Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered: Does It Have DLC? Answered

Mecha-King Ghidorah spreads its golden wings over a harbor at night in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered

Yes, but only one piece so far: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered has a single paid add-on, the Digital Deluxe Upgrade, which costs $5.99 and adds two monster skins, a bonus map and a black and white movie filter. There are no DLC monsters, and Atari and developer Pipeworks Studios have not announced any new kaiju, stages or modes since the game launched on November 3, 2026.

Below is exactly what the upgrade includes, what it costs on each platform, what the base game already gives you without it, and what the studio has said about the future.

What the Digital Deluxe Upgrade Includes

The Digital Deluxe Upgrade on Steam is the only downloadable content listed for the game, and the same four items appear on every platform’s store:

  • Burning Millennium Godzilla (2025) skin. An alternate Godzilla look.
  • Mechagodzilla (1974) Black ver. skin. A black version of the Showa-era Mechagodzilla design already in the roster.
  • Smash Station map, “The Ring, 2026 Edition.” A boxing ring stage, and the only new place to fight.
  • Black and White Movie Filter. A visual filter that makes every fight look like an old monster movie. In the 2002 original, black and white mode was a cheat code; our cheat codes guide covers what happened to the rest of them.

None of it is a new fighter. The skins change how two existing monsters look, not how they play, so the upgrade never puts anyone at an advantage in versus or online matches.

What It Costs on Each Platform

Platform Upgrade on its own Base game plus upgrade
PC (Steam) $5.99 $34.90 Digital Deluxe Edition bundle
Nintendo Switch 2 $5.99 $34.99 Digital Deluxe Edition
Nintendo Switch $5.99 $34.99 Digital Deluxe Edition
PS5 Not sold separately $34.99 Digital Deluxe Edition
Xbox Series X|S Listed as the game’s only add-on $34.99 Digital Deluxe Edition

The base game is $29.99 everywhere. If you already own it on Steam or a Nintendo system, you only need the $5.99 upgrade, not the bundle, and Nintendo sells the Digital Deluxe Edition at $34.99 for both Switch systems. On PlayStation, the store lists the Digital Deluxe Edition but no standalone add-on, so decide before you buy if you want the extras there. Prices are US list prices as of November 12 and change during sales.

The upgrade is digital only. Atari’s boxed editions for PS5 and Switch 2 are the standard game, and our platforms guide covers what each physical copy costs.

What the Base Game Already Includes

The $29.99 game is complete without the upgrade. It has all 12 monsters, 8 locations with day and night versions of each, local versus for up to four players, the single-player modes and the new online matchmaking. Every monster beyond the starting roster is unlocked by playing, with in-game currency, not by paying.

Our guide to every monster and how to unlock it lists the full roster, and there are step-by-step guides for the two that take the most work: how to unlock Orga and how to unlock Mechagodzilla 3. If you are deciding which system to play on in the first place, see which version you should play.

Will There Be More DLC?

Nothing is announced. The two updates Atari has posted on Steam since launch were fixes, not content:

  • The November 3 hotfix turned VSync on by default.
  • The November 4 hotfix fixed the roster locking when save data was corrupted and fixed the game using the wrong audio output device on Steam.

Pipeworks has hinted it would like to keep working with Godzilla without promising anything. Pipeworks told Nintendo Everything in an interview published October 30 that “Pipeworks has a long history with the Godzilla franchise, and hopefully a long future with it as well,” and that “the future is always full of surprises.” That is a hope, not a plan for this game, and it did not mention DLC.

Neither company has said anything about adding monsters that missed the roster, such as Mothra. Until one of them announces something, treat the Digital Deluxe Upgrade as the only extra content for the remaster.

Is the Upgrade Worth Buying?

It depends on how much you like the cosmetic side. For $5.99 you get two skins, one extra stage and a filter. The Smash Station map is the only piece that adds something to play on, and it is a single arena. If you mainly want more fighters, the upgrade does not give you any, and every monster in the game is already in the base version.

It is easiest to justify if you play a lot of local versus with friends, where a new stage and alternate looks keep matches fresh, or if you are a fan of the 1974 Mechagodzilla design.

Are there DLC monsters? No. All 12 monsters are in the base game, and the upgrade’s two skins are alternate looks for monsters already in the roster.

Can I buy the Digital Deluxe Upgrade separately on PS5? The PlayStation Store lists only the full Digital Deluxe Edition at $34.99, not a standalone add-on. On Steam and Nintendo’s stores, the upgrade is sold on its own for $5.99.

Is Mothra in the game or coming as DLC? Mothra is not in the roster, and Atari has not announced her or any other new monster.
