Minecraft Dungeons II guide

Start with Standard unless you want Deluxe

Updated September 7, 2026 · Based on announced systems and publisher previews · Releases September 29, 2026

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.

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.

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.

Pay for Deluxe only when the listed extras already matter to you.
