GTA 6 packs explained: Vintage Vice City Pack vs Ultimate Upgrade vs GTA+

By Launch Answers team · Last checked 14 Nov 2026

At launch there are only three official GTA 6 extras: the free Vintage Vice City Pack for early buyers, the paid Ultimate Edition Upgrade, and a free month of GTA+ (which is for GTA 5's GTA Online). No GTA 6 Shark Cards, currency packs or starter packs have been announced.

Extra	Cost	How you get it
Vintage Vice City Pack	Free	Included with qualifying purchases before the deadline. Items unlock as the story progresses.
Ultimate Edition Upgrade	£20.00 on the Xbox UK store (Ultimate Edition £89.99)	Buy the Ultimate Edition, or upgrade a Standard copy later.
One month of GTA+	Free, then regular monthly price	Digital purchases only. Must be claimed. Full guide.

Vintage Vice City Pack

The Xbox UK listing describes a '55 Vapid Stanier sedan with a garage near Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for both main characters, and a tropical weapon pattern.

Deadline: the Xbox UK store says it comes with digital purchases made before 19 November 2026 23:59:59. Take-Two's pre-order announcement said all pre-orders and purchases before 20 November 2026 include it. If you are buying a boxed copy, check the retailer's listing to confirm the pack is included.

There is no separate code for digital buyers. The items appear in the game as the story moves on, so do not panic if they are not there in the first hour.

Ultimate Edition Upgrade

This is the paid add-on. The Xbox UK listing describes premium vehicles, weapons, outfits, tattoos and extra shops spread across the story, with new items appearing chapter by chapter. On the Xbox UK store the upgrade is listed at £20.00, and the Ultimate Edition bundle at £89.99.

You do not have to decide on day one. PlayStation says upgrades from the digital Standard Edition and the boxed code-in-box Standard Edition are available from PlayStation Store only.

GTA+ month

This is a subscription for GTA Online in GTA 5, not GTA 6. On PS5, claim by 31 March 2027 and cancel before it renews if you do not want to pay. Buying only the Ultimate upgrade does not qualify. Read the GTA+ guide.

Are there GTA 6 Shark Cards or currency packs?

None have been announced. Shark Cards are a GTA Online (GTA 5) product. Notebookcheck reported that Rockstar North's co-studio head told Kinda Funny Games there is no real-money purchasing in the single-player game, and that Rockstar would not discuss the next GTA Online.

You may notice an "In-Game Purchases" label on the store pages. That label appears on the Xbox UK listings, and the paid Ultimate Upgrade exists, but no GTA 6 currency shop has been announced. If you see "GTA 6 Shark Cards" for sale anywhere, treat it as a red flag.

What about car, weapon or character packs from other sites?

On PS5 and Xbox the only official add-ons are the ones above, sold through PlayStation Store and the Xbox store. Rockstar's fan-content policy lists selling accounts, illegitimate in-game money or items, and unauthorised mods as cheating it will act on. We will not link to or explain those services. Why to stick to official stores.
