Digimon Story Time Stranger Pre Order Bonus
Yes, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is rolling out with some solid pre-order incentives, and honestly, they feel like thoughtful little treats for the fans. If you lock in any edition early, you’ll pick up a “Bonus Pack” featuring trainable Black Agumon and Black Gabumon, which, as anyone who’s spent late-night hours min-maxing their team can appreciate, are fan favorites and look just a bit cooler than their regular counterparts. The pack also throws in school uniform costumes for the Yuki twins (Dan and Kanan – if you know, you know), plus a handy adventure item bundle: Medical Spray DX, Multi-Recovery DX, and a handful of other battle-boosting goodies. Are these costumes game-changers? Not at all, but I’ll admit, sometimes all it takes is a fresh look to lighten the grind. Japan’s also getting physical bonuses (think: exclusive trading cards), but for most of us outside Asia, it’s the digital rewards that matter – and they’re… just fun.
Platform Availability
Here’s where it’s really shaping up for modern players: Digimon Story: Time Stranger is launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam), all on day one October 3rd, 2025. I know, I know: no Switch love, at least for now. Kind of a bummer if you’re hoping to make it a portable monster-raising adventure, but on the upside, the visuals look great on next-gen so far. Anecdotally, a buddy and I have both been burned before by missed releases on older-gen consoles, so the modern-gen-only approach stings a little less these days. The digital editions are everywhere, but if you’re like me and like a physical box for the shelf, PS5 and Xbox will have retail copies as well.
Ultimate And Deluxe Editions
There’s definitely a choice to be made if you’re eyeing more than just the base game. The digital Deluxe Edition lays out the red carpet: the base game, all the pre-order goodies, a Cyber Sleuth costume set (throwback to one of the best Digimon RPGs, honestly), and a chunky Season Pass that promises three future DLC drops plus a slick Golden Moai farm item. But the Ultimate Edition? That’s serious fan service stuff: everything from the Deluxe, plus early unlocks for special Digimon, extra costumes (public safety suits, swimwear, yeah, that’s a thing), the full Cyber Sleuth BGM soundtrack, and more. It isn’t cheap, but if you're the type to want it all, there’s really no other way, and you absolutely get to flex that BGM pack in battle. On a side note, physical Ultimate Editions in the US come with an artbook and collectible cards, and in Japan, unique trinkets like a diorama and an art mirror are thrown in.
So, whether you’re here for the bonuses or just hungry for the next chapter, there’s an edition—and a few sweet treats waiting for you in the digital world. Whether that’s enough to tempt your inner tamer? For some of us, it totally is.
