- ANOMALITH digital deluxe edition bundles the artbook, mini soundtrack, and Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office DLC.

- Pre-order discounts (10% on both platforms, ending October 28) narrow the price gap to under £2.

- Collectors should also consider the physical PS5 Launch Edition (November 12) or the Japanese limited box.
Digital Deluxe Edition Overview
ANOMALITH, the survival horror third-person shooter from Furyu Corporation, launched digitally on October 28–29, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The digital deluxe edition sits above the Standard Edition on both console storefronts and packs in a surprisingly substantial set of extras — more than just the early access headline suggests.

- Why the PS5 Deluxe is the only version with early access
Every Deluxe purchase — on either platform — includes the same core bundle: an 80-page digital artbook, a digital mini soundtrack composed by Yuka Kitamura (Elden Ring, Sekiro, Bloodborne), and the Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office DLC set. The DLC set is where most of the gameplay value lives.
The Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office DLC includes: the Armed Schoolgirl Outfit set, a semi-automatic sniper rifle, a double-barreled shotgun, a prototype handgun, and a pack of additional consumable items.
| Item | Type | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| 80-page digital artbook | Digital extra | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| Digital mini soundtrack | Digital extra | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office DLC | DLC set | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| Armed Schoolgirl Outfit set | Cosmetic | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| Semi-auto sniper rifle / shotgun / prototype handgun | Bonus weapons | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| Consumable item pack | Bonus items | PS5 / Switch 2 |
| 48-hour early access (Oct 26 unlock) | Perk | PS5 only |
PS5 vs Switch 2 Deluxe Pricing
Pricing is where the comparison gets genuinely close — much closer than the Standard Edition gap. With both 10% pre-order discounts applied (running until October 28, 2026), the two Deluxe versions land within roughly £2 of each other in the UK.
| Version | Normal UK Price | With 10% Discount | US Price | Early Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Digital Deluxe | £57.99 | £52.19 (PS Plus) | $69.99 | Yes, 48 hours |
| Switch 2 Digital Deluxe | £59.99 | £53.99 (Nintendo) | Not listed | No |
| PS5 Standard | £39.99 | £35.99 (PS Plus) | $49.99 | No |
| Switch 2 Standard | £49.99 | £44.99 | Not listed | No |
At discount, the Switch 2 Deluxe (£53.99) is actually cheaper than the normal PS5 Deluxe price (£57.99) — but PS Plus members still pay slightly less (£52.19). Your decision should hinge on portability vs early access, not price.
The deluxe premium over Standard works out to roughly £18 on PS5 and £10 on Switch 2 after discounts, which makes the Switch 2 Deluxe comparatively easier to justify — you're getting the same DLC bundle for a smaller markup.
Is the Deluxe Worth It? Step-by-Step Decision
Work through these steps before checkout to confirm the Deluxe is the right pick for your playstyle.
Try the Free Demo First
A free demo is available on Steam. Test whether ANOMALITH's mix of third-person shooting, inventory management, and survival horror clicks before committing to any edition.
Check Your Platform Priorities
Value portability? Switch 2 Deluxe may win despite no early access. Want to play first and don't need handheld? PS5 Deluxe's 48-hour early access (October 26 unlock) is the deciding perk.
Apply the Pre-Order Discount
Confirm the 10% discount is active before October 28, 2026 — PS Plus members on PS5, and all pre-orders on the Nintendo eShop. This closes most of the price gap.
Weigh the DLC Contents
Ask whether bonus weapons (sniper rifle, shotgun, prototype handgun), an outfit set, consumables, and digital media justify the markup. You lose nothing from the story by staying Standard.
Verify Edition Timing
If you'd rather have a physical copy with an even bigger DLC bundle, the Western PS5 Launch Edition arrives November 12, 2026 — weigh the two-week wait.
The physical PS5 Launch Edition overlaps heavily with the Digital Deluxe — both include the sniper rifle, shotgun, and prototype handgun. Buying both digital and physical duplicates most bonus content.
Deluxe vs Every Other Edition
Beyond the two digital Deluxe versions, ANOMALITH has two collector-oriented options: the Western physical PS5 Launch Edition and Japan's limited Hazard Response Unit box.

FAQ
Q: What does the ANOMALITH digital deluxe edition include?
It includes the 80-page digital artbook, digital mini soundtrack, and the Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office DLC set — featuring the Armed Schoolgirl Outfit set, semi-automatic sniper rifle, double-barreled shotgun, prototype handgun, and bonus consumables. On PS5 it also adds 48-hour early access.
Q: Does the Switch 2 Digital Deluxe have early access?
No. The Nintendo listing does not advertise the 48-hour early access included with the PS5 Deluxe; the Switch 2 Deluxe unlocks at the standard October 28, 2026 release.
Q: Is the Deluxe worth it over the Standard Edition?
If you want the bonus weapons, outfit, artbook, and soundtrack, yes — especially on Switch 2 where the discounted premium is only about £9 over the discounted Standard. If you only care about the story campaign, the Standard Edition contains the complete experience.
Q: Do pre-order bonuses come with the Digital Deluxe?
Yes. Pre-ordering any edition adds the Lost Property Control Organization collaboration mission, a bonus outfit, and the T-6407J drone skin on top of the Deluxe contents.
