How to choose without overpaying
Start with platform: only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are announced for launch. If your plan is PC, do not buy a console SKU hoping for free migration—that path is not announced.
Use Standard if you want the base game at the lower US reference list price and will re-check the live offer for preorder extras.
Use Ultimate only if the live store’s itemized Ultimate benefits are worth the step-up for you. Do not rely on a social-media bullet list alone—open the official product page.
Before you confirm payment
- Platform on the receipt matches the console you own.
- Edition name matches Standard or Ultimate—not a vague “bundle” from a third party.
- Region of the storefront matches the account that will play.
- You saved a screenshot of the itemized contents shown at checkout.
