Is it worth buying Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition
(Image via FromSoftware Inc.) With the arrival of Elden Ring Nightreign , the fans are facing the dilemma of whether or not they must spend on the game's Deluxe Edition . With the edition promising exclusive perks, it's priced higher than the standard version of the game. But does the exclusivity justify the price tag? Here is what's included in it and whether or not the content of the edition would truly enhance the experience. What comes with the Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition? Elden Ring Nightreign - Standard vs Deluxe Edition Which Edition Should you Buy? The Deluxe Edition of the game, priced at $54.99, bundles the base game with the post-launch DLCs, mini soundtrack, and the digital artbook. The pre-orders even include the 'It's Raining' gesture, the emote for the in-game flair. Despite being vague in scope, the DLCs are expected to introduce the new bosses and the playable characters. It aligns with the tradition of expansive expansions by FromSoftware . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Un segundo ingreso para ecuatorianos: prueba Cervecería Nacional CFD (Inicia hoy). las inversiones de hoy Ver oferta Undo For the collectors, the soundtrack and artbook offer a deeper level of immersion in the dark fantasy world of Nightreign. While these are not important for the gameplay, they do cater to the fans who are invested in the storytelling and game design. The real draw of Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition remains its DLC access, which could save money in the long term if the expansions after the post-launch remain priced separately. If you are, though, just a casual player, you might find the game's $39.99 Standard Edition sufficient. It is also a safer bet if you are not sure about the multiplayer focus of the game, departing from the solo-heavy design of Elden Ring. The core experience either way will remain intact. The DLC can be purchased later on if it delivers compelling content. Is the upgrade worth it? The worth of Deluxe Edition hinges on the engagement of players with the universe of Elden Ring. If you are someone who relishes dissecting concept art or are craving every single gameplay shred, it's a smart investment. For the others, Standard Edition will deliver similar brutal combat and competitive thrills without any extras. Ultimately, the replayable structure of Elden Ring Nightreign— quicker sessions and randomized maps means the base game will offer hours of content alone. Until and unless the collectibles or DLCs are non-negotiable, saving $15 will be a wise move. Just prepare to die in style as you enjoy the adventures of the Nightreign.

Microsoft increases prices on Xbox consoles, and more
London, UK – Microsoft has officially announced significant price increases across its Xbox product line, impacting consoles, accessories, and, later this year, first-party video game titles. The company cited 'market conditions and the rising cost of development' as primary reasons for the adjustments. Effective immediately, the price hike affects all Xbox Series consoles globally. Notably, the Xbox Series S (512GB) now retails at $379.99, up from $299.99, while the Xbox Series X (Standard Edition) rises to $599.99 from its previous $499.99. The limited Galaxy Special Edition of the Series X now costs $729.99, marking a considerable $130 increase. In terms of accessories, wireless controllers will see price revisions ranging from $64.99 to $89.99 depending on the model. The Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (Full Package) increases to $199.99 from $179.99. Meanwhile, U.S. and Canadian customers will also face higher prices on Xbox headsets, with the Wireless Headset now priced at $119.99, up from $109.99. Although game prices remain unchanged for now, Microsoft confirmed that by the 2025 holiday season, new first-party titles will be priced at $79.99. This move aligns Xbox with broader industry trends, following similar price strategies adopted by both PlayStation and Nintendo. In an official statement Microsoft said: 'We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players.' Upcoming first-party titles expected to adopt the $79.99 pricing include Call of Duty 2025, Fable, Perfect Dark, Clockwork Revolution, Everwild, Gears of War: E-Day, OD (by Hideo Kojima), and State of Decay 3. Fans may receive additional details during Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Games Showcase and The Outer Worlds 2 Direct event in June. This marks the first price increase for the Xbox Series S since its 2020 launch. Microsoft had previously refrained from raising U.S. prices during earlier global adjustments in 2023, even as competitors such as Sony introduced multiple regional increases on PlayStation 5 hardware. As economic pressures continue to impact manufacturing and development costs across the gaming sector, analysts expect further pricing recalibrations to remain a possibility industry-wide.

The project, developed by Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos, began in 2021 and uses Unreal Engine 5 to deliver updated environments, detailed models, and realistic lighting. 'We never wanted to remake it – but remaster it – where the original game was there as you remember playing it, but seen through today's technology,' Bethesda stated in its launch announcement. 'Every piece of art, animation, special effects, and part of the world would be remastered.' The Standard Edition includes the full game, plus the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions and various downloadable content. A Deluxe Edition adds new quests, a digital artbook, and the soundtrack. Gameplay improvements include redesigned combat animations, a newly added sprint function, improved UI, and revised character models. A revamped third-person mode now features a crosshair and smoother controls, bringing it closer in style to Bethesda's recent titles like Starfield. Bethesda also confirmed updated voiceovers with unique voices for each in-game race, while retaining the original cast where possible. The remastered levelling system and quality of life features aim to enhance the player experience without compromising the original's charm. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is priced at $49.99 for the Standard Edition and $59.99 for the Deluxe Edition on Steam.
