Rockstar’s editions FAQ is the source of truth for Standard, Ultimate, and available upgrade information.
Identify the baseline
Read the current official edition page carefully. What is included may depend on the version, platform and regional store. Avoid relying on old promotional social-media graphics.
Evaluate the premium tier
Only pay for a higher tier when the extra published content has value to you. Compare official local currency prices on the console storefront, not screenshots from a different region.
Check upgrade conditions
If considering an upgrade after buying a base edition, verify platform and regional eligibility first. Keep the transaction receipt and do not assume all purchases are refundable.
Edition comparison and upgrade documentation exists.
Your local price and entitlement can differ from other markets.
