I’ll leave you to read our Ghost of Tsushima review (opens in new tab) in full but, as Rachel says, it really is a fitting swansong for the PS4 generation. Created by Sucker Punch, the team behind inFamous and Sly Cooper, this new open-world adventure takes place in feudal Japan and tasks you with holding off hordes of Mongol invaders. Doing so won’t be easy, either; you’ll need to learn “the way of the Ghost” to get the upper hand in what looks to be a drop-dead gorgeous battle for survival. 

The Collector’s and Special Editions of the PS4 version may be harder to find nowadays, but they are still out there. Somewhere. And that Director’s Cut really is going to be a great entry point and returning point for players. We’ve rounded up the latest prices and deal for all of them.

And while you wait for your copy to arrive, perhaps you can spend some time swotting up and preparing with our Ghost of Tsushima guide (opens in new tab), which includes a great place to start: the best Ghost of Tsushima tips (opens in new tab).

Ghost of Tsushima prices – Director’s Cut

When it arrives on August 20 this year – a matter of weeks away! – the Director’s Cut will easily be the best place for newcomers to jump into Ghost of Tsushima. Featuring a brand new Iki Island expansion and access to a whole host of PS5 features the Director’s Cut is the fullest and most bombastic experience of Ghost of Tsushima that will be available.

If you want to consider the lowest cost method to get the Director’s Cut if you already own a copy of the game, then that upgrade, on either platform, will incur a smaller cost:

– From PS4 Director’s Cut to PS5 Director’s Cut will be $9.99.
– From standard PS4 Ghost of Tsushima to PS5 Director’s Cut will be $29.99.

Ghost of Tsushima prices and deals – Standard Edition

Get Ghost of Tsushima in its most straightforward form with the standard edition. Lovely. And remember, if you can find a cheap copy of the PS4 version, you may end up being able to get it, and the upgrade cost for lower than a PS5 Director’s Cut version too! Might be worth considering that to save some beans.

Ghost of Tsushima prices and deals – Special Edition

A Special Edition has arrived, too, and includes a Steelbook version of the game, case plus a voucher for an in-game skin for a Hero of Tsushima mask and sword skin, a Charm of Hachiman’s Favor, one technique point, the Director’s Commentary, and a digital copy of the mini-version of the artbook. Nice.

Note: now we’re long after launch, finding this edition is increasingly difficult, and prices are wildly varying when it does crop up. The below links go to the right pages though.

Ghost of Tsushima prices and deals – Collector’s Edition

The pick of the Ghost of Tsushima edition bunch is definitely the Collector’s Edition. This features an already-iconic mask that’s a replica of the in-game item. It comes on an individually numbered stand so you know it’s yours alone. As well as that headline act, you’ll get a sashimono (war banner) that’s nearly four and half feet long, and a traditional-style furoshiki (wrapping cloth). You’ll also get a copy of the game with the steelbook case, a physical 48-page mini art book, and a full-world, printed-on-cloth map. This consists of a digital copy of the art book, the director’s commentary, the Charm of Hachiman’s Favor, a Samurai PS4 theme, and the Hero of Tsushima skin set. That. Is a lot of goodies. Note: stock is fluctuating wildly of this edition, too, so you’ll have to act fast, be patient, both, or be very lucky – the link below will get you to where you need to be nonetheless, however.

Deathloop is going to be a PS5 and PC exclusive – albeit a timed one – so players on those platforms can act now and nail down their Deathloop pre-order. If you’re like me and are planning to double up on big game pre-orders that month, I believe that picking up both a Mass Effect Legendary Edition pre-order as well as a Deathloop pre-order means – I think – that you have to play all of the former before the latter in *checks notes* a week. Them’s the rules.

Deathloop on PS5 certainly looks like a very interesting prospect though, and that’s due to it being able to harness all the power and opportunities the PS5 presents. The controller is undoubtedly a key part of this. For example, we know that weapons will jam and you’ll feel them in the DualSense, particular if you have early, limited weapons; you’ll feel distinct nuances in recoil and reloading animations that vary from weapon to weapon; and you’ll feel the movement’s of Colt translated through the DualSense, down to the feel of each different surface your traversing.

Overall, however, the game looks like an absolute treat once again from Arkane. There’s the immersive sim-flavoured setting and story, draped in a retro 60s-inspired aesthetic, a mix of supernatural powers as well as cool weapon mechanics, and some intriguing characters and targets to boot. We can’t wait to place our Deathloop pre-order and neither should you. Here’s the lowdown on how to preorder Deathloop and what’s occurring with each edition available.

