Every copy of GTA 6 bought before Nov 20, 2026 comes with the Vintage Vice City Pack, whether it is Standard or Ultimate, digital or the boxed code. Digital pre-orders on PS5 and Xbox also get a free month of GTA+. So if you buy on launch day, you still get the pack. confirmed
Pre-orders opened at midnight local time on June 25, 2026. (A fan wiki’s claim that they opened on Sept 10 via PlayStation Direct is wrong: Sept 10 was when the limited-edition DualSense controllers went up for pre-order.) debunked
What is in the Vintage Vice City Pack?
Per Consequence, VICE, gtasix.org and Xbox Wire: reported
| Item | What it is |
|---|---|
| Two-tone ‘55 Vapid Stanier | A classic sedan; see GTA 6 vehicles |
| Shore Court Garage | A garage near Ocean Beach in Vice City |
| 1980s Vice City outfits and hairstyles | Exclusive looks for Jason and Lucia, including a pastel linen suit |
| Tropical-pattern weapon skin | Rockstar says it is “inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s iconic palm tree button-up” |
The pack leans hard on the 2002 Vice City. The Vercetti nods are part of a pattern in Rockstar’s own material; we collect them in trailer easter eggs and track the Tommy Vercetti return rumour separately.
What is the deadline?
- Rockstar: “all pre-orders and purchases before Nov 20”. confirmed (as quoted)
- Xbox Wire: “before 19 November 2026 at 23:59:59”. confirmed
Those mean the same thing: buy any time up to the end of launch day. Xbox Wire does not say which time zone the 23:59:59 cutoff uses, so if you are buying late on Nov 19, do not leave it to the last minute.
Who gets the free month of GTA+?
Digital pre-orders on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The boxed copy does not include it. confirmed (Xbox Wire; Rockstar Support as quoted)
| Platform | Terms |
|---|---|
| Xbox | Redeem within 180 days, once per platform account; not available to restricted child accounts. Claim under Store, then your profile, then “Offers & credits”. confirmed |
| PS5 | Sony reportedly also counts PS Store digital purchases made through Nov 19, with the month claimable until Mar 31, 2027. reported |
Does it auto-renew?
Reportedly yes, at about $8 a month, unless you cancel. games.gg flagged it. reported If you do not want to keep paying, turn off auto-renew right after you redeem.
What does GTA+ actually give you?
GTA+ is Rockstar’s membership for GTA Online on GTA V, plus a back catalogue of Rockstar games. It does nothing inside GTA 6’s single-player story. Rockstar has not said whether GTA+ will carry over to any future GTA VI online mode. Our GTA+ explainer covers the benefits and the fine print.
Did VICE’s list say the Stanier was a Standard bonus?
Yes, and it is probably wrong. VICE’s June 24 article lists the Stanier and the weapon skins as Standard pre-order bonuses and adds pistols, a Dinka Enduro and a Crest Kayak to the Ultimate list. That does not match Rockstar Support’s wording as quoted by gtasix.org. Stick with the pack contents above. debunked
Is the Ultimate Edition a pre-order bonus?
No. Ultimate is a separate $99.99 edition with 16 extra items, and you can buy it any time or upgrade later for the difference ($20 on Xbox). See price and editions and our which edition to buy guide.
What we’re watching
- Whether the Vintage Vice City Pack is sold separately after Nov 20. Rockstar has not said.
- Whether the GTA+ month links to a future GTA VI online mode, which is not announced.
