How to find and buy the right version
- Write down the specific game or games you want. Use the collection contents above to avoid buying a bundle that does not include your target title.
- Match your device to Konami’s platform listing. For example, Advance Collection lists Xbox One and states compatibility with Xbox Series X|S, whereas Dominus Collection lists Xbox Series X|S directly. Do not assume support on an unlisted platform.
- Search the platform’s digital store for the complete collection name. For Requiem, use the PlayStation Store route identified by Konami. Check that the result is the intended collection and that it is available for your account region.
- Review the product page before checkout. Confirm included games, platform compatibility and any features that matter to you. Prices and current store availability are not established by Konami’s cited collection information and may differ by region.