The best Deathloop pre-order prices and deals

There are only two editions of the game on offer, which should make a Deathloop pre-order relatively easy. Picking between the Standard and Deluxe versions of the game shouldn’t make you lose too much sleep.

Whatever version you choose you do get the following pre-order bonuses:

• A unique Weapon in the form of the Royal Protector Machete (PS5 Exclusive)
• A character Skin in the form of “Storm Rider” Colt 
• One Trinket (an equippable buff)

Pre-order Deathloop – Standard Edition

The Standard Edition of Deathloop is pretty modest, offering just the game itself. That said, Deathloop feels like it’s going to be one of the games of the year already so you’ll still get much bang for buck – plus those pre-order bonuses mentioned above. Here’s what prices are looking like right now:

Getting the most out of Deathloop

Given that Deathloop is currently exclusive to PS5 and PC, it’s not too hard to make sure you’ll be playing in the best place possible, but if you haven’t picked up your PS5 yet, check out our where to buy a PS5 guide to see if there’s any remaining stock. If PC gaming is more your territory then one of the best gaming laptops or best gaming PCs will be worth a look.

And after the systems themselves, it’ll be worth making sure your entire setup will be up-to-scratch. For seeing better, why not try one of the best gaming monitors or best gaming TVs – specifically the best TV for PS5 for console players. And to immerse yourself further, it’ll be wise to make sure you’ve got enough of the PS5 accessories, one of the best PS5 headsets, or one of the best PC headsets for gaming.

If you’re still unsure whether you should the game a go, then consider giving Alex’s The Outer Worlds review (opens in new tab) a read over – spoilers, he liked it and it’ll get you excited for it, 100 percent. But, in brief, The Outer Worlds is a story-driven role-playing game from the team behind Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity. Set in a distant future where corporations rule everything, you play the role of ‘The Stranger’: an unlucky colonist who was lost in transit on their way to a new life. It’s all about choices and the consequences of them – Obsidian confirmed before release that every NPC in The Outer Worlds can permanently die (opens in new tab), for example. SO, all this makes The Outer Worlds perfect if you’re a fan of franchises like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls.

If you want to actually see what it’s like then check out 20 minutes of raw The Outer Worlds gameplay footage (opens in new tab) from the Tokyo Game Show last year. And if that convinces you to fork out for the best Outer Worlds price currently going then you can also take solace in the fact that Microsoft believes The Outer Worlds will be “an enduring franchise”, hinting at a sequel (opens in new tab) already.

It’s very much worth noting that while it is indeed out for most platforms, it isn’t quite there yet for Nintendo Switch players – you guys have to wait a little longer ahead of its June 5th, 2020, release date. However, you’ll still find the latest and greatest Outer Worlds pre-order prices below for Switch to get ahead of the game and nail your copy down with.

The best Outer Worlds prices and deals

Rather unusually, but in an excellent, refreshing kind of way, The Outer Worlds is not a game of many different editions. There’s no extra fuss here: no super mega huge collector’s editions with statues or special editions with digital-only bonuses, just the game, for the best price, on your platform of choice.

Getting the most out of The Outer Worlds

Undoubtedly, you’ll want to optimize your gaming setup to get the best out of your The Outer Worlds deal. If you’re a console gamer, then we’d recommend you check out upgrading to the top models of the major consoles available with either one of the best PS4 Pro deals (opens in new tab) or one of the best Xbox One X deals (opens in new tab) going. If PC is your gaming haven, then consider boosting your setup with one of the best gaming PCs (opens in new tab) or best gaming laptops (opens in new tab) to immerse you in the glories that The Outer Worlds will bring to your eyes. And with the advent of a Nintendo Switch release date, you should definitely check out the best Nintendo Switch bundles (opens in new tab) going too – though Switch stock is pretty hard to come by nowadays, we’ll tell you that for free.

Speaking of being immersed in The Outer Worlds’ environments and lands, make sure you see it as crisply and beautifully as possible with one of the best gaming monitors (opens in new tab) or best gaming TVs (opens in new tab). These will give you the best means to enjoy every detail but also smooth out your gameplay too. Finally, ensure you have a solid gaming sound system (opens in new tab) or go for one of the best PS4 headsets (opens in new tab), best Xbox headsets (opens in new tab) or one of the best PC headsets for gaming (opens in new tab).

It does seem like a massive undertaking, and of course no one can upgrade all of this at once, but if you can upgrade or optimize any of your setup in these areas, you’ll have an even better time with The Outer Worlds.
