Possible to upgrade your preorder from Standard Edition to Gold Edition?

Hey guys,

I preordered the Standard Edition of BF2042 earlier this year.

After playing the Open Beta, I'm thinking of upgrading my existing preorder to the Gold Edition, what's the best way to do this?

On the note from the original preorder of the standard edition, it mentioned losing the preorder bonuses if I decided to cancel my preorder.

I've also read somewhere that I need to cancel my existing preorder, then order the Gold Edition after that for other games.

However, I've noticed that I haven't been billed yet for my existing preorder so I'm a little confused about what's happening and how to proceed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

@gunshot95 I think you can cancel the preorder and buy an upgraded edition still with the preorder bonuses (less the early access to the open beta of course), as the game is yet to be released.
It is still listed as pre-order:

and as far as i can tell, it is still the same bonuses.

Just to make sure, contact your place of purchase.

@gunshot95 The information you've seen, and as mentioned by TrasteTh above, is correct. There currently isn't a way to upgrade, but you can cancel and re-order.

Since it looks like you ordered through Origin you wouldn't have been charged yet, the money would be taken closer to the release date.

Thank you and TrasteTh; to confirm I won't lose out on any preorder bonus if I cancel my existing order for a standard edition?
Note, I am based in Australia.

@gunshot95 I guess, just to make sure you do not miss out on anything, and since you are not getting charged yet anyway; could you not order the Gold Edition as well, and once sure, cancel the order for the Standard Edition?

Is it worth it just for a few skins and a week earlier playing the game? Or am I missing something here?

@gunshot95Unfortunately, there is currently no way to upgrade editions. Please see the attached link for a similar topic:

As such, the best course of action would be to refund the original purchase and then purchase the desired Edition. Since the game has not been released yet, you will not miss out on any pre-order bonuses. I hope this helps.
