Is There a GTA 6 Collector's Edition or Deluxe Edition?
The short answer
Rockstar’s US$399.99 Vice City Collection contains 11 listed merchandise entries, including a Leonida map poster, but no game, so Standard and Ultimate remain the two game editions and the collection, limited DualSense controllers and soundtrack formats must be considered as separate purchases.

Background and full explanationFurther context and details
Is there a GTA 6 collector’s edition?
Rockstar has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, a separate physical merchandise box priced at US$399.99. It includes 11 listed merchandise entries and a map poster, but does not include GTA 6. It is not a third game edition alongside Standard and Ultimate.
A game edition named Deluxe or Special has not been announced. For a purchase that includes the game, the announced choices remain Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition; the collection, controllers and album formats are separate products.
What is inside the Vice City Collection?
The official merchandise list contains these 11 entries:
- Macca the Gator figure.
- Oakley Frogskins sunglasses.
- Leonida Keys crossbody bag.
- New Era 9FORTY cap.
- Macca the Gator magnetic mirror.
- Chunkee the Manatee shot glass.
- Vice City collectible stirring spoon.
- Vice City razor keychain.
- Leonida Keys enamel pins in a tin.
- Leonida Keys sticker pack in a bag.
- Double-sided souvenir poster with a Leonida map.
The pins and sticker pack each count as one list entry, rather than one individual piece. Eleven is therefore the number of listed products, not a guarantee of eleven separate physical pieces. Rockstar’s September 24 announcement described limited preorders; the recorded product price is in US dollars and the collection does not qualify for free shipping.
A delivery date, regional shipping eligibility and remaining stock were not established by the recorded product-page checks. Check those conditions at checkout instead of treating the merchandise announcement as a dispatch guarantee or converting US$399.99 into a promised local total.
Does the poster reveal the complete map?
The product description says the reverse of the poster has a complete Leonida map. That supports saying a map poster is included. The inspected promotional image, however, shows character art and a partly obscured poster behind it; it does not allow the full road network and boundaries to be read.
The poster should therefore not be used to calculate map area, trace travel routes or claim that the complete playable map has already been revealed in a readable image. An included physical map and a publicly readable map image are different things. The map guide covers the official regions without inventing roads or measurements.
What do the two game editions contain?
Standard Edition supplies the game in digital form or as a boxed download code with no disc. Ultimate Edition is digital only and adds 16 entries covering vehicles, weapons, clothing and activities or establishments. Named examples include the ‘95 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, Personalized Weapon Variants, Shitzu Squalo and Classic Car Collection.
Those are in-game extras, not merchandise shipped with the game. Rockstar says the Ultimate bonuses appear as Jason and Lucia’s story progresses through chapters; there is no published chapter-by-chapter unlock list. Standard owners can separately buy the Ultimate upgrade, with boxed owners redeeming their code first, but its standalone price has not been announced.
The Vintage Vice City Pack is a separate purchase-window bonus. It includes the two-tone ‘55 Vapid Stanier and a garage by Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for both protagonists, and a weapon pattern. Eligible digital purchases before November 20 receive the pack and a GTA+ month; the subscription renews after the free month unless cancelled. None of those digital benefits makes the merchandise collection a game bundle.
How do game prices compare by region?
These recorded prices are for the game editions, ordered Standard / Ultimate:
| Store region | Game prices |
|---|---|
| US PlayStation / Xbox | US$79.99 / US$99.99 |
| UK PlayStation / Xbox | £69.99 / £89.99 |
| Spain PlayStation / Xbox | €79.99 / €99.99 |
| Taiwan PlayStation / Xbox | NT$2,320 / NT$2,900 |
| Hong Kong PlayStation | HK$568 / HK$708 |
| Japan PlayStation | ¥9,800 / ¥12,280 |
The wider regional price check is dated October 6, with Taiwan and Hong Kong details recorded in September. These prices do not include the collection or a controller. For a complete purchase budget, keep the game, merchandise price, shipping and any applicable duties separate.
What about the limited DualSense and soundtrack?
Sony announced Black and White GTA VI DualSense controllers on September 3, with preorders beginning September 10. Both have colour-shifting finishes and moulded palm-leaf details, and launch alongside the game. Recommended prices are US$84.99, €84.99, £74.99 and ¥12,480 including Japanese tax; actual store prices can differ.
Availability is limited globally, and the recorded PlayStation Direct black-controller listing limits orders to one. A corresponding Xbox controller, a controller-and-game bundle and a restock plan have not been announced. Compatibility of the controller with PC, Mac or mobile devices does not announce GTA VI on those platforms.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album also has separately sold vinyl and CD editions, including limited pressings and retailer colour variants. Those music products do not provide a game licence or turn Ultimate Edition into a physical collector bundle.
