Dead Island 2 Steel Case – Best Buy Exclusive

All Dead Island 2 pre-orders come with the Memories of Banoi Bundle, which includes Banoi War Club, Memories of Banoi Baseball Bat, a Balanced Weapon Perk, and Personal Space Skill Card.

If you want a physical edition, the best thing you can do is Pre-order Dead Island 2 from Best Buy. The retailer is giving away an exclusive steel case, pictured above, with all pre-orders.

$70

The standard edition of Dead Island 2 is also called the “Day One Edition” for physical copies (at launch at least), but they are essentially the same thing. You’ll get the base game along with any eligible pre-order bonuses.

It’s worth noting that there are three different disc versions: PS5, PS4, and Xbox. Like many other game releases, the Xbox version comes with Series X and Xbox One editions. PlayStation is a bit more complicated. The PS4 disc also comes with the PS5 version, while the PS5 disc only works on PS5. Regardless of which platform you choose, the standard edition of Dead Island 2 costs $70.

$70

As an alternative to the Day 1 edition, there is the Pulp edition. Oddly enough, this edition is also $70. The only difference here is that you also get the Pulp Weapons pack (in addition to the regular pre-order bonuses).

The Pulp Edition comes with the base game, any eligible pre-order bonuses, and the Pulp Weapons Pack, which is packed with digital items. This version is only available in physical format.

$65+

Upgrade to the digital-only Deluxe Edition and you’ll get the Golden Weapon Pack and Character Pack 1 & 2. These offer some in-game goodies to help jumpstart your career as a zombie slayer.

Dead Island 2 Gold Edition is $90, but you get a lot of content for the price. Here’s a closer look at everything it offers:

pulp weapon pack
Golden Weapons Pack
