How story progression works
What chapters unlock, what depends on your edition, and what remains to be tested.
- Rockstar describes a chapter-based story and says Ultimate Edition extras become available as chapters advance. If you own that edition and an item is missing early on, check your story progress.
- Start a simple progress note with your current chapter, the last objective you finished and anything the game says just unlocked. When you return, you will know exactly where to pick up.
- A verified XP table and repeatable leveling route require hands-on testing after release. Until then, use chapter progress as the reference and check edition-specific bonuses against Rockstar’s published list.
