Two editions, not three

Forget the usual Standard / Deluxe / Collector structure. Rockstar goes direct: two digital editions only, Standard and Ultimate. No physical collector edition announced at launch. The physical version exists, but it is a code in the box: a retail box containing a download code, no Blu-ray disc.

If you want to play on day one without waiting for delivery, digital is the only reliable option. For those who want a physical box, the code in the box is available at select retailers including Amazon.

The Ultimate Edition: what you get

Twenty dollars more than Standard. What it buys:

Vehicles

• '95 Grotti Cheetah: classic sports car.
• Dinka Enduro motorcycle + Crest kayak: Jason's safehouse vehicles.
• Vapid Ganado modkit: Jason's low-riding pickup, customized.
• Shitzu Squalo: boat.
• '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy + Paradise Garage at Watson Bay.

Weapons

• Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers: the signature pair.
• Personalized variants of Jason's Girardi ES9 and Lucia's Klose K17 pistols.

Exclusive shops

• Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie's: vehicle customization.
• Sara's Unisex Salon: hairstyles.
• Stock 305: clothing.
• Electric Fang Tattoo: tattoos.

Additional content

• Exclusive outfits, tattoos and Goodtime Gear for Jason and Lucia.

• Vintage outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia: 1950s Vice City.
• Tommy Vercetti-inspired weapon motif: a direct nod to the original.

If you pre-order Standard and decide to upgrade to Ultimate before November 19, the Vintage Vice City Pack carries over. It is tied to the purchase, not the edition.
