Out now: $23.99 $29.99

The $10 Deluxe question comes down to the Temple of Yig mission— the only piece of actual content in the bundle; the rest is cosmetics, a soundtrack and two extra characters for a roster where seven are unlockable in the base game anyway. The detail that defuses most of the "selling missions" anger: Nacon confirmed in its official pricing post that only the lobby host needs the Yig DLC — the other three play it free. So for a fixed crew of four, one Deluxe host plus three standard copies is the whole experience, and four standard copies beat two Deluxe ones every time.

Buying in the first two weeks

Two launch-window mechanics are worth timing your purchase around. First, the Lost Explorers' Swords Packisn't just a pre-order bonus anymore — Nacon confirmed it's free for every buyer during the first two weeks after launch, but it must be claimed manuallyfrom the store page; it won't appear in your library by itself. Second, there's a launch discount tied to wishlist milestones: the community pushed through the third milestone, and the 20% cut is now live — $23.99 standard / $31.99 Deluxe on Steam through the early window. Both mechanics come from Nacon's official pricing announcement and the studio's wishlist-milestone posts.

Why is there no price on the Steam page?

A genuinely confusing quirk: Steam pre-orders never opened— pre-ordering ran on consoles and the price only appears in Nacon's announcements, which is why the Steam store page showed no number and no buy button until launch day. That's over now — the game is out, listed at $29.99 with the 20% launch discount live ($23.99). Buy inside the two-week window above and claim the swords pack while you're there.

Regional prices

Confirmed store prices outside the US: standard £24.99 / Deluxe £34.99 in the UK (pre-order £22.49 / £31.49), and Deluxe €39.99 in the eurozone (pre-order €35.99). The console pre-order discount is a flat 10% through launch, and PlayStation Plus members see an extra discount tier on PSN. On the Microsoft Store, one purchase covers console and PC via Xbox Play Anywhere — effectively two platforms for the price of one.

Try before you buy

The free Steam demois the real pricing information: it's roughly the opening hours of the game, still live after Next Fest, and it will tell you in one evening whether your crew's sense of humor survives a sanity systembuilt to make you distrust each other. There's also a physical edition from Nacon if you like your cosmic horror on a shelf — though note it slipped to August 6 for logistics reasons; the digital release stays July 15.
