Unofficial fan project. Not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
Rockstar’s FAQ lists digital Standard and Ultimate editions and says Standard owners can buy an Ultimate Upgrade later. Physical Standard buyers can also purchase the upgrade after redeeming their code. The FAQ does not list a physical Ultimate version.

Start with what you want
Our advice: first decide whether the base game is what you want. Then compare the current Ultimate contents and upgrade terms on your console’s storefront. Having an upgrade route means you do not have to settle every bonus preference from a headline alone.
Compare the complete checkout
Check the region, platform, included items and final price of the exact product. This guide is not a live price feed and does not assume a US price applies to every reader. A photograph of a collectible is not proof that it comes with a game entitlement.
Choosing a box?
Our code-in-box guide covers the format Rockstar describes. If a membership offer is included, read the GTA+ guide before claiming it.
