and a

I have read reports that seem to indicate that the PS5 version is, in fact, different, yet I seem unable to purchase any such a version of the game through the PS store, which leads me to believe that if there is a difference I have been automatically granted access to the newer version of the game.

The PS5 version is called "GTA 5: Expanded & Enhanced Edition", and these are the improvements:

It seems a different game, and not a simple upgrade you can do on you PS4 version.
