You’ll never guess what—there’s been some actual Grand Theft Auto VI news. Not the kind of convoluted nonsense you keep seeing on your news feed, but significant new info from developer Rockstar detailing all the preorder bonus items in its Vintage Vice City pack, and in the Ultimate Edition.
Let’s start with the latter. Preorders went live on June 25, and prices start at $79.99 (around P4,990), but the $99.99 (around P6,100) Ultimate Edition has some pretty chunky additions.
Or, as Rockstar puts it, “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner.”

The really interesting bit is how this bonus content is distributed throughout the game. Generally, items are present in your inventory from the start in most games, but here “new items [are] uncovered behind each chapter,” apparently.
On to the content. The headline act is a 1995 Grotti Cheetah, the GTA equivalent of a Ferrari Testarossa. There’s also a set of his ’n’ hers Morgan revolvers from Hawk & Little with exclusive customization elements like engravings.
There are exclusive outfits and tattoos for dual protagonists Lucia and Jason, and two safehouse vehicles for Jason: the Dinka Enduro motorcycle and Crest kayak. His Vapid Ganado, meanwhile, gets an exclusive retro mod kit.
A custom tuner shop, Rideout Customs, will also be available only via the Ultimate Edition, as is One-Eyed Willies, another custom shop that specializes in elaborate custom paintwork. We hope that doesn’t mean there won’t be any vehicle tuning shops available to standard edition owners.
It sounds like there’s also something akin to Forza Horizon’s barn finds: “Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalise them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman.”
The list goes on, covering a long list of cosmetic items, stores, vehicles, and weapons. The main takeaway? Rockstar really wants you to buy the Ultimate Edition.
And there’s more. The Vintage Vice City pack, available only if you preorder the game, contains vehicles and outfits that hark back to the ’80s Miami Vice-coded Vice City of the original 2002 release. Whether you’re prepared to commit financially to a tight perm and rolled-up blazer sleeves is, of course, entirely up to you.
