GTA 6 Vintage Vice City Pack vs Ultimate Edition: Don't Confuse the Three Bonuses

Overview

What this guide is for

If you pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI, three different "bonuses" get thrown around — and buyers constantly confuse them. The Vintage Vice City Pack is the free pre-order bonus that comes with any pre-order, on both editions. It is not the same as the Ultimate Edition's exclusive content, and not the same as the free month of GTA+. Here's exactly what's in the Vintage Vice City Pack, and how it differs from the other two.

What's in the Vintage Vice City Pack

The pack is a nostalgia bundle built around the classic, Miami-Vice-era feel of the original Vice City. Every item is cosmetic — it's a vibe, not an edge.

• A two-tone 1955 Vapid Stanier classic sedan.
• The Shore Court Garage near Ocean Beach, with a weapon locker and a Fence drop-off point.
• A pastel linen suit for Jason and a red sequin mini dress (with a curly hairstyle) for Lucia.
• A palm-tree weapon pattern echoing Tommy Vercetti's shirt from GTA: Vice City.

Three bonuses people mix up

Here's the disambiguation that saves you money. These are three separate things:

Before paying, compare the edition name and the benefits shown in the checkout summary. The Vintage Vice City Pack is a pre-order benefit, the Ultimate Edition extras are edition-specific content, and GTA+ is a subscription offer with its own terms. One label does not automatically include the other two.

• Vintage Vice City Pack — free with any pre-order, both editions. The items above.
• Ultimate Edition content — the additional content tied specifically to the higher-priced edition. See our editions comparison.
• Free GTA+ month — a one-month subscription code, unrelated to either; mind its auto-renew.

How and when to claim it

There's no separate step to "claim" the pack beyond pre-ordering: place any GTA VI pre-order before launch and the Vintage Vice City Pack is attached to it. The content unlocks in-game rather than needing a code.

The only real deadline is the November 19, 2026 launch — pre-order by November 18 to be safe. If you're still deciding which edition, our pre-order guide walks through where to buy and the deadlines that matter.

Keep the order confirmation and verify that the purchase uses the same platform account and region you intend to play on. If the benefit is missing after release, those details give the retailer or platform support the information needed to check eligibility.
