• Confirmed Ultimate is the game plus the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. Standard owners can buy the upgrade on its own at any time from the PlayStation or Microsoft store (Rockstar Support).

What’s in the Ultimate Edition Upgrade

Confirmed Rockstar lists these items, which unlock across Jason and Lucia’s story, with new ones after each chapter (Rockstar Support, PlayStation Store):

• Vehicles: ‘95 Grotti Cheetah, Shitzu Squalo, ‘67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and garage, Jason’s safehouse vehicles (a Dinka Enduro and a Crest kayak), the Ganado Retro Build and a Classic Car Collection.
• Weapons: Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers, and personalised Girardi ES9 and Klose K17 pistols.
• Looks: Vice City Styles and Goodtime Gear clothing.
• Businesses only Ultimate owners can use: Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s mod shops, Sara’s Unisex Salon, the Stock 305 clothing store and the Electric Fang tattoo parlour.
• A gang base: the PTT Youngin$ Compound.

The pre-order bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack

• Confirmed Digital orders of either edition made before 20 November 2026, and all boxed pre-orders, get the Vintage Vice City Pack: a ‘55 Vapid Stanier sedan with a garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern (Rockstar Support).
• Confirmed Digital orders before 20 November also include one month of GTA+. Claim it by 31 March 2027. It renews as a paid subscription unless you cancel (PlayStation Store).

So if you’re still deciding, buy before 20 November to keep the bonus.

Is Ultimate worth the extra $20?

That’s your call, but here’s how we’d think about it. Ultimate adds no extra story. You get vehicles, guns, clothes, and five shops you can’t use without it. If you like customising cars and outfits, the two mod shops alone make it tempting. If you just want the story, Standard is the same game, and you can upgrade later if you change your mind.

The “Goodtime State” collector’s box

Confirmed Rockstar sold a premium collectible set, The Goodtime State: Vice City Collection, inspired by Leonida’s in-game TV show Macca the Gator (Rockstar Newswire). GamesRadar+ lists it at $399.99 (£349.99) with a Macca figure, sunglasses and a cap, and notes the game itself is not included (GamesRadar+). Buy the game separately.
