Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are live, and the Ultimate Edition unlocks five exclusive shops that Standard Edition players cannot enter. These shops let Jason and Lucia customize their cars, hair, clothes, and tattoos in ways that the base $79.99 edition does not offer. Here is the full list of every exclusive shop, what each one sells, and whether the $99.99 Ultimate Edition is worth buying.
Key takeaways:
- GTA 6 Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Standard Edition costs $79.99.
- The Ultimate Edition unlocks 5 shops: Rideout Customs, One-Eyed Willie’s, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Stock 305, and Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor.
- These shops cover vehicle mods, hair and makeup, streetwear, and tattoos.
- Standard Edition owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade later for the price difference.
- Ultimate Edition content unlocks slowly, tied to story chapters, and not all at once.
- GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition
Rockstar Games revealed GTA 6’s two editions on June 24, 2026, one day before pre-orders went live. Both editions include the complete single-player story of Jason and Lucia in the state of Leonida. The map, the missions, and the main story are the same in both versions.
The Standard Edition costs $79.99. The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, which is $20 more. That extra $20 unlocks vehicles, weapons, cosmetics, two side activities, and the five shops covered in this guide.
The extra content is not handed to you right away. Rockstar has built the Ultimate Edition so that new items unlock chapter by chapter as you play through the story, instead of all at once at the start.
GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Exclusive Shops at a Glance
| Shop Name | Type | Location | What It Offers |
| Rideout Customs | Vehicle mod shop | Vice City | Custom interiors, rims, and donk-style builds |
| One-Eyed Willie’s | Vehicle mod shop | Lake Leonida | Off-road upgrades and hand-painted finishes |
| Sara’s Unisex Salon | Hair and beauty salon | Leonida, exact area not confirmed | Hairstyles, facial hair for Jason, makeup, and nails for Lucia |
| Stock 305 | Clothing store | Stockyard | Exclusive streetwear for Jason and Lucia |
| Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor | Tattoo shop | Stockyard | Over 50 tattoo designs by art collective FAILE |
Every Exclusive Shop in GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Explained
1. Rideout Customs
Rideout Customs is a vehicle mod shop in Vice City. It is the place to go if you want to turn a normal car into a showpiece. The shop offers detailed interior upgrades, custom rims, and donk-style builds.
Donk style refers to older sedans lifted higher than stock and fitted with oversized rims. It comes from Southern car culture, and Rideout Customs looks to be the main spot for that look in Leonida.
2. One-Eyed Willie’s
One-Eyed Willie’s is the second vehicle mod shop in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition, located in Lake Leonida. While Rideout Customs leans into street style, One-Eyed Willie’s focuses on off-road builds. Expect off-road modifications and hand-painted finishes for vehicles built to handle rough terrain.
3. Sara’s Unisex Salon
Sara’s Unisex Salon is the exclusive hair and beauty shop in the Ultimate Edition. It covers signature styles for both protagonists: facial hair options for Jason and makeup and nail options for Lucia.
This one matters because GTA 6 puts real focus on character customization. Without the Ultimate Edition, players may have limited hair and beauty options for Jason and Lucia in single player.
4. Stock 305
Stock 305 is a clothing store in the Stockyard neighborhood of Leonida. Stockyard is styled around murals, street art, and tags, and Stock 305 fits right into that setting. The shop sells exclusive streetwear and unique looks for both Jason and Lucia that you will not find in the Standard Edition.
5. Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor
Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor sits in Stockyard too, and it is the exclusive tattoo shop in the Ultimate Edition. It offers more than 50 signature tattoo designs for Jason and Lucia, all created by the artist collective FAILE. If body art and character customization matter to you, this shop is one of the bigger draws of the Ultimate Edition.
How and When You Can Access The Shops in GTA 6 Ultimate Edition
Rockstar has confirmed that Ultimate Edition bonuses do not arrive all at once. New items, including access to these shops, unlock chapter by chapter as you play through Jason and Lucia’s story. So do not expect to walk into Rideout Customs or Sara’s Unisex Salon during the opening missions. Rockstar has not shared which chapter unlocks which shop, so expect more details closer to the November 19, 2026 launch.
Rockstar also has not explained exactly how the game will stop Standard Edition players from entering these five shops. A few outlets have guessed at locked doors, closed storefronts, or a purchase prompt that sends you to the PlayStation or Xbox store. None of this is confirmed. What is confirmed is that Standard Edition players will not have these shops or their items without upgrading.
The good news is that this is not a one-time decision. Rockstar’s own support page confirms that Standard Edition owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade at any time after launch, for the price difference between the two editions. This also works for physical copies. Since there is no physical Ultimate Edition, physical Standard Edition buyers redeem their download code first and then buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade digitally whenever they want.
What Else Is in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition?
The five shops are the most talked-about part of the Ultimate Edition, but they are not the only bonus. According to Rockstar, the full Ultimate Edition Upgrade also includes:
- ’95 Grotti Cheetah, a sports car
- Shitzu Squalo, a speedboat
- ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage, an off-road buggy with its own garage
- Ganado Retro Build, a classic-style vehicle
- Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles, extra vehicles tied to Jason’s safehouse
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, a pair of custom revolvers
- Personalized Weapon Variants, engraved versions of signature weapons
- Vice City Styles, a clothing and apparel pack
- Goodtime Gear, an accessories pack
- PTT Youngin$ Compound, a story-linked location
- Classic Car Collection, a side activity
The Classic Car Collection deserves a special mention. It is a side activity tied to Wyman, a local fixer and car collector. Players track down abandoned classic cars scattered around Leonida and restore them, and four of the restorable vehicles are exclusive to the Ultimate Edition.
Both editions also get the Vintage Vice City Pack if you pre-order or buy before November 20, 2026. This pack includes the ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. It is separate from the Ultimate Edition, so Standard Edition buyers get it too as long as they order in time.

Is the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition Worth It?
The story, the map, and the core gameplay are the same in both editions, so the answer comes down to how much you care about extra customization. Here is a simple way to decide.
Choose the Ultimate Edition if:
- You want every clothing, hair, and tattoo option available at launch.
- Deep vehicle customization matters to you.
- You want the bonus vehicles, weapons, and side activities from day one.
- You plan to spend a lot of time exploring and customizing rather than rushing the story.
Choose the Standard Edition if:
- You mainly care about the story and main missions.
- You want to save $20 and decide on the upgrade later.
- You are fine seeing the extra shops and items after you have played the base game for a while.
Since Rockstar allows the upgrade at any time, there is no real risk in starting with the Standard Edition. You can always pay the difference later once you know how much time you are putting into the game.
Summary
The five exclusive shops in the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition give Jason and Lucia a deeper level of customization than the Standard Edition offers, covering cars, hair, clothes, and tattoos. None of it changes the core story, so your choice comes down to how much you value cosmetics and extra content on day one. If you are still unsure, remember that Rockstar lets you upgrade from Standard to Ultimate at any time, so you can start small and add the extra content later.
GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with pre-orders live now.
