Ace Combat 8 Preorder Bonuses
Eligible Ace Combat 8 preorders include two bonuses: the F-14A Tomcat as a playable aircraft and a port of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War for the platform where you buy the game. Three-day early access belongs to the Deluxe Edition, not the general preorder offer.
Included with eligible preorders
F-14A Tomcat
A playable aircraft bonus. The official offer does not establish that it is the only route to every Tomcat variant.
Open F-14A profile →Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
A port of the 2006 campaign tied to the purchased platform, with a smaller language list on Steam.
Read the bonus guide →Platform and timing caveats
PlayStation describes a PS5-ported version and Steam identifies a Steam version. Xbox store availability and regional offer terms should be checked on the checkout page. The publisher’s official game page sets a preorder deadline of October 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM local time and notes that bonus availability may end without notice.
Do not confuse preorder and Deluxe benefits
The Deluxe Edition separately includes three-day early access, the Ace Pass and additional content. Buying Standard during an eligible preorder window can qualify for the preorder items; buying Deluxe is the route to the edition benefits. Compare the current storefront terms before payment.
