  • One free month of GTA+: included with digital pre-orders.

Which to choose?

  • Standard is enough if you only care about the story and base game.
  • Ultimate is worth the extra $20 if you want the exclusive vehicles/weapons/outfits, extra story-related content and exclusive stores/missions.
  • Standard owners can upgrade to Ultimate later by paying the difference.

What's not included

  • No Collector's Edition has been announced.
  • No early access in either edition.
