This collection of GTA 6 rumors has a better chance of being true than most, and here's why.
Should you buy Grand Theft Auto 6 Ultimate Edition? (All bonuses explained)
The Ultimate Edition from Grand Theft Auto 6 it will cost $100and includes tons of exclusive vehicles, weapons, and clothing that you won't get with the standard edition. Here's the content you'll be missing if you don't buy the Ultimate Edition:
Rideout Customs Mod Shops are exclusive to the Ultimate Editionmeaning that if you don't own the Ultimate Edition, you won't be able to change the customization of the vanilla vehicles.
One-Eyed Willie's is also exclusive to the Ultimate Editionwhere you can make modifications to off-road vehicles that will be perfect for swamps.
Sara's Unisex Salon is also exclusive to Ultimate Edition ownersmeaning if you don't own the Ultimate Edition, you can't get the signature salon styles for Jason and Lucia, which include facial hair (for Jason), makeup, and nails (for Lucia).
The Stock 305 clothing store is another exclusive for those who purchase the Ultimate Editionwhich features different and unique skins for Jason and Lucia that you won't find anywhere else.
The Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor is exclusive to the Ultimate Editionso if you want to get more than 50 signature tattoos for Jason and Lucia from the art collective FAILE, you'll need to get the Ultimate Edition.
There is an exclusive Gang Compound to the Ultimate Edition known as the PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Storewhere you can ambush the Southside Vice City gang and escape with some special items and distinct contraband.
The Ultimate Edition also comes with a special Classic Car Collection commissionand it's here that you can track down a number of abandoned classics and works in progress, restore them to their former glory and sell them to local repairer Wyman.
The Ultimate Edition also includes other goodies that aren't as important as the exclusive missions and shops, but are still worth mentioning below:
-
'95 Grotti Cheetah.
-
Dinka Enduroa Army Motorcycle Kayak and Crest Kayak Stained with Fatigue.
-
'67 Vapid Dominator Buggy.

Pink and Blue Shitzu Squalo Ship.

With regard to GTA 6 The Ultimate Edition is only $20 more expensive than the base version and comes with an exclusive Gang Compound, a special commission, along with 5 exclusive shops, 5 vehicles and more outfits and weapon skins, I recommend getting the Ultimate Edition.
Should you buy Grand Theft Auto 6 Standard Edition? (Pre-Order Bonuses Explained)
Standard Edition Grand Theft Auto 6 it costs 80 dollars. It still comes with a core game that is set to be the deepest and most immersive GTA yet (in Rockstar Games' own words). The only thing you'll be missing are the exclusive extras mentioned above, but the lack of these bonuses won't hinder your experience in any way.
Pre-ordering the Standard Edition still rewards you with the Vintage Vice City Pack (if you buy before November 20). This pack comes with a 1955 Vapid Stanier vehicle, a Tommy Vercetti camo pack, and unique outfits and styles for Jason and Lucia (see above).
If you don't want the bonuses mentioned in the Ultimate Edition, you should still buy the Standard Edition. The $20 difference won't mean you're missing out on tons of content, but you won't be able to access some shops or play two unique activities.
If you can't currently afford the Ultimate Edition, then don't worry; if you change your mind later, you can purchase the Ultimate Edition upgrade separately.
