Until Dawn 2: Which Edition You Should Buy

Until Dawn 2 comes in two editions: the Standard Edition at $49.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at $59.99 on the US PlayStation Store. Buy Standard unless you specifically want the Y2K Neon Vibes costume pack and the Dioramas of Death gallery, because the game is identical in both and the Dr. Hill pre-order bonus comes with either one.

Below is what each edition contains, what it costs in the US, UK and Canada, how the pre-order bonus works, whether you can get it on disc, and who the extra $10 is worth it for. Everything is checked against PlayStation’s official game page and Firesprite’s announcements on the PlayStation Blog as of October 29, 2026.

What Each Edition Includes

Firesprite announced both editions in its September 3 PlayStation Blog post, and PlayStation’s store page lists the same contents:

What you get Standard Edition Digital Deluxe Edition
Until Dawn 2 (full game) Yes Yes
Pre-order bonus: two Dr. Hill costumes and bobbleheads Yes, when pre-ordered Yes, when pre-ordered
Y2K Neon Vibes Pack (costumes for all eight playable characters) No Yes
Dioramas of Death (a gallery of every death) No Yes
Available on disc Yes, in some regions No, digital only

Everything else, from the story and the endings to PS5 Pro Enhanced support, is the same in both.

Until Dawn 2 Prices by Region

These are the prices on PlayStation’s official game pages on October 29, 2026:

Region Standard Edition Digital Deluxe Edition
United States $49.99 $59.99
United Kingdom £44.99 £49.99
Canada CA$64.99 CA$79.99

In the US the gap is $10, and in the UK it is £5. The US store listed no pre-order discount on the Standard Edition on October 29, 2026.

The Pre-Order Bonus

Pre-ordering any edition gets you Dr. Hill-themed extras. Peter Stormare returns as the series’ unsettling psychiatrist, and PlayStation lists the bonus as:

  • Dr. Hill: Until Dawn Classic costume and an in-game bobblehead collectible.
  • Dr. Hill: Until Dawn 2 Island costume and an in-game bobblehead collectible.

PlayStation notes that an account for PlayStation and an internet connection are required to redeem the bonus. Pre-orders have been open since September 10, 2026. Sony says the bonus comes with a pre-order of any edition; if you pre-order a disc from a retailer, check that its listing mentions the Dr. Hill bonus too.

Disc or Digital

PlayStation’s Southeast Asia announcement lists the Standard Edition as “Disc/Digital,” while the Digital Deluxe Edition, as the name says, is download only. If you want a physical copy, Standard is your only choice. The US announcement does not list disc details, so check your local retailers for availability.

Is the Digital Deluxe Edition Worth It?

It comes down to how much you care about the extras, because neither one changes how the game plays.

The Digital Deluxe Edition makes sense if:

  • You plan to replay. Until Dawn games are built for repeat runs, and PlayStation says “subsequent playthroughs may take twists and turns that lead to totally different outcomes.” Fresh outfits for the whole cast make a second or third night on the island feel different.
  • You want to see every death. Dioramas of Death lets you relive each fatal outcome from new angles, and Firesprite’s post asks, “Can you unlock every scene?” Completionists will get the most out of it.
  • The $10 does not matter to you. For a game you are already pre-ordering, it is a small step up.

Stick with the Standard Edition if:

  • You want a disc. The Deluxe is digital only.
  • You will play once. Costumes and a death gallery add little to a single run.
  • You would rather wait. Sony has not said whether the Deluxe extras will be sold separately later, so there is no rush.

What Every Edition Shares

Whichever you buy, you get the same game on January 28, 2027. Until Dawn 2 is PS5 only, with no PS4 version and no PC version announced, as our guide to whether Until Dawn 2 is coming to PC explains. It is a single-player game, it supports Remote Play, and PlayStation lists 27 accessibility features. On PS5 Pro it is enhanced with PSSR2 upscaling and advanced ray tracing, per the store page.

Until the sequel arrives, the original’s remake is one of the picks on our list of the best horror games on PS5. Until Dawn 2’s story was “crafted with AdHoc Studio,” the team behind Dispatch, which our Dispatch story covers.
