Buy GTA 6 before November 20, 2026 and you get the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital copies bought on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store also come with a free month of GTA+, and digital orders can preload the game seven days early. Here is every bonus, who gets it, and how to claim it on each console.

The Vintage Vice City Pack
This is the main preorder bonus, and it works with both the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition. Rockstar’s editions page lists it as a preorder bonus for both, and the Standard Edition counts whether you buy it digitally or as a code in a box. According to the Xbox store listing, it contains:
- The ‘55 Vapid Stanier, a two-tone 1950s sedan that the listing suggests cruising down Shore Drive.
- The Shore Court garage, near Ocean Beach in Vice City. It has a weapon locker and, in Rockstar’s words, “a secure place to deposit stolen goods to be fenced.”
- Jason’s vintage pastel linen suit and Lucia’s red sequin mini dress.
- Retro hairstyles: a period cut for Jason and curls for Lucia.
- A tropical palm tree weapon pattern for most guns, based on Tommy Vercetti’s palm tree button-up shirt from the 2002 game Vice City.
The listing says all items become available to Jason and Lucia as their story progresses. Rockstar has not said at which point in the story each one unlocks, so do not expect everything in the first few minutes.
The deadline: which store says what
The stores word the cut-off slightly differently:
- Take-Two and the Rockstar Store: all preorders and purchases before November 20, 2026. The Rockstar Store adds “while supplies last”.
- PlayStation Store: preorder or buy the Standard or Ultimate Edition by November 19, 2026.
- Xbox (Microsoft Store): purchases made before 19 November 2026, 23:59:59. The listing does not give a time zone.
The practical rule: order on or before November 19, launch day. Rockstar has not announced any way to get the pack after the deadline.
The free month of GTA+
GTA+ is Rockstar’s paid membership for GTA Online, the online mode of GTA V. It is not GTA 6 content, and Rockstar has not said it will add anything to GTA 6. Read our GTA+ explainer for what members get and what it costs after the free month.
The month comes with digital copies of the Standard or Ultimate Edition bought on the console stores. The code-in-box version is not listed as eligible. The Rockstar Store page also lists a free month of GTA+ with both editions but does not explain the redemption steps on the page itself, so check its FAQ before you buy there.
How to claim on PlayStation 5
- Preorder or buy the digital Standard or Ultimate Edition on the PlayStation Store on or before November 19, 2026.
- Watch for the confirmation email. It contains the GTA+ redemption instructions.
- Open the GTA+ product page on the PlayStation Store and follow the on-screen steps. The checkout costs nothing.
- Claim it by March 31, 2027, at a time that suits you.
Things to know:
- The separate Ultimate Edition Upgrade is not eligible for the GTA+ offer on PlayStation.
- One claim per account, no matter how many purchases you make, and only on the account that bought the game.
- Existing members can stack the month onto their current membership.
- After the free month, GTA+ renews at the normal monthly price. To avoid being charged, cancel under Subscriptions Management in your account settings before the next payment date.
- PlayStation’s terms exclude a few countries, including China and the Russian Federation, and you must meet the age requirements for both games.
How to claim on Xbox Series X|S
- Buy the digital Standard or Ultimate Edition on the Microsoft Store before 19 November 2026, 23:59:59.
- Wait for a pop-up on your console saying the GTA+ month is ready to redeem.
- Open the Store, select your profile icon in the top left corner, then Offers & credits.
- Redeem it within 180 days of placing your preorder.
Things to know:
- Child accounts with restrictions on age-restricted content cannot redeem the membership.
- One redemption per platform account.
Boxed copies and the Rockstar Store
- Boxed copies are the Standard Edition only and hold a download code, not a disc. They qualify for the Vintage Vice City Pack if bought before the deadline, but not for the GTA+ month. Rockstar says physical copies go on sale on November 12 so buyers can preload.
- Rockstar Store orders placed before November 20 get the Vintage Vice City Pack while supplies last. Compare every store in our where to buy GTA 6 guide.
The 7 day preload
The PlayStation listing includes a “7-Day Pre-load” for both editions, and Rockstar’s store page says preloading begins on November 12, 2026. Take-Two says players who preorder a digital version can start then. On PS5, the store notes that auto-download needs Automatic Login and Auto Sign-In switched on. The game still unlocks on November 19. Details are in our preload date post.
What is not a preorder bonus
- The Ultimate Edition extras. The extra cars, weapons, outfits and shops belong to an edition, not a preorder deal. You can buy the Ultimate Edition at $99.99, or add the Ultimate Edition Upgrade to the Standard Edition later; the Xbox Store lists it at $20. The store listings say those items appear as you reach each chapter.
- GTA+ perks inside GTA 6. The free month only covers GTA Online.
- The collector’s box. The $399.99 Goodtime State collector’s box does not include the game.
