1. How much do you care about exclusive cosmetics, shops, and bonus vehicles?
2. Are you buying physical or digital?
3. Do you want everything unlocked on day one, or don't mind waiting?

WHICH PRE-ORDER BONUS DO I GET?
The pre-order bonus is separate from your edition choice.

Included with either edition — Standard or Ultimate — and with both boxed (code-in-box) and digital copies, as long as the game is purchased or pre-ordered before November 20, 2026.
Digital buyers also receive one month of GTA+ membership.
Boxed copies become available starting November 12, 2026 — the same date digital preload opens — to support preloading.
