There is a subset of the community that creates "Modded PKGs." These are custom versions of the game created by fans. In the Ben 10 modding community, tech-savvy fans have edited the game files to:
If you find a "Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction PKG Exclusive" on a forum today, it is highly likely a fan-made modded version rather than an official developer release. These are popular within the RPCS3 emulation community as they allow players to experience the game with quality-of-life improvements.
While there may not be a "PKG Exclusive" edition of the game, the PS3 version itself had exclusives compared to its Nintendo counterparts. ben 10 ultimate alien cosmic destruction ps3 pkg exclusive
The PlayStation 3 version of Cosmic Destruction utilized the Havok physics engine, offering superior ragdoll physics and environmental destruction compared to the Wii version. Furthermore, the PS3 version (along with Xbox 360) allowed for the "Ultimate Swampfire" and "Ultimate Humungousaur" transformations to be fully realized with high-definition textures and complex quick-time events (QTEs) that were toned down on the less powerful consoles.
To understand the "exclusive" nature, you must accept the trade-offs: Ben 10: Ultimate Alien — Cosmic Destruction (PS3

There is a persistent rumor in online forums that the PS3 PKG exclusive includes an extra alien or level. This is false. No exclusive content exists. The term "exclusive" refers solely to the distribution method: digital PKG vs. physical disc. All versions contain the same six levels (Tokyo, London, Paris, China, Mount Rushmore, Aggregor’s Ship) and the same seven aliens.
However, one small exclusive feature: the PS3 version allows you to pause and swap aliens instantly via the d-pad, whereas the PSP required cycling through a menu. Some consider this a quality-of-life improvement.
The PS3’s Blu-ray drive is slow. Installing the game as a PKG onto a 7200 RPM HDD (or an SSD via SATA) reduces loading screens when switching between aliens like Echo Echo or Humungousaur.
