Deluxe Edition on PS5: The Basics
Minecraft Dungeons II launches on September 29, 2026, published by Xbox Game Studios and developed by Mojang and Double Eleven. On PlayStation 5, players choosing between the Standard and Deluxe editions need to weigh cosmetics, future DLC, and physical versus digital ownership before pre-ordering.
In Minecraft Dungeons II, mysterious rifts have appeared across the overworld, leading into an entirely new dimension. You equip gear, crawl dungeons, battle mobs, hunt for better loot, and tackle increasingly dangerous enemies — solo or in co-op.

The Deluxe Edition is the only way to get a physical PS5 disc. The Standard Edition is digital-only, so collectors and disc owners should plan accordingly.
| Edition | Price (RRP) | Format | Included Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $29.99 / £24.99 | Digital only | Full base game, campaign, co-op |
| Deluxe | $49.99 / £44.99 | Digital + Physical | Base game, cosmetics, DLC 1 & 2 |
What's Inside the Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition is not a cosmetics-only upgrade. The headline value comes from the two future DLC packs bundled in at purchase.
Soul Cape
- Exclusive cosmetic cape
- Visual flair for your hero
- Also in physical Deluxe
Blood Pet & Skins
- Blood pet companion
- Four additional hero skins
- Cosmetic only
DLC 1 & DLC 2
- Two future content packs
- The real value driver
- Delivered when released
| Deluxe Item | Type | Impact on Gameplay |
|---|---|---|
| Soul Cape | Cosmetic | None |
| Blood Pet | Cosmetic | None |
| 4 Hero Skins | Cosmetic | None |
| DLC Pack 1 | Content | New missions/enemies (TBD) |
| DLC Pack 2 | Content | New missions/enemies (TBD) |
Pre-ordering either edition earns the same bonuses: two hero skins, a twisted cape, and a twisted chicken pet. There is no reason to upgrade to Deluxe purely for pre-order content.
PS5 Pricing and Discounts
On PlayStation 5, the digital Deluxe Edition carries an RRP of $49.99 / £44.99. PS Plus members have access to a 10% pre-order discount, dropping the price to roughly £40.49 in the UK — a meaningful saving if you already know you want the DLC.
| Platform / Version | Approx. Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 Digital Deluxe (RRP) | £44.99 / $49.99 | Full price |
| PS5 Digital Deluxe (PS Plus) | ~£40.49 | 10% pre-order discount |
| PS5 Physical Deluxe | ~£43.85 | Slightly under digital RRP |
| Xbox Digital Deluxe (retailer) | ~£31.85 | Via shopto.net |
The PS Plus pre-order discount ends once the game officially releases on September 29, 2026. Secure it before launch day if you want the reduced price.
Retailer prices fluctuate, so always verify the current listing before purchasing. Physical PS5 Deluxe copies have been spotted around £43.85, which is a modest saving versus digital RRP but still worth checking.
Standard vs Deluxe: Which Should You Buy?
Check Game Pass First
Minecraft Dungeons II launches day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Xbox ecosystem subscribers can play the full game at launch without buying it. Note this does not apply to PS5 owners.
Assess Your Playtime
If you plan to finish the campaign and move on, the Standard Edition at $29.99 covers the complete base experience.
Decide on the DLC
If you expect to stick with the game long-term and would buy DLC 1 and DLC 2 anyway, the Deluxe bundle likely saves money versus buying them separately later.
Compare Retailers Before Pre-Ordering
Never auto-pay full RRP. PS Plus members get 10% off digitally, and physical copies are often discounted below RRP across platforms.
| Player Type | Recommended Edition | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Game Pass subscriber | None (subscription) | Day-one access included |
| Campaign-only player | Standard | Full game, lowest cost |
| Long-term looter | Deluxe | DLC 1 & 2 bundled, better value |
| Physical collector | Deluxe | Only edition with a disc |
For most players, Standard is enough. Deluxe makes sense when you are confident you will buy both DLC packs — that bundle, not the cosmetics, is the real reason to upgrade.
Physical Edition Warnings and Platform Notes
The Deluxe Edition exists physically on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2, but there are caveats collectors should know.
The Nintendo Switch 2 physical version is a game key card. The full game is not stored on the cartridge — you must insert the card and download the game to play.
| Platform | Physical Deluxe Price (approx.) | Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 | ~£43.85 | Standard Blu-ray disc |
| Xbox Series X | ~£39.99 | Strong retailer discounts available |
| Switch 2 | ~£38.85 | Game key card, download required |
