What the Ultimate Edition adds
Rockstar’s store lists these extras. It says they are spread through the story and appear as chapters go by, so you will not have them all at the start.
- Vehicles: ’95 Grotti Cheetah, Shitzu Squalo, ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, Ganado Retro Build, Jason’s safehouse vehicles and a Classic Car Collection
- Weapons: Hawk and Little Morgan revolvers, and personalised weapon variants
- Clothing: Vice City Styles and Goodtime Gear
- Shops and places: Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s mod shops, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305 clothing store, Electric Fang tattoo parlor and the PTT Youngin$ compound
The pre-order bonus
Both editions get the Vintage Vice City Pack if you order before 20 November 2026: a ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan with a garage, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a weapon pattern. Boxed copies include it while supplies last.
Upgrading later
An Ultimate Edition Upgrade can be bought at any time. It is listed at $20 on Xbox, which adds up to the same US price as buying Ultimate outright. The PlayStation Store has not shown its upgrade price to people who do not own the Standard Edition.
What we cannot tell you yet
Whether the extras are worth $20 depends on how they play, and nobody outside Rockstar and reviewers has used them. We will update this page once we have.
