Deluxe Edition vs Collector’s Edition

Collectors Edition
The Collectors Edition comes with everything in the Deluxe Edition increasing its price by over $200. This price tag includes a show-stopping Confront Destiny 40 cm figurine of Sun Wukong.
Despite its high cost, it is aimed at hardcore fans and collectors.
Which Should You Choose?
- Casual gamers: Stick with the Standard Edition or consider the Digital Deluxe for extra in-game goodies.
- Enthusiasts: The Deluxe Edition offers a good mix of digital and physical items without breaking the bank.
- Collectors: If you’ve got the cash and want that exclusive figurine, go for the Collector’s Edition.
Personal Recommendation
The Digital Deluxe Edition offers the best bang for your buck. You get lots of in-game extras without paying the high price of physical collectibles. But if you’re a die-hard fan and collector, the pricier editions might be worth it for you.
Remember, the Deluxe and Collector’s Editions come with a download code, instead of a physical disc.
