We’re weeks away from the much-anticipated release of Sonic Superstars, set to hit the shelves and digital platforms on October 17. But the party starts early for those willing to pre-order, and the deals are just too good to ignore. From collectible CDs to digital artbooks, each edition has its own tantalizing features. But how do you choose between them? Stick with us to find out.
“Gamers will get access to Sonic Superstars on October 17, but true fans have the opportunity to pre-order it and get cool bonuses for their purchase.”
The Collector’s Paradise: Physical Edition
For the hardcore Sonic fanatics who have shelves adorned with Sonic collectibles, the Physical Edition is your siren’s call. Available for $60 across multiple stores, it’s almost like a treasure chest of goodies. You can grab it at:
- Amazon
- Best Buy
- GameStop
- Target
- Walmart
Apart from the game itself, here’s what a $60 bill will get you:
- Lego Eggman In-Game Character Skin: Amp up your character’s look with this.
- Reversible Cover: Aesthetic matters, even for a game case.
- Collectible Acrylic Display: This is exclusive to Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop, while supplies last.
“So, by purchasing the Physical Edition in any of these stores, fans will get good bonuses, and there will be much more of them compared to the Digital Standard Edition for the same price.”
Straight to Gameplay: Digital Standard Edition
Let’s say you’re not into hoarding physical items, but you still want to get into the game as soon as possible. The Digital Standard Edition has you covered. For $60, you can buy it from:
- Steam
- Epic Games
- Nintendo eShop
- PlayStation Store
- Xbox Games Store
Unlike the Physical Edition, the frills are fewer here. What you do get, though, is the Lego Eggman In-Game Character Skin. But hey, the convenience of immediate download and play could be worth it.
“Compared to the Physical Edition, buyers will not receive as many gifts, as the advantage of the previous edition is that the disk comes with the physical items mentioned above.”
For the Sonic Connoisseur: Digital Deluxe Edition
Ah, the Digital Deluxe Edition—every Sonic fan’s dream! At $70, it’s the priciest among the three but loaded with bonuses that make those extra ten bucks well-spent.
Available at:
- Steam
- Epic Games
- Nintendo eShop
- PlayStation Store
- Xbox Games Store
And what does parting with $70 fetch you?
- Lego Fun Pack: More characters, more fun.
- Digital Artbook: A visual feast for Sonic aficionados.
- Mini Original Soundtrack: Your playlist just got cooler.
- Sonic Rabbit Skin & Mecha Sonic Skin for Battle Mode: Skins for days!
- Bonus Main Menu Wallpapers: Jazz up your gaming experience.
“Paying $10 more, buyers will receive many more bonuses than in the Digital Standard Edition, namely: Lego Fun Pack, Digital Artbook, Mini Original Soundtrack, Sonic Rabbit Skin, Mecha Sonic Skin for Battle Mode, and Bonus Main Menu Wallpapers.”
Final Lap: The Verdict
To sum it up, Sonic Superstars has something for everyone. From the traditionalist gamer who enjoys physical copies to the modern player who wants instant digital access, the choice is yours to make. And if you’re looking for a luxurious experience, the Digital Deluxe Edition is the ultimate fan service.
Sonic Superstars releases October 17 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Make your choice and get ready to hit the track!
