## You do not get everything at the start

Rockstar says the bonuses "are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter". PlayStation describes the Grotti Cheetah as available for "later-stage action".

## Upgrading later

Standard Edition owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade as a digital add-on from the PlayStation or Microsoft store. Rockstar says owners of the boxed Standard Edition can do so after redeeming their code.

## What both editions share

The same game, and the same pre-order bonus: the [Vintage Vice City Pack](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-vintage-vice-city-pack/) with any purchase prior to November 20, 2026. Digital pre-orders of either edition also include [a month of GTA+](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-gta-plus-free-month/).

## What we could not confirm
