The ultimate dilemma for a fighting game is not if you should buy it or not, but which edition of the game will get you the most bang for your buck. Tekken 8 has a handful of different versions and pre-order bonuses available, which may be a bit confusing if you don’t know where to look.
Tekken 8 is the first game in the franchise to launch simultaneously on multiple consoles and PC without an arcade version pre-dating the release. Across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, four different versions of the game give you access to varying content. Here is everything included in each edition of Tekken 8, including platform-exclusive pre-order bonuses.

Which Tekken 8 edition should you get?
If you just want to give Tekken 8 a spin, getting the base edition is perfectly fine. It comes with all of the content you need to enjoy the game to its fullest and you can grab the DLC separately at a later date.
If you already plan on purchasing Tekken 8’s Playable Character Year 1 Pass, which contains the first wave of the game’s DLC, it is likely worth getting the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition since they will get you some bundled goodies along with that extra content. The Collector’s Edition is really only a good deal for those hardcore Tekken fans who want that Jin statue.
