The Standard Edition ($79.99) is the full game; the $99.99 Ultimate adds vehicles, weapons, customisation and activities, and is digital only.

With a week to go before the November 19 launch, one question keeps coming up at the checkout: Standard or Ultimate? According to Techloy, the Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate $99.99, a $20 gap. In France the official prices are €79.99 and €99.99, the same €20 difference.
Techloy says the Ultimate adds extra vehicles, weapons, customisation options and activities. These extras arrive throughout Jason and Lucia's story rather than all at once on day one. Story and map are the same in both editions. Rockstar has not, to our knowledge, published a detailed contents list, and we are not guessing at one.
Another limit: the Ultimate is sold digitally only. The code-in-box copies in stores, covered in our unboxing report, hold a download code rather than a disc, and they match the Standard version.
Yes, per Techloy: Standard owners can buy the Ultimate upgrade later on the PlayStation or Xbox storefronts. Its price is not given in the sources we read. In other words, the Standard closes no door, which argues against deciding in a rush.

Mashable notes that a preorder locks in the Vintage Vice City Pack and a month of GTA+, and that Xbox Smart Delivery moves your copy to a Series X for free if you upgrade your console. Techloy gives November 20 as the Vintage Vice City Pack deadline, Mashable says November 19, so check your store listing. The free GTA+ month applies to digital purchases, Techloy adds.
Numerama reports that online deals around €60 are gone, but the box is still around €60 in store (Intermarché, Auchan, Leclerc) and €69.99 with a €10 voucher at Cultura. See the boxes arriving at Leclerc and Auchan and our price page.
For most players the Standard is enough: it is the whole game and lets you move up later. The Ultimate makes sense if you want the extras from day one and buy digitally anyway. The exact item list remains unknown.
