Actual frame-rate stability, native rendering resolution and launch-build behavior have not been measured by Kingy.

Read the offer attached to your store

The PS5 Digital Deluxe 48-hour advance-access offer ended with the September 24 standard launch. Current Deluxe listings include an artbook, soundtrack, Wallet Artifact, starter resources and an outfit. These contents do not grant a new early-access window.

Select the platform you will actually use and compare the current edition contents in that storefront. A similarly named package does not establish identical benefits or cross-store ownership.

Install the released game and current updates

Remedy scheduled Steam preorder preload for September 23 at 07:00 Pacific / 10:00 Eastern. Steam is now released. If an installed copy will not start, use the PC troubleshooting guide. The Windows requirement of 120 GB free SSD space is not a measured download size.

  1. Confirm your storefront and edition in your library.
  2. On Windows, compare the final requirements with your machine and finish installing current updates.
  3. If installation or launch fails, follow Remedy’s platform-specific repair steps in the PC troubleshooting guide.
