The Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector’s Edition is a premium package for fans of Hideo Kojima’s upcoming PS5 exclusive, set to release on June 26, 2025. Priced at $229.99, it’s available exclusively through PlayStation Direct, with pre-orders having opened on March 17, 2025. Unlike the standard edition, this version offers 48-hour early access, letting you play starting June 24, 2025. However, it’s worth noting that it includes a digital download code rather than a physical disc, which has sparked some debate among collectors.
Here’s what’s included:
Digital Content: A full game download, plus all the perks from the Digital Deluxe Edition—early unlock of the Machine Gun (MP Bullets) LV1, Gold Battle, Boost, and Bokka Skeletons (each at Levels 1-3), and three unique patches (Quokka, Chiral Feline, Why Me?). Pre-order bonuses also add a Custom Hologram (Quokka) and Silver variants of the Battle, Boost, and Bokka Skeletons (Levels 1-3).
Physical Items: A 15-inch Magellan Man statue (a detailed figure of the tar-like enemy from the trailers), a 3-inch Dollman figurine (Sam’s companion), art cards featuring game characters like Higgs, a letter from Hideo Kojima, and a collector’s box to house it all.
The standout piece is the Magellan Man statue, overseen by artist Yoji Shinkawa during production for quality. While it’s a hefty collectible, some fans have expressed disappointment over the lack of a physical disc or steelbook, a trend reflecting the industry’s shift toward digital media. If you’re after this edition, it’s limited in quantity, so availability may have tightened since the pre-order launch. For comparison, the standard edition is $69.99 and available at retailers like Amazon or Best Buy, while the Digital Deluxe Edition is $79.99 on the PlayStation Store.
