Minecraft Dungeons II guide
Start with Standard unless you want Deluxe
Start with Standard unless you already want the Deluxe cosmetics and the two DLC packs as they release. The listed pre-order offer applies to Standard and Deluxe, so you do not need Deluxe just for the Twisted Cape.
Standard is the clear default when you want the base game. Deluxe makes sense only when its listed cosmetics and future DLC are already part of what you plan to buy.
What the extra purchase includes
The Steam listing, viewed September 6, showed a $20 difference in USD. Treat that figure as a listing snapshot, not a tax-inclusive checkout total or a price for every region.
| Includes | Standard | Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Base game | Included | Included |
| Displayed USD price | $29.99 | $49.99 |
| Soul Cape, Blub pet, and four hero skins | Not listed | Included |
| DLC 1 and DLC 2 | Not listed | Available as released |
Keep the pre-order offer separate
The listed pre-order offer for Standard and Deluxe includes two hero skins, the Twisted Cape, and the Twisted chicken pet. It is dated to expire September 28, 2026, without a stated cutoff hour or timezone.
Choose Deluxe for the Deluxe extras. Choose either edition during the offer if the Twisted items are what you want.
Keep planning: Follow the cape steps
Use a simple default
Buy Standard when the base game is all you need today. Switch to Deluxe when you value the Soul Cape, Blub pet, four hero skins, and DLC 1 and DLC 2 as they are released. If you expect to play through Game Pass, check the actual plan before buying either edition.
