If you initially purchase or access the game via Game Pass and decide later you want the Vault Edition's content, there's an upgrade path available, typically at a lower cost than buying the Vault Edition outright.
Platform Specifics:
•PC: Available on Battle.net, Microsoft Store, and Steam with similar edition offerings but ensure you're buying from the correct platform if you plan on upgrading or accessing Game Pass benefits.
•Consoles: The Cross-Gen Bundle ensures you can play on both last-gen and current-gen consoles, with the Vault Edition offering the same cross-gen compatibility plus additional content.
Considerations:
