Life is Strange: Double Exposure: all special editions and how to pre-order

A new Life is Strange is cause enough for excitement, but developer Deck Nine caught everyone unawares by revealing Life is Strange: Double Exposure is bringing back the first game’s protagonist Max Caulfield for a new murder mystery. You can learn eꦜverything you need to💫 know about its release and plot here, and below you’ll find a breakdown of Life is Strange: Double Exposure‘s multiple special editions and how you can pre-order them.

All Life is Strange: Double Exposure editions and how to pre-order

Standard Edition

The standard edition for Life is Strange: Double Exposure is exactly what you’d expect. All it includes is the base game; there’s not even any pre-order incentives. You can purchase a physical copy from or buy it digitally from your platform of choice’s storefront (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Steam) for $49.99/£49.99. There will be a Nintendo Switch version too but at a later date, so it’s currently not available to pre-order digitally.

Deluxe Edition

By purchasing the Deluxe Edition of Life is Strange: Double Exposure, you will receive two DLC packs: the Spooky Outfit Pack and the Decades Outfit Pack. Each one comes with five different costumes for Max to wear, though these will be available as separate purchases once Double Exposure launches. At the time of writing, there’s no mention of how much these packs will cost individually. What’s more, the Deluxe Edition appears to only be available digitally. You can pre-order it via your platform of choice’s storefront for $59.99/£59.99.

Ultimate Edition

In case you weren’t aware, the Ultimate Edition of Life is Strange: Double Exposure has proven contentious with some fans. This is because anyone who pre-orders will get early access two weeks in advance on October 15. Admittedly, early access only includes the first two chapters and not the full game, but this still means everyone else will need to spend the fo❀llowing two weeks dodging early game spoilers. It also comes with not just the Spooky Outfit Pack and the Decades Outfit Pack, but four addi🗹tional DLC packs too. Those packs are:

• Final Fantasy VII Outfit Pack—Five outfits inspired by characters from Final Fantasy VII, including an admittedly adorable looking Moogle hoodie
• Fan Favourite Outfit Pack—Five outfits that reference previous Life is Strange games, like Chloe Price’s Misfit Skull shirt from the first game and a Life is Strange 2 themed Wolf Squad shirt
• Paw Prints Cat Outfit Pack—Five cat themed outfits
• Exclusive Cat Content—At the time of writing, it’s not entirely clear what this is, but it sounds like an optional side-quest of some kind since a store description reads, “When Max discovers a lost cat, she knows she must reunite it with its owner!”

It’s not said if any of this content will be available as separate purchases, though we can presume that the Exclusive Cat Content will be locked to the Ultimate Edition. Since this comes with the most additional content, it’s naturally the most expensive, priced at $79.99/£79.99. It’s also only available digitally.

Collector’s Box

We’d be remiss not to mention the Life is Strange: Double Exposure Collector’s Box as well. This comes with its own line-up of unique goodies that aren’t even included with the Ultimate Edition. However, an important thing to note is that it doesn’t come with a copy of the game; you still n🌳eed to buy that separately. As for what it does incl🦩ude, the full list is:

• Collector’s Good Box
• 12” vinyl soundtrack containing 13 songs from the game
• Mini hardcover artbook with exclusive concept art
• Four double-sided 12” artcards for eight members of the Caledon cast
• Max’s Owl Pin Replica, as worn by Max in-game

This Collector’s Box can only be pre-ordered , and it’s in limited quantities so you’ll want to act fast. It’ll set you back $59.99/£54.99, so even if you buy it with the standard edition (the cheapest version of Double Exposure), that’s $109.98/£104.98 altogether you’re spending.
