FF Resonance Pre-Order Guide: Every Edition, Bonus and Price Compared

By FF Resonance Wiki Team ·

Verdict first: the Standard Edition is the complete game — no gacha, no season pass announced. Pre-order any edition and you get the bonus item pack; miss the pre-order and you still have until November 6, 2026 to grab the early-purchase bonus. The only edition with a real clock on it is the Collector’s Edition: it’s a Square Enix Store exclusive, and Final Fantasy collector runs historically sell out before launch.

Here is every edition, every bonus and every deadline, sourced from the official listings — we update this guide as new retailer information lands.

Every edition at a glance

Collector’s$209.99Square Enix Store exclusiveBase game + all Digital Deluxe bonuses + physical goods (full list below)

Prices shown are the Steam / US figures ($49.99 is also the official suggested retail price across platforms, per Square Enix’s press release). The game launches October 22, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store — see everything we know for the full platform rundown.

The pre-order bonus pack (all platforms)

Pre-order on any platform and you receive this bonus pack, per the official Steam listing:

  • Magitek Airship Passkey — a cosmetic Magitek transformation for your airship
  • Knight’s Greatsword — a weapon
  • Chestplate of Preparation — armor that boosts EXP gain
  • Magicite Shard
  • 3x Tent
  • 3x Mist Potion

Everything listed is equipment and consumables — a head start, not a gate.

Digital Deluxe: the Magitek & Grimoire Deluxe Pack

For $10 more, the Digital Deluxe Edition adds the Magitek & Grimoire Deluxe Pack:

  • Magitek Armor Key — a Magitek transformation for your chocobo
  • Archwitch’s Grimoire — unlocks an exclusive Limit Burst, the only officially “exclusive” gameplay unlock in any edition
  • Mastery Ring
  • An expanded consumable bundle: 5x Tent, 5x potions and ethers, 5x Phoenix Down and 3x Remedy

If the exclusive Limit Burst speaks to you, this is the cheapest way to get it — it is also included with the Collector’s Edition.

Collector’s Edition: $209.99, Square Enix Store only

The Collector’s Edition is sold exclusively on the Square Enix Store. Per the official store listing, it includes the game, all Digital Deluxe bonuses, and:

  • Acrylic block set — self-standing 8 mm pixel-art acrylic blocks of the main characters, summons and bosses
  • 120-page hardcover pixel-art book
  • 4-CD soundtrack with 120 tracks — the store listing credits the Elements Garden lineup behind Brave Exvius (Noriyasu Agematsu, Seima Kondo, Ryota Tomaru, Junpei Fujita, Hitoshi Fujima), covering the FFBE score plus 33 brand-new tracks
  • Exclusive Final Fantasy Trading Card Game promotional card

FFBE veterans, note what that soundtrack means: the music that defined the original arc returns on disc. If you’re on the fence, remember the store exclusivity — there is no retail backstop if it sells out.

Missed the pre-order? The November 6 early-purchase window

Square Enix is also running an early-purchase bonus until November 6, 2026 — roughly two weeks after launch. Buy the game by then (no pre-order required) and you get:

  • Blessed Cuirass — armor that increases gil earned
  • Mist Ether

In other words: pre-ordering is never mandatory. If you’d rather wait for launch reviews, you lose the pre-order pack but keep the early-purchase bonus.

Platform availability and the Switch 2 caveat

  • Digital: every platform — Switch 2, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Microsoft Store.
  • Physical: Switch, Switch 2 and PS5, with pre-orders open on the Square Enix Store. No physical Xbox or PC release has been announced.

⚠ Retailer-sourced, not yet confirmed by Square Enix: retailer listings describe the Switch 2 physical edition as a Game-Key Card — the card does not contain the full game, and a download of roughly 13 GB is required. If owning the game on the cartridge itself matters to you, factor that in before choosing your physical platform. We will update this section as soon as Square Enix confirms the format either way.

So, which edition?

  • You just want the game: Standard. Pre-order if the bonus pack tempts you; otherwise the November 6 window has you covered.
  • You want the exclusive Limit Burst and the convenience items: Digital Deluxe — $10 for the only edition-exclusive gameplay content.
  • You’re a collector or an FFBE veteran who wants that soundtrack: Collector’s Edition, ordered early, directly from the Square Enix Store.
