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

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.
