GTA 6 reveals its ultimate edition content and vintage Vice City-themed preorder bonuses

You’ll never guess what – there’s been some actual GTA 6 news. Not the kind of convoluted nonsense you keep seeing on your news feed, but significant new info from developer Rockstar detailing all the preorder bonus items in its Vintage Vice City pack, and in the Ultimate Edition.

Let’s start with the latter. Preorders don’t go live until midnight on 25 June and prices haven’t been revealed yet, but what’s clear is that the Ultimate Edition has some pretty chunky additions.

Or, as Rockstar puts it, “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner".

The really interesting bit is how this bonus content is distributed throughout the game. Generally items are present in your inventory from the start in most games, but here “new items [are] uncovered behind each chapter”, apparently.

Onto the content. The headline act is a ’95 Grotti Cheetah, the GTA equivalent of a Ferrari Testarossa. There’s also a set of his ‘n’ hers Morgan revolvers from Hawk & Little with exclusive customisation elements like engravings. 

There are exclusive outfits and tattoos for dual protagonists Lucia and Jason, and two safehouse vehicles for Jason: the Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest kayak. His Vapid Ganado, meanwhile, gets an exclusive retro mod kit. 

A custom tuner shop, Rideout Customs, will also be available only via the Ultimate Edition, as is One-Eyed Willies, another customs shop that specialises in elaborate custom paintwork. We hope that doesn’t mean there won’t be any vehicle tuning shops available to standard edition owners.

It sounds like there’s also something akin to Forza Horizon’s barn finds: “Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalise them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman.”

The list goes on, covering a long list of cosmetic items, stores, vehicles and weapons. The main takeaway? Rockstar really wants you to buy the Ultimate Edition.

And there’s more. The Vintage Vice City pack, available only if you preorder the game, contains vehicles and outfits that hark back to the ‘80s Miami Vice-coded Vice City of the original 2002 release. Whether you’re prepared to commit financially to a tight perm and rolled up blazer sleeves is, of course, entirely up to you.
