Players planning to purchase the standard edition of Grand Theft Auto 6 can easily upgrade to the $100 version later through an official $20 Ultimate Edition Upgrade offered by Rockstar Games, as reported by GameSpot.
Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives on November 19, bringing massive anticipation alongside a hefty file size that requires early preparation. For gamers debating whether to spring for the $80 standard edition or dive straight into the premium tier, Rockstar provides a straightforward path to bridge the gap.
Ultimate Edition Upgrade Details
Rockstar will offer an Ultimate Edition Upgrade for $20, allowing anyone who initially buys the $80 version to secure the extra perks later, GameSpot reported. This upgrade path applies to both the digital editions available on the Xbox and PlayStation stores as well as the code-in-a-box physical editions.
Upgrading to the Ultimate Edition Costs $20
- The $20 upgrade lets standard buyers get all $100 edition bonuses later.
- Preloading starts November 10 to handle the massive 212GB install size.

Rockstar stated that the bonus items are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, with new additions becoming available behind each chapter. Players who purchase the $100 version also gain access to exclusive in-game businesses. These locations include a tattoo parlor, a mod shop, and Sara’s Unisex Hair Salon.
