Editions & Pre order

Standard Edition ($79.99) — The complete single-player game. The physical release contains a download code rather than a disc, and owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade separately at any time.

Ultimate Edition ($99.99, digital only) — Base game plus the Ultimate Edition Upgrade: the '95 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers, personalized weapon variants, Vice City Styles apparel, Jason's safehouse vehicles, a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with Paradise Garage, the Shitzu Squalo and a Ganado retro build, plus five Ultimate-only venues (Rideout Customs, Sara's Unisex Salon, Stock 305, Electric Fang Tattoo and One-Eyed Willie's) and the PTT Youngin$ Compound and Classic Car Collection side content. Items unlock as the story progresses.

Ultimate Edition Upgrade — Sold separately on PS5 and Xbox for anyone who bought Standard first, so starting with the cheaper edition does not lock you out.

Vintage Vice City Pack (pre-order bonus, both editions) — Included with purchases made before November 20, 2026: a '55 Vapid Stanier with the Shore Court garage near Ocean Beach, vintage outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a tropical weapon pattern. Digital pre-orders also include one month of GTA+.
