Decision rule

Assign value only to benefits you will use, then compare the remaining value with the live regional price difference.

Why Standard vs Deluxe Edition matters

The value difference depends on whether the buyer will use the first premium season, early access and online cosmetics—not on extra campaign missions announced at launch.

What is confirmed—and what is not

Regional prices, taxes and storefront promotions change. No exclusive Deluxe campaign has been announced.

Practical player guidance

Price the extras you would actually use, ignore sunk value from unwanted cosmetics, and verify preorder timing for the shared bonuses.

  2. Price the extras you would actually use, ignore sunk value from unwanted cosmetics, and verify preorder timing for the shared bonuses.
  3. Do not treat unpublished values as final: Regional prices, taxes and storefront promotions change. No exclusive Deluxe campaign has been announced.
