Vintage Vice City Pack: every item in GTA 6's pre-order bonus

Rockstar Games confirmed the Vintage Vice City Pack as the universal pre-order bonus for Grand Theft Auto VI in a June 24, 2026 Take-Two Interactive press release, ahead of the November 19 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The pack ships with every pre-order — Standard or Ultimate, physical or digital — placed before the November 20 deadline.

The framing matters because the pack is the only bonus tier that closes at launch. Everything else in the Ultimate Edition keeps shipping after release. The Vintage Vice City Pack does not.

Every item in the Vintage Vice City Pack

The contents below come directly from the Take-Two press release and Rockstar’s own pre-order marketing, cross-checked against Gfinity’s item-by-item breakdown and gta.guide’s pack page.

Vehicle. One ‘55 Vapid Stanier sedan, finished in vintage yellow and white with whitewall tires. It is the only vehicle in the pack.

In-game property. The Shore Court Garage, located near Ocean Beach. It stores the Stanier, includes a weapon locker for loadout swaps, and contains a stash box that routes stolen goods to the local Fence. The garage — not the car — is the load-bearing item.

Outfits. Two themed sets, one per protagonist. Jason gets a pastel linen suit and a period-appropriate hairstyle. Lucia gets a red sequin mini dress and styled curls. Both lean openly on the 1986 Vice City aesthetic.

Weapon pattern. A tropical palm-leaf skin, applicable to most firearms, modeled after Tommy Vercetti’s button-up from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It is a visual layer only — no stat changes are listed.

GTA+ tie-in (digital only). A complimentary one-month GTA+ subscription, redeemable on day one for the GTA+ Games Library (which currently includes GTA V and a rotating Rockstar back catalogue), $500,000 of monthly GTA Online cash, and Vinewood Club showroom access. Physical pre-orders do not get the GTA+ month.

That is the entire pack. Five line items, one of them subscription-gated to digital buyers.

GTAVox analysis: how it compares to GTA V’s pre-order bonus

The 2013 universal pre-order bonus for Grand Theft Auto V was a single item: the Atomic Blimp, a flyable advertising airship, distributed to every retailer pre-order. The rest of that era’s “bonuses” lived inside the Special Edition and Collector’s Edition tiers — the SteelBook, the Blueprint Map, the Stunt Plane Trials, the Special Ability Boost, the bonus weapons at Ammu-Nation — and were paid upgrades, not pre-order rewards. The split is documented in Rockstar’s original 2013 Newswire.

The like-for-like comparison, then, is Atomic Blimp versus the Vintage Vice City Pack.

By item count, GTA VI ships roughly 5x the surface area of the GTA V universal bonus: one vehicle and a garage with a weapon locker and Fence stash, two character outfits, one weapon skin, and a GTA+ month for digital buyers, against one vehicle in 2013. By the more honest measure — items that materially change how a player engages with the world — the gap narrows sharply.

The Stanier is a cosmetic upgrade over a starter car. The two outfits are cosmetic. The palm-leaf weapon pattern is cosmetic. The GTA+ month is a 30-day trial of a subscription that costs $7.99/month thereafter. Only the Shore Court Garage carries durable in-game value: a fixed property near Ocean Beach with a weapon locker and a built-in Fence pipeline. In GTA V, the equivalent — a personal property with a weapon stash — required mission progression. Getting one at hour zero is the first item in the pack that meaningfully bends play.

The Atomic Blimp, for its part, was also mostly novelty. It was slow, hard to land, and rarely used past the first week. So the comparison is not “more value vs. less” so much as “more cosmetic surface vs. less, with one genuinely useful item underneath.”

“Five items beats one item. But four of the five are paint, and the fifth is a property. That is the honest read.”

What’s not in the pack — and what closes at launch

The Vintage Vice City Pack does not include any of the Ultimate Edition exclusives. Those — the ‘95 Grotti Cheetah, the ‘67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, the Dinka Enduro motorcycle, the Shitzu Squalo boat, the Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s mod shops, the Stock 305 clothing store, and the personalized weapon variants — are gated behind the $20 Ultimate upgrade and detailed in TheSixthAxis’s Ultimate Edition breakdown.

The deadline is the part that matters for buyers still deciding. Take-Two’s press release is specific: the Vintage Vice City Pack is included with all pre-orders placed before November 20, 2026. After launch, the pack is no longer available through standard pre-order channels. Whether Rockstar later sells or re-issues any of its items inside GTA+ or a future Vice City update is unconfirmed.

What we’re still watching

Three open questions remain. The first is whether the GTA+ tie-in extends to physical pre-orders later — the press release language (“digital pre-orders”) leaves the door narrow but not closed. The second is whether the Stanier becomes purchasable in-game after launch for non-pre-order owners, the way the Atomic Blimp eventually did in GTA Online. The third is the Collector’s Edition question: a Portuguese Fnac listing briefly showed five SKUs before being pulled, and Rockstar has so far shipped only two. If a third tier lands before November 20, the pack’s perceived value changes again.

For now, the pack is exactly what Rockstar said it is: a five-item bonus, one property, one subscription month, three cosmetic layers, gated to pre-orders placed before launch night. The clock is the headline.
