GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition in Pakistan: Every Extra Item, Price and Which to Buy
GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate in Pakistan: $79.99 against $99.99, the 16 extra cars, guns, looks and shops in Ultimate, why the box is Standard and which to buy.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition costs $20 more than Standard, $99.99 against $79.99 on Sony's and Microsoft's US stores, about Rs 27,700 against Rs 22,100. Both run the same full game. Ultimate adds 16 extra items: cars, a boat, guns, outfits, tattoos and new shops. And one point matters a lot in Pakistan: Ultimate is digital only. The boxed copy you can buy from a shop is always Standard.
We read Rockstar's own edition page, its store page, and Sony's and Microsoft's GTA VI pages on 10 November 2026. GTA 6 unlocks on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Below is every item in each edition, the price on each store, and a plain answer on which one to buy.
GTA 6 Standard and Ultimate run the same game
The story, map and characters are identical in both editions. Ultimate only adds extra in-game items on top. You do not lose any mission or area by buying Standard, and you can upgrade to Ultimate later on Xbox for $20.
Rockstar describes Ultimate as "an exclusive collection of items threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story". In plain words, that means extra vehicles, weapons, clothes and shops that appear as you play. They make the game look and feel different. They do not make it longer.
Both editions also get the same two pre-order bonuses if you buy before launch: the Vintage Vice City Pack and a free month of GTA+. More on those below.
GTA 6 edition prices on each official store
On the US PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, Standard is $79.99 and Ultimate is $99.99. The UAE PlayStation Store, which many Pakistani players use, charges AED 299.16 and AED 373.96. No official store sells GTA 6 in rupees.
| Store | Standard | Ultimate |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation Store US | $79.99 (about Rs 22,100) | $99.99 (about Rs 27,700) |
| Microsoft Store US (Xbox) | $79.99 (about Rs 22,100) | $99.99 (about Rs 27,700) |
| PlayStation Store UAE | AED 299.16 (about Rs 22,500) | AED 373.96 (about Rs 28,200) |
| PlayStation Store UK | £69.99 | £89.99 |
| PlayStation Store India | ₹5,999 | ₹7,499 |
| Xbox Ultimate Edition Upgrade | $20.00 (about Rs 5,500) | |
The rupee figures are our own estimates at the State Bank's interbank rate of Rs 276.66 to the dollar. Your card adds its own conversion charge and tax, so the bank statement will show more. A PlayStation account cannot change its country, so use the store you already have. Our guide to buying GTA 6 in Pakistan covers cards and regions in detail.
Everything the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition adds
Rockstar's edition page lists 16 items that come only with Ultimate. They fall into five groups: vehicles and garages, weapons, looks, special missions and five extra shops that open only for Ultimate owners.
Vehicles and garages
- '95 Grotti Cheetah, a mid 1990s sports car with a retro livery, for later parts of the story.
- Jason's safehouse vehicles, a Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest kayak.
- Shitzu Squalo, a pink and blue speedboat docked at Washington Beach, with a weapons crate.
- '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and garage, an off-road buggy stored at the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay.
Weapons
- Hawk and Little Morgan revolvers, his and hers revolvers with palm-tree grips and a scope.
- Personalised weapon variants, engraved versions of Jason's and Lucia's pistols.
Looks
- Vice City Style, exclusive outfits, hairstyles and tattoos.
- Goodtime Gear, clothes themed on Macca the Gator, a TV character inside the game.
Special missions and builds
- Ganado Retro Build, exclusive mods for Jason's pickup truck.
- Classic Car Collection, a side job to find and restore old project cars.
- PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store, listed on Rockstar's edition page.
Shops open only in Ultimate
- Rideout Customs mod shop
- Sara's Unisex Salon
- Stock 305 clothing store
- Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor, with more than 50 tattoos
- One-Eyed Willie's off-road mod shop
Pre-order bonuses come with both GTA 6 editions
Buy either edition before launch and you get the Vintage Vice City Pack. Buy digitally from the PlayStation Store before 20 November 2026 and you also get one free month of GTA+. These are not reasons to pick Ultimate, because Standard gets them too.
Rockstar says the Vintage Vice City Pack includes a two-tone '55 Vapid Stanier sedan and garage, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a weapon pattern. The GTA+ month is a subscription that renews and charges you after the free month. Sony's page says you must claim it by 31 March 2027, it renews on its own, and it can be claimed once per account. Our GTA+ guide shows how to claim it and how to stop the charge.
Boxed GTA 6 is Standard only, and has no disc
Rockstar's store page lists the boxed version as "code in box" and says plainly: "A disc will not be included in the box." Inside is a download code for the Standard Edition. Ultimate is sold only as a digital download.
This matters if you planned to buy from a shop in Hall Road, Saddar or a mall. The box holds a code, and the code is tied to a store region. Rockstar says code-in-box shipping starts on 12 November 2026. Before you pay a shop, ask which region the code is for and check that it matches your account. A Standard box can still be upgraded on Xbox, where Microsoft sells the $20 Ultimate Edition Upgrade.
Which GTA 6 edition to buy in Pakistan
Buy Standard if you want the full game for the lowest price, or a shop box. Buy Ultimate only if you will spend time on cars, clothes and tattoos, and you are happy paying about Rs 5,500 more. The story is the same either way.
- Decide if you want a boxed copy. If yes, that is Standard, so stop here.
- Check which store your account is on: US, UAE, UK or another.
- Compare the two prices on that store. The gap is $20 on the US stores.
- Pick Ultimate only if the extra cars, shops and looks are worth that gap to you.
- Pre-order before 19 November to get the Vintage Vice City Pack either way.
On Xbox, there is a safe middle path. Buy Standard now, and buy the $20 Ultimate Edition Upgrade later if you want it. Sony's page lists an Ultimate upgrade add-on too, but it showed as "Pre-Order Unavailable" when we checked. Also clear space first: the download is 212 GB, as our GTA 6 storage guide explains.
Common questions about GTA 6 editions
These are the questions Pakistani players ask most about the two editions, answered from Rockstar's, Sony's and Microsoft's own pages.
Is GTA 6 Ultimate Edition worth it?
Only if you care about extra cars, guns, outfits and five extra shops. The story and map are the same as Standard. The gap is $20, about Rs 5,500.
Can I buy GTA 6 Ultimate Edition on a disc?
No. Rockstar lists Ultimate as digital only. The boxed version is Standard, and it holds a download code, not a disc.
Can I upgrade from Standard to Ultimate later?
On Xbox, yes. Microsoft sells the Ultimate Edition Upgrade for $20. Sony lists an upgrade add-on, but it was not available to pre-order on 10 November.
Do both editions get the pre-order bonus?
Yes. Both get the Vintage Vice City Pack. A digital pre-order on the PlayStation Store before 20 November also gets one free month of GTA+.
Is GTA 6 Ultimate cheaper on the UAE store?
No. AED 373.96 works out to about Rs 28,200, a little more than the US price of $99.99, about Rs 27,700, before card charges.
Does GTA 6 have an online mode in either edition?
Not at launch. Sony's GTA VI page says the game is a single-player experience. Neither edition adds online play.
