As with any game, Grand Theft Auto 6 comes in several different editions available to purchase across the platforms on which the game will be released. Like most companies, Take-Two and Rockstar are offering several options with different prices and content to choose from. Here, we'll break down the different editions confirmed for the platforms on which the game will be available at launch: Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC.
Technically, there is a physical edition of GTA VI, in the sense that it comes in a physical box. However, the box only contains a download code for the game and does not include a disc.
The first thing you need to know is that if you preorder the game ahead of its release, you'll receive the Vintage Vice City DLC. This preorder bonus is available on every platform on which the game will be released, whether you buy the physical or digital version, with one exception noted below.
As you'd expect, the Standard Edition gives you access to the game, without any extras beyond the bonus DLC if you preorder before release or any additional bonuses that individual retailers may offer when you purchase the game, although none have been confirmed so far. The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC, where it can be purchased either physically—remember that this version contains a code rather than a disc—or digitally through each platform's respective store.
The Ultimate Edition of Grand Theft Auto 6 is only available digitally. It includes the base game and a substantial amount of DLC content, ranging from exclusive vehicles to special missions and stores that will only be available if you own this edition. You'll also be able to pay to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition later if you initially purchase the Standard Edition and decide that you want access to all the additional content.
There has been no announcement so far regarding any kind of Collector's Edition featuring items such as a steelbook case, art book, postcards or anything similar.
