The GTA 6 pre-order bonus is the Vintage Vice City Pack. Here is what it includes, the free GTA+ month for digital buyers, and the 19 November cut-off.

The GTA 6 pre-order bonus

The GTA 6 pre-order bonus is the Vintage Vice City Pack, a set of in-game items that Rockstar says will "flash back to when the neon burned brightest". Rockstar says all Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders and purchases before 20 November get it, whichever edition you choose. Digital pre-orders also come with a free month of GTA+.

To be safe, buy by 19 November 2026, launch day. The section on the deadline below explains why.

What the Vintage Vice City Pack contains

Rockstar's GTA VI page lists four parts to the pack.

  • A two-tone '55 Vapid Stanier sedan, a classic car for cruising Shore Drive
  • The Shore Court personal garage, a stone's throw from Ocean Beach, with a weapon locker and a secure place to deposit stolen goods to be fenced
  • Outfits and hairstyles for both leads: a vintage pastel linen suit for Jason, and a red sequin mini dress and curls for Lucia
  • A weapon pattern for most guns, inspired by Tommy Vercetti's palm tree shirt

The deadline: buy by 19 November

Rockstar's Newswire post of 24 June 2026 says all pre-orders and purchases before November 20 will get the Vintage Vice City Pack. AllThings.how, updated 22 September 2026, reports that the PlayStation and Xbox store listings now read "Purchase prior to 19 November 2026 at 23:59:59".

These describe the same cut-off: the end of 19 November. Before 20 November and up to 23:59:59 on 19 November are one moment. Neither Rockstar nor the store wording gives a time zone, so the safe advice is to buy by launch day, 19 November 2026, rather than leaving it to the last hour.

The cut-off covers purchases as well as pre-orders, so buying on launch day still qualifies. Buying on 20 November or later does not, under Rockstar's wording.

The free month of GTA+

Pre-ordering any edition digitally on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store adds a free month of GTA+, according to Rockstar and MP1st. MP1st says the month can be redeemed immediately on pre-order, must be redeemed before an expiry date, and is limited to one redemption per platform account. After the free month, the membership renews monthly at the regular price until you cancel, so set a reminder if you do not want to keep paying.

Rockstar's page describes GTA+ as a GTA Online membership with a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit, Shark Cards with 15% bonus GTA$, free and discounted GTA Online vehicles and a rotating games library. The perks apply to GTA Online, not to GTA VI itself.

Physical pre-orders

A physical copy contains a download code rather than a disc, and Rockstar says the physical version is available from 12 November to support pre-loading. Rockstar's cut-off applies to all pre-orders and purchases. The Sixth Axis reports that physical pre-orders include the pack "while stocks last", so if the bonus matters to you, check the retailer's listing or choose a digital pre-order. The GTA+ month is tied to digital pre-orders on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store.

How to make sure you get the bonus

  1. Choose your edition. Both get the pack, so pick on price and extras.
  2. Pre-order on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store, or with a retailer, by 19 November.
  3. Check that the listing mentions the Vintage Vice City Pack before you pay.
  4. Redeem the GTA+ month from a digital pre-order before it expires.
  5. Keep your order confirmation in case the pack does not appear in game.

Key dates

  • 25 June 2026: pre-orders open at midnight local time.
  • 12 November 2026: digital pre-orders can pre-load, and the physical version becomes available.
  • 19 November 2026: the game launches, and the last day to qualify for the pack.
