What is in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
Rockstar describes the Ultimate Edition Upgrade as a collection of items across Jason and Lucia’s story. It has not listed them one by one. Until it does, the honest summary is: you pay $20 more for in-game extras whose details are not public. The upgrade is also sold separately (the US Xbox Store lists it at $20), so you can start with Standard and decide later.
