God of War Laufey is listed for PlayStation 5, with a release date of February 16, 2027. On PlayStation’s US store, Standard Edition is listed at $69.99, Digital Deluxe at $79.99, and a Digital Deluxe Upgrade at $10. Preordering any edition is described as including three bonus items, but the physical Standard Edition bonus arrives by download code—not on the disc.

Which God of War Laufey editions are available?

The official US PlayStation listing describes the Standard Edition as the full game, available in digital or physical format. Digital Deluxe and the Digital Deluxe Upgrade are listed as digital products. Prices below are the amounts shown on that US page when checked October 4, 2026; they are not global prices or a guarantee of a retailer’s price.

Option What it includes US listed price Best fit if…
Standard Edition Full game; listed in digital or physical format $69.99 You want the game without the Deluxe digital extras, or want a physical copy.
Digital Deluxe Edition Full game, digital mini artbook, digital soundtrack, Dark Alchemy Equipment Set, and in-game resource pack $79.99 You value the artbook, soundtrack, equipment, and resource pack enough to pay the listed $10 difference.
Digital Deluxe Upgrade Digital mini artbook, digital soundtrack, Dark Alchemy Equipment Set, and in-game resource pack; listed for Standard Edition purchasers $10.00 You have Standard Edition and the upgrade is eligible for your version and account region.

The US listing groups the Deluxe equipment as the “Dark Alchemy Equipment Set.” Santa Monica Studio’s preorder announcement names its components as the Dark Alchemy Armor Set, Dark Alchemy Blade, Dark Alchemy Bow Scales, and Dark Alchemy Catalyst. The PlayStation page’s shorter summary calls the bow item “Dark Alchemy Bow.” PlayStation’s US product page lists the editions and prices; Santa Monica Studio’s announcement provides the equipment names.

What does a preorder include?

PlayStation says preordering any edition unlocks these bonuses:

God of War Ragnarök - PlayStation 5
  • Feel your journey through the Norse realms, made possible by immersive haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionality.
  • Take advantage of multidirectional 3D Audio; hear enemies approaching from any direction. (3D audio with stereo headphones (analog or USB))
  • Bask in the beautiful worlds you travel through, brought to life by precise art direction and arresting attention to detail.
  • Switch between full 4K resolution at a targeted 30 frames per second, or dynamic resolution upscaled to 4K at a targeted 60fps. (4K resolution requires a compatible 4K TV or display)
  • Last Wish Armor Set
  • Phranque’s Golden Leaves Appearance, a cosmetic
  • An in-game resource pack

For a physical Standard Edition preorder, Santa Monica Studio specifies that the bonus is provided via download code. PlayStation says the code requires an internet connection and a PlayStation account, expires February 16, 2037, and unlocks the in-game items through story progression. That means the bonus content may not be usable at the start of the game.

Can you preorder the physical PS5 version?

Yes. The official listing describes Standard Edition as available physically or digitally, and identifies PS5 as the platform. The Digital Deluxe Edition and Digital Deluxe Upgrade are digital, so check the product format shown on the actual listing before purchase rather than relying on an edition name alone.

For a physical preorder, check the retailer’s listing for whether it supplies the publisher’s bonus code, how and when the code is delivered, and any additional retailer-specific terms. The official pages establish the publisher bonus and code method; they do not establish each retailer’s fulfillment policy, stock, or release-day delivery.

Should you choose Standard, Digital Deluxe, or the upgrade?

Choose Standard if the game is what you want

At the US page’s listed $69.99, Standard is the lower-priced option and is the only edition the page describes as physical or digital. The preorder bonus is described as applying to any edition, so the listed Deluxe extras—not the core preorder bonus—are the reason to consider paying more.

  • Feel your journey through the Norse realms, made possible by immersive haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionality.
  • Take advantage of multidirectional 3D Audio; hear enemies approaching from any direction. (3D audio with stereo headphones (analog or USB)

  • Switch between full 4K resolution at a targeted 30 frames per second, or dynamic resolution upscaled to 4K at a targeted 60fps. (4K resolution requires a compatible 4K TV or display)

Choose Digital Deluxe for its specific extras

The listed difference between Standard and Digital Deluxe is $10. Consider whether you will use the digital mini artbook, soundtrack, Dark Alchemy equipment, and resource pack. The higher-priced edition is not automatically better value if those digital items do not matter to you.

Consider the upgrade only after confirming eligibility

The US page lists a $10 Digital Deluxe Upgrade for Standard Edition purchasers. Before buying it, confirm that the offer applies to your Standard version and PlayStation account region. The listed amount is not a promise that every buyer will see the same offer or that it will remain available.

What to check before paying

  1. Console: Confirm you are buying the PS5 version; that is the platform identified by the official product information.
  2. Format: Verify whether the specific listing is physical or digital. Standard is described in both formats; Deluxe and the listed upgrade are digital.
  3. Edition contents and price: Compare the live offer with the US PlayStation listing and decide whether the Deluxe extras justify its listed $10 increase over Standard.
  4. Upgrade eligibility: If buying the upgrade, check the storefront’s compatibility and your account region before checkout.
  5. Bonus delivery: For a physical copy, check whether the retailer provides the publisher’s preorder code and how it will reach you. Bonus content requires internet access and a PlayStation account.
  6. Retailer terms: Check current stock, delivery estimate, cancellation and refund rules, and any retailer-specific bonus conditions on the retailer’s own live listing. These details are not settled by the official PlayStation pages.

Preorders began September 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time, according to Santa Monica Studio’s announcement. Because prices, availability, and retailer terms can change, use the live listing for the territory and seller where you plan to buy.
