If you were looking to lock down a Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order this week, Rockstar Games just released some very important information about that.
Specifically, Rockstar finally gave us a price for the game. There is a standard edition for $79.99, making GTA VI the first game since Mario Kart World to start at that price. That's not terribly surprising, nor is the fact that Rockstar is also charging $99.99 for an Ultimate Edition of the game.

What exactly does that price get you? According to Rockstar, it's an "exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner." The official website for the game has some more specific information on that front. The Ultimate Edition of GTA VI includes:
Mashable Top Stories
Several exclusive vehicles
Exclusive weapons
A bevy of shops for fashion, vehicle mods, and tattoos that only exist in the Ultimate Edition
Locking outfits and even vehicles behind an Ultimate Edition purchase is pretty normal stuff for a game like this, but putting several shops in the game that can only be accessed by players who bought the more expensive version is...innovative, though maybe not in the way people want GTA VI to be.
It should also be noted that Rockstar emphasized in its news drop on Wednesday that GTA VI is, for now, a single-player experience. Barring the unexpected, there will not be an online portion of the game available at launch. That was also true of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both of those games got multiplayer modes later, with V's being a cornerstone of Rockstar's financial success for the last decade.
