items appearing after each chapter rather than at the start — is an interesting design choice. It could push some players to rush through story missions just to get their hands on exclusive gear, while others might see it as a reason to explore more thoroughly.
Whether the pacing works will depend on how well the company balances the rewards against the game’s natural progression. It’s a risk, but one that could make the bonus feel more integrated than a simple inventory dump.
The Vintage Vice City preorder pack
Separately, anyone who reserves a copy gets the Vintage pack.
It contains vehicles and outfits that hark back to the ’80s Miami Vice aesthetic of the original 2002 release. The source notes that this includes items like a tight perm and rolled-up blazer sleeves — a clear callback to the series’ neon-soaked roots. Whether that’s worth a financial commitment before the game even launches is up to the buyer.
