Everything Included in the Baldur’s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition

The Baldur’s Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition costs $79.99 USD on PS5 or $69.99 USD on PC.

While it might not seem possible to get the Baldur’s Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition on PC, Larian Studios Games confirmed via the Steam early access notes that anybody who bought Baldur’s Gate 3 early access on PC will automatically receive a free Digital Deluxe upgrade.

Here’s what is included in the Digital Deluxe Edition of Baldur’s Gate 3:

• Everything included in the Standard Edition
• 72-hour early access to Act 1
• Divinity Bard Song Pack
• Exclusive Dice Skin
• Mask of the Shapeshifter
• Cape of the Red Prince
• Lute of the Merryweather Bard
• Needle of the Outlaw Rogue
• Bicorne of the Sea Beast
• Paintings from Rivellon
• Adventurer’s Pouch
• Digital OST
• Digital Artbook
• Digital Character Sheets

From the early access alone, I would say the Baldur’s Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition is worth it. If you can’t wait to create your character, pick a class, and explore the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, then you have to get the Digital Deluxe Edition. I mean, come on, it’s only $10 more or free if you already own Baldur’s Gate 3 early access on PC.

The myriad of in-game bonus weapons and armor for specific classes are an added bonus and the digital OST, artbook, and character sheets really sell it. I would recommend getting the Digital Deluxe if you’re thinking about it. Treat yourself.

Is the Bladur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition Worth It?

The real question is: is the Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition worth it? First, the price. The Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition costs $269.99 USD, which is almost $200 more than the Digital Deluxe Edition. Okay, that’s really expensive, but what does the Collector’s Edition get you?

Here is everything included in Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition:

• Everything included in the Digital Deluxe Edition
• Digital copy of the game
• Mind Flayer-inspired collector’s box
• Exclusive in-game dice skin
• Custom sticker sheet
• 25cm Mind Flayer vs. Drow battle diorama
• 160-page hardcover art book
• Cloth map of Faerûn
• A set of D&D-inspired origin character sheets
• Metal tadpole keyring
• Magic: The Gathering booster pack
• Custom-engraved metal d20 based on the dice from Baldur’s Gate 3
• Certificate of authenticity

The name says it all, right? If you’re a collector, and one that especially loves D&D, then I’d say the Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition is worth it. I love Divinity: Original Sin 2, but I’m not a major D&D or Baldur’s Gate loyalist. Because of that, I’m not planning on getting the Collector’s Edition. I think the people who are going to get the Collector’s Edition know exactly who they are.
