GTA 6 Pre-Order: 19 Bonus Items and What Each Edition Costs
by 6Charts TeamCategory: news9 min read
CONFIRMED BY THIS DESK'S EDITOR'S OWN PARSE, WITH PRICES FROM TWO INDEPENDENT CATALOGUES THAT AGREE TO THE CENT. Rockstar's own /VI page shows NO PRICE AT ALL, a point a researcher on this desk verified by finding zero price tokens in the entire payload. Microsoft's display catalogue gives Grand Theft Auto VI (ProductId 9P3H4968GRSM) a ListPrice and MSRP of 79.99 with LastModifiedDate 2026-10-15T15:07:29.1939700Z, and Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition (9NNZSNHLR63L) 99.99 with LastModifiedDate 2026-10-15T15:08:08.5068106Z, both at HTTP 200 and 78,564 bytes at 2026-10-16T03:11:12Z. The PlayStation Store lists $79.99 and $99.99 under PS5 title id PPSA01547. The Rockstar Store shows a single $79.99 on its pre-order button, and the two catalogues agreeing is what establishes that figure as the Standard rather than a guess. Rockstar's page data sets "defaultEdition":"ultimate", so the more expensive edition is pre-selected for a visitor. THE AMAZON LISTING IS A CODE IN A BOX AND NOT A DISC, which is the detail most coverage has missed: the editor read the title verbatim at HTTP 200 and 788,738 bytes at 03:18:00Z as "Grand Theft Auto VI - PlayStation 5 (Code in Box, Delivers 11/12/26, Playable 11/19/26)" at $79.99, and the page carries BOTH "released on November 12, 2026" and "released on November 19, 2026" strings, so the physical product ships a week early and what arrives is a download code that unlocks on launch day. The PlayStation listing adds that the Standard Edition carries a one-month GTA+ subscription with pre-order that auto-renews. THE NINETEEN BENEFIT KEYS in Rockstar's page order are base-game, vintage-vicecity, gta-plus, grotti-nine-five, hawk-morgan, personalised-sidearm, vice-city-styles, jason-safehouse, ganado-modkit, rideout-customs, saras-salon, shitzu-squalo, stock-three-zero-five, vapid-six-seven, electric-fang, one-eyed-willie, goodtime-gear, ptt-youngins and classic-cars. TWELVE RESOLVE TO A DISPLAY NAME AND DESCRIPTION and the article prints all twelve verbatim, among them the '95 GROTTI CHEETAH described as "Grotti's signature mid '90s sports car and ode to Shore Drive", the '67 VAPID DOMINATOR BUGGY as "A Mud Club monster offering impressive off-road handling for the backwoods of Mount Kalaga and beyond. Conveniently store it at the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, which features a weapon locker plus a secure place to deposit stolen goods to be fenced", the SHITZU SQUALO as "docked at Washington Beach ... made open-ocean-ready with an explosives-laden weapons crate", PERSONALIZED VARIANTS as "Personalized sidearms with detailed engravings for Jason's Girardi ES9 pistol and Lucia's Klose K17 pistol", GOODTIME GEAR as "inspired by the Goodtime State's hit TV show character, Macca the Gator", and SPECIAL COMMISSION as a job from "eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman". FOUR ITEMS ARE ULTIMATE EDITION ONLY, identified by the repeated sentence "Only open for business with the Ultimate Edition": Electric Fang Tattoo, One-Eyed Willie's, Rideout Customs and Sara's Unisex Salon, all four premises rather than objects, which is a consistent pattern worth noting and not a basis for predicting anything else. THE PRE-ORDER WINDOW IS CODED WITH AN END: Microsoft's purchasable availability runs to 2026-11-19T04:59:59Z, one second before the release timestamp of 2026-11-19T05:00:00Z. LIMITS: marketing copy is marketing copy and nothing above has been played by anyone at this desk; SEVEN of the nineteen keys did not resolve to a readable description on the page fetched, because they render from a translation dictionary loaded separately, so they are listed by key and no description is invented for them; and prices are regional and were read in US markets only, with GameStop and Argos returning 403, Best Buy failing at transport and Smyths serving an empty shell, so NO UK or EU pricing was read. rockstargames.com/robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot by name and this desk's fetches use a standard desktop browser user agent against specific public URLs rather than crawling.
Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI page carries two editions and nineteen separate benefit entries, each with its own name, category and description. This article prints the list as Rockstar writes it, with the prices from the two platform catalogues that publish them.
The prices, from the sources that actually state them
Rockstar's own page shows no price at all. Every price below comes from a storefront, and two independent catalogues agree to the cent.
SourceStandardUltimate
Microsoft display catalogue79.9999.99
PlayStation Store US$79.99$99.99
Rockstar Store$79.99 on the pre-order buttonnot separately readable
Amazon US, PS5$79.99not listed in search
Rockstar's page data sets "defaultEdition":"ultimate", so the more expensive edition is the one pre-selected for a visitor.
The Amazon listing is a code in a box, not a disc
This is the detail most coverage has missed. Amazon's PS5 listing reads, in full: "Grand Theft Auto VI - PlayStation 5 (Code in Box, Delivers 11/12/26, Playable 11/19/26)" at $79.99.
So the physical product ships on 12 November, a week before launch, and what arrives is a download code that unlocks on 19 November. The page carries both "released on November 12, 2026" and "released on November 19, 2026" strings for that reason. Anyone expecting a disc should read the product title twice.
The PlayStation Store listing adds that the Standard Edition carries a one-month GTA+ subscription with pre-order, which auto-renews.
All nineteen benefit entries, as Rockstar names them
The nineteen keys in Rockstar's page order are base-game, vintage-vicecity, gta-plus, grotti-nine-five, hawk-morgan, personalised-sidearm, vice-city-styles, jason-safehouse, ganado-modkit, rideout-customs, saras-salon, shitzu-squalo, stock-three-zero-five, vapid-six-seven, electric-fang, one-eyed-willie, goodtime-gear, ptt-youngins and classic-cars.
Twelve of them resolve to a display name and a description on the page. Quoted verbatim:

VICE CITY COLLECTIBLE SWIZZLE SPOONPhysical item"Stir things up with a decorative spoon featuring a debossed enamel Vice City logo and a Rockstar Games logo tip."
Four items are Ultimate Edition only
The sentence "Only open for business with the Ultimate Edition" appears on exactly four entries: Electric Fang Tattoo, One-Eyed Willie's, Rideout Customs and Sara's Unisex Salon. All four are premises rather than objects, which is a consistent pattern worth noting and not a basis for predicting anything else.
The Vintage Vice City Pack carries a badge reading "PRE-ORDER BONUS" and is described in Rockstar's copy as featuring a two-tone '55 Vapid. The pre-order window is coded with an end: Microsoft's purchasable availability runs to 2026-11-19T04:59:59Z, one second before the release timestamp.
Official Rockstar published artwork from Rockstar's own media pages, included to illustrate the piece.
Limits
Marketing copy is marketing copy. Everything above is what Rockstar says a buyer gets. None of it has been played by anyone at this desk and none of it is a guarantee about the finished game.
Seven of the nineteen keys did not resolve to a readable description on the page this desk fetched, because they are rendered from a translation dictionary loaded separately. They are listed by key above and no description is invented for them.
Prices are regional and were read in US markets. No UK or EU pricing was read at all; GameStop and Argos returned 403, Best Buy failed at transport and Smyths served an empty shell.
