Title: How to purchase Grand Theft Auto V Story Mode after purchasing the standalone version of GTA Online

Question: If I own the standalone version of GTA Online, how can I get the Story version of Grand Theft Auto V?

Answer: You have several options for purchasing Story Mode in-game:

  • Landing Page

    • If you have the standalone version of GTA Online, you should see a purchase prompt on the Story tab of the landing page when you start up the game. Selecting this tab opens the platform store associated with your game to complete the purchase of Story Mode. Once completed, the prompt to purchase it will no longer appear, and you can launch Story Mode by selecting the Story tab from the landing page.

  • Pause Menu – In-Game Store

    • You can enter the in-game store tab through the Pause Menu and select the Story upgrade. This opens the platform store associated with your game to complete the purchase of Story Mode. Once the purchase is completed, you can leave the platform store, which returns you to the landing page where you can select the Story tab to enter Story Mode.

  • Pause Menu – Online

    • You can enter the Online tab of the Pause Menu and select the Quit to Story Mode option. This displays a prompt alerting you to go to the platform store associated with your game to complete the purchase of Story Mode. Upon completing the purchase, you can leave the platform store, which returns you to the landing page where you can select the Story tab to enter Story Mode.

  • Character Wheel – Online

    • You can bring up the Character Wheel while holding down on the D-Pad. If you release it while a Story Mode character is highlighted, it will display an alert asking if you want to continue to the platform store associated with your game to complete the purchase of Story Mode. Upon completing the purchase, you can leave the platform store which returns you to the landing page where you can select the Story tab, letting you enter Story Mode.
