The GTA VI pre-order bonus is the Vintage Vice City Pack, and Rockstar says it goes to pre-orders and purchases made before 20 November 2026. Digital pre-orders also carry one month of GTA+, listed by Rockstar and PlayStation. Both apply to the Standard and Ultimate editions. Whether the pack will be sold or given out after the deadline has not been announced.
What each bonus is, and who gets it
| Bonus | Status | What is published | Who qualifies | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vintage Vice City Pack | Confirmed by Rockstar (Newswire 24 Jun 2026; Rockstar Store, read 29 Sep) | A '55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern (item list as shown on the Rockstar Store; the Newswire post names the pack but not its items). | Pre-orders and purchases before 20 November 2026, digital or code-in-box. The Rockstar Store marks its own offer "while supplies last". | Rockstar Newswire, Rockstar Store |
| One month of GTA+ | Confirmed by the Rockstar Store (listed as a "Digital Store Pre-Order Bonus") and PlayStation, read 29 Sep | A free month of Rockstar's subscription. PlayStation says to pre-order on PlayStation Store before 20 November 2026, claim by 31 March 2027, and that the month continues into a paid monthly subscription unless cancelled. | Digital pre-orders on both editions. The Rockstar Store lists it as a digital bonus, not for the code-in-box version. | Rockstar Store, PlayStation US |
| Ultimate Edition extras | Confirmed | Separate from the pre-order bonus: story-linked items in the Ultimate Edition only. | Ultimate buyers; Standard owners can upgrade later. | Editions and prices |
| Pack sold or given after 20 Nov | Not announced | Nothing published either way. | Unknown | Nothing published |
| Xbox GTA+ terms | Not confirmed | The Xbox US page read on 28 September carries no GTA+ terms. | Unknown | Xbox product page |
The deadline, precisely
Rockstar's wording is "before November 20" (Newswire) and "Order before November 20" (Rockstar Store); PlayStation says "before November 20, 2026" for the GTA+ month. None of these pages states a time zone or a cut-off hour, so the exact minute is not published. If you plan to buy on launch day, do it early on 19 November and check the storefront's own terms. Nobody has announced a launch-day unlock time (see the unlock time tracker).
Is it worth pre-ordering for the bonus?
That depends on you, and the facts point one way: the pack is cosmetic and vehicle content named by Rockstar, with no published gameplay advantage, and Rockstar has not said the pack disappears afterwards. If you were going to buy on launch day anyway, the deadline costs you nothing; if you were going to wait for reviews, you would give up the pack unless Rockstar makes it available later, which is unannounced. Compare the editions before deciding, and see the launch hub for other dates.
