Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar Games’ single-player action adventure set in Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, following Jason and Lucia after a failed score draws them into a criminal conspiracy. Rockstar lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, with launch scheduled worldwide for November 19, 2026. The US stores list a $79.99 Standard Edition and a $99.99 Ultimate Edition.

The Standard Edition is the straightforward choice for the campaign. Ultimate adds a large bundle of vehicles, weapons, clothing, properties and customisation items.

Which platforms and versions are announced?
Rockstar has announced only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. The PlayStation product is PS5 Pro Enhanced, and Xbox marks its version as optimised for Xbox Series X|S. No PC SKU or PC hardware specification appears on the official pages checked on October 28, 2026, so a PC buying decision cannot be made from official requirements.
Is there multiplayer, crossplay or split-screen?
Both consoles receive the announced worldwide release on November 19, 2026. Rockstar’s own pre-order article calls the game single-player, and the PlayStation listing explicitly says one player and offline play.
What are the US editions and prices?
The Standard Edition costs $79.99 in the US on both PlayStation and Xbox. Ultimate costs $99.99, and Xbox lists the separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade at $20.00.
What is included in Ultimate?
Ultimate is an add-on bundle threaded through Jason and Lucia’s story. Rockstar lists vehicles, revolvers, weapon variants, clothing, properties, shops, a garage, a tattoo parlor and a classic car collection; Standard owners may buy the upgrade later.
Is there paid DLC or a pre-order bonus?
The Vintage Vice City Pack is a pre-order bonus rather than a separately priced expansion. Purchases before November 20, 2026 include the pack and one month of GTA+; the Xbox store separately prices the Ultimate Edition Upgrade at $20.00.
What age rating does it have?
ESRB rates the game Mature 17+ for blood and gore, intense violence, mature humor, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, drugs and alcohol, and in-game purchases. USK’s German entry gives it no youth release and cites drastic violence, drugs and criminal role models.

FAQ
When is Grand Theft Auto VI released?
The announced launch date is November 19, 2026, and both listed console platforms share that date in the worldwide announcement.
Can I play the campaign offline?
Yes. PlayStation describes offline play, while Xbox lists cloud saves; both storefronts identify a single-player game.
Does the physical version include a disc?
The physical package is a download code in a box and does not contain a disc. Rockstar says codes support pre-loading from November 12, 2026.
What does Ultimate add?
The Ultimate Edition adds the Ultimate Edition Upgrade content, while the Standard Edition contains the game and can be upgraded later through the platform store.
Our take
Choose Standard on the console you already use if the campaign is your priority; it costs $79.99 and can be upgraded later. Choose Ultimate at $99.99 if the listed vehicles, weapons, clothing, properties and customisation items matter to you. PlayStation 5 offers offline play, one player, Remote Play and PS5 Pro enhancements. Xbox Series X|S offers single-player, cloud saves and 13 languages. Before ordering, check the Mature 17+ or German no-youth rating, remember that the physical package is a download code without a disc, and note that digital pre-orders before November 20, 2026 include one month of GTA+ that can auto-renew. Official pages do not confirm PC, multiplayer, crossplay or cross-progression.
Best for: Players seeking a solo crime story on current-generation consoles; Players who want offline campaign support on PlayStation 5; Players who value Xbox cloud saves or 13-language support.
Not for: PC buyers waiting for an official platform announcement; Players specifically seeking a confirmed online multiplayer mode or crossplay.
Which version: Standard for the core single-player purchase; Ultimate for its extensive bonus bundle
