By DayOneFix Editorial · August 24, 2026
Halloween: The Game is $39.99 for the Standard Edition and $59.99 for the digital Deluxe Edition. Physical arrives separately on 6 October: $39.99 for the boxed Standard and $149.99 for the limited Collector’s Edition. Every version pre-ordered also gets the Phantom Michael Myers skin, which the official announcement says will not be offered after launch.
The digital prices are consistent across Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. Epic Games Store pricing is not verified on this page — see the caveats at the bottom.

What the digital Deluxe Edition actually contains
Three named things plus a fourth that is deliberately not named:
- Inmate Michael Myers — a skin for the killer.
- Richard and Alexis — two civilian characters exclusive to this edition.
- “And More Surprises!” — the official wording, verbatim. Nothing has been said about what those are, so nothing on this page counts them.
- Advance Access — the ability to play from 4 September 2026 at 9 AM PT, four days before the 8 September release, on a Deluxe pre-order.
Steam corroborates the Advance Access entitlement independently of the announcement: the Deluxe package carries an “Advance Access / Starts Sep 4” marker and the line “play the game starting 4 days ahead of full release”, while the $39.99 Standard package carries no such marker.
Is the Deluxe Edition worth $20 more?
We will not tell you whether the content is good — nobody has played it. What we can do is state exactly what the extra $20 buys, which is the part people actually get wrong:
You are paying $20 for four items and four days. One Michael Myers skin, two exclusive civilian characters, an unspecified “more surprises”, and access starting 4 September instead of 8 September.
Three factual points that bear on the decision:
- The Phantom Michael Myers skin is not a Deluxe feature. It is the pre-order bonus, and it comes with a pre-ordered Standard Edition too. If that skin is what you wanted, it is available at $39.99.
- The four days are tied to pre-ordering. The announcement frames Advance Access around Deluxe pre-orders. Whether buying the Deluxe Edition after the pre-order window still grants 4 September access has not been stated. Do not assume it does.
- Richard and Alexis are civilians, not killers. There is exactly one killer in the game — Michael Myers — and no second killer has ever been announced. Deluxe adds playable characters on the four-person side of a 1v4 match, not a new killer.
The physical editions, and the Advance Access wording trap
The physical Standard and the limited Collector’s Edition both release 6 October 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X. There is no announced physical PC release.
The $149.99 Collector’s Edition contains the Samhain skin, four civilian cosmetic items, a Shape Jump figure and a mirrored art card.
Now the trap, because the official site uses “Advance Access” for two unrelated things. On the digital Deluxe Edition it means early play. On the physical editions it means cosmetics, and the announcement says so directly:
“The Advance Access cosmetic items can be instantly unlocked for players who purchase the physical editions”
So a physical buyer gets those cosmetic items unlocked instantly — not the ability to play before release. Which would be impossible regardless: the boxes arrive on 6 October, a month after the digital launch on 8 September.
Three things to know before you buy
These are on the store pages rather than in the marketing, and each one is a genuine buying consideration for some people.
Easy Anti-Cheat, kernel-level. It is listed on the Steam store page. If you have a policy about kernel-level anti-cheat on your machine — some players do, for dual-boot, virtualisation or security reasons — this is the game telling you in advance.
In-game purchases. Steam carries the “In-Game Purchases” notice, and PlayStation labels them as optional. Separately, the developer team has described in-game currency as being in planning. No storefront, battle pass, season pass or DLC has been announced, and Steam’s listing shows no DLC entries at all. What the in-game purchases will be is therefore an open question — the disclosure exists, the detail does not.
Australia and New Zealand cannot buy any of these editions. The Australian Classification Board refused the game a rating over drug use linked to an incentive or reward, and the publisher’s statement says plainly that it cannot sell “the physical or digital product in both Australia and New Zealand”. That applies to every row of the table above, and no appeal has been announced.
What is not verified
- Epic Games Store pricing and edition lineup. Epic is a confirmed launch platform, but its store page did not return data when we checked, so this page makes no claim about Epic prices or which editions it carries. The $39.99 and $59.99 figures are verified on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox.
- Regional pricing. Everything here is US dollars on US storefronts. Nothing on this page claims a specific price in any other currency.
- Whether Deluxe bought after the pre-order window still grants Advance Access.
- What “And More Surprises!” contains.
- Any post-launch roadmap, season pass or DLC, and Xbox Game Pass availability — none announced, in either direction.
- How many Michael Myers skins exist in total. Three are named across the editions and the pre-order bonus — Inmate, Phantom and Samhain — but no total has been published.

Sources
The $39.99 Standard and $59.99 Deluxe digital prices were checked separately on the Steam, PlayStation and Xbox listings on 24 August 2026 and agree. From the Steam store listing, also checked 24 August 2026: the Deluxe package’s “Advance Access / Starts Sep 4” marker and its “play the game starting 4 days ahead of full release” line, the absence of that marker on the Standard package, the In-Game Purchases notice, the Easy Anti-Cheat listing, and the absence of any DLC entries.
The Deluxe contents (Inmate Michael Myers, Richard, Alexis, “And More Surprises!”), the Phantom Michael Myers pre-order bonus and the statement that it will not be offered after launch come from the official pre-order announcement. The physical Standard at $39.99, the Collector’s Edition at $149.99, their 6 October 2026 date and PS5/Xbox Series X scope, the Collector’s contents, and the quoted line about Advance Access cosmetic items unlocking instantly for physical buyers all come from the official physical editions announcement. Both checked 24 August 2026.
The Australia and New Zealand sales statement is quoted from the publisher as carried by VGC on 10 August 2026, with the classification ground reported by Press Start Australia on 14 August 2026. The in-game-currency-in-planning note is a developer remark relayed in Horror Geek Life’s IllFonic Q&A of 16 July 2026, not an official store statement, and is labelled as such above.
Epic Games Store pricing is absent here because the Epic listing did not return data on 24 August 2026 — that is a gap in our checking, not a claim that Epic prices differ. Every other item marked unverified or unannounced means all of the sources above were checked on that date and none of them contains it.
