Grand Theft Auto V/Editions

Grand Theft Auto V has three distinct editions; the original edition, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the "enhanced" edition, for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC and the Expanded & Enhanced version due for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on March 15, 2022. The original edition was released in September 2013 and the enhanced edition was announced in June 2014. The original edition has 3 sub-editions, with the enhanced edition continuing the additional content of the 3 original editions plus providing additional exclusive content for Social Club players who have already played the original version.

Original Edition
Announced on the Rockstar Newswire on May 23 2013, with the possibility to pre-order them starting that day. The three editions are:
 * Standard Edition, featuring a printed map and a blimp code and has, therefore, the lowest price - US$60/£40/€60
 * Special Edition, featuring additional digital content and has, therefore, a higher price - US$80/£60/€80
 * Collector's Edition, featuring additional digital content and physical goodies and has, therefore, the highest price - US$150/£120/€130

Enhanced Edition
The enhanced edition was announced for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on June 9, 2014 with a trailer. On September 12 the game's re-release was announced and it was released on November 18 on consoles, with a PC release delayed until April 14, 2015. The enhanced edition features ingame Special/Collector Edition content as bonus features which players can buy via ingame cash (although original owners of the special/collectors will continue to get these for free).

On October 28, 2014 special content was announced for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 players buying the new version on any of the three systems. They include a new Submersible, a Dodo Seaplane (similar to the Skimmer from 3D Universe), a returning muscle car classic, the Stallion, as well as a modified armoured version of GTA IV's 1969 Dodge Charger inspired Dukes, a modified monkey designed Blista Compact, two new weapons; a Rail Gun & Hatchet and several new side missions to unlock the content, including a murder mystery and photography challenge.

For the first time, First-Person View on foot and in vehicles will be implemented and players are free to switch between this and Third-Person View on-the-fly. Characters from GTA Online in PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game can be transferred to the enhanced edition. The transfer is a one-time-only copy and the character can continue to be played on both platforms, but progress made after the transfer on the old platform will not be reflected in the new platform and vice versa.

Vehicles

 * Bati 801RR removed from traffic.
 * Asea added to traffic.
 * DLC cars Pigalle, Panto, Glendale, Warrener, Rhapsody, Massacro, Alpha, Jester, Thrust and Huntley S added to ambient traffic.
 * DLC cars Besra, Swift, Turismo R, Zentorno, Blade, Coquette Classic added exclusively to ambient scenarios.

Premium Online Edition
The Premium Online Edition was announced and released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 20, 2018.

It includes Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online and the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack, therefore representing "over GTA$10 million in value".

Expanded & Enhanced Edition
"Experience the interwoven stories of Franklin, Michael, and Trevor across the sun-soaked metropolis of Los Santos and the backwoods countryside of Blaine County in greater detail than ever before with stunning all new levels of visual detail."

- Official Description

A further "Expanded & Enhanced" version for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is slated for release on March 15, 2022.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S features new graphics modes with up to 4K resolution, up to 60 frames per second, texture and draw distance upgrades, HDR options and ray-tracing, as well as across-the-board improvements including faster loading times, increased population and traffic variety, increased vegetation density, improved lighting quality across shadows, water reflections, and other elements. Plus improved anti-aliasing, motion-blur, highly detailed new explosions, fire, and much more.

There’s also new levels of responsiveness with Haptic Feedback and dynamic resistance via the Adaptive Triggers on PlayStation 5’s DualSense wireless controller, adding new sensations to weather effects, directional damage, rough road surfaces, explosions and much more. Platform-specific features also include immersive audio using Tempest 3D positional audio on PlayStation 5 and Spatial Sound on Xbox Series X|S.

Players can choose from one of three detailed new graphics settings to tailor their gameplay experience for what matters most to them, fidelity, performance, or both.
 * Fidelity Mode is tuned for the highest visual quality and targets 30 FPS. In this mode the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X support native 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled while the Xbox Series S supports upscaled 4K resolution.
 * Performance Mode is tuned for the most responsive gameplay experience and targets 60 FPS. In this mode the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X support upscaled 4K resolution while the Xbox Series S supports a resolution of 1080p.
 * Performance RT mode is a hybrid of the Fidelity and Performance modes supporting upscaled 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled and targeting 60 FPS.

PS4 and Xbox One players will be able to transfer both their GTAV Story Mode progress and their current GTA Online characters and progression to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a one-time migration at launch.

Trivia

 * Although the Atomic Blimp is available to Standard Edition pre-orders, it is included with the additional DLC content in the Special Edition and Collector's Edition without the need of a pre-order.
