What STALKER 2 edition should I purchase?
With seven different editions available, you may be wondering what STALKER 2 suits you better.
If you're a newcomer, you should purchase the most basic bundle: the physical or digital standard editions. You could also think about purchasing the digital deluxe edition or the physical digital edition, as they only cost US$20 extra. We believe everything above is only for those players who have been waiting for the game's release for years.
If you're a huge fan of the game's story and you want to purchase any of the Ultimate Editions, you should give your bank account a look first as you will have to spend, at least, US$109.99.
Overall, we believe all of the editions are properly priced. However, if you're new, don't go too far and don't spend more than what you can. The standard edition will give you everything you need and, maybe, if you become a great fan of the story, you can get the items in the future.
