What Rockstar said
Store copy (Confirmed): "Ultimate Edition bonuses are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter."
Nelson interview (Reported via press): He said the game is "set over chapters," which helps the team move tentpole missions and narrative beats across the map, while still asking whether players can go "off the rails." He did not publish a chapter list.
