Until Dawn 2: How to Pre-Order on PS5 (Editions and Bonuses)

Both digital editions are live on the PlayStation Store, with Dr. Hill bonuses for every pre-order ahead of the January 28, 2027 launch.

Both digital editions are live on the PlayStation Store, with Dr. Hill bonuses for every pre-order ahead of the January 28, 2027 launch.

Until Dawn 2 pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store, and there are two digital versions to choose from before the game arrives on PS5 on January 28, 2027. Firesprite is building the interactive horror sequel with narrative studio AdHoc Studio, and pre-ordering either edition locks in a set of Dr. Hill cosmetic bonuses.

Quick answer: Open the Until Dawn 2 PlayStation Store page, pick the Standard Edition ($49.99 / £44.99) or the Digital Deluxe Edition ($54.99 / £49.99), and complete checkout. Both editions include the same pre-order bonus content.

Until Dawn 2 editions and prices

The two versions differ by price and extra cosmetic content. The Digital Deluxe Edition adds two packs on top of the base game, and those extras are tied to the Deluxe version rather than something you unlock through normal play.

EditionPriceWhat’s included
Standard Edition$49.99 / £44.99Full base game with the complete story and choice system
Digital Deluxe Edition$54.99 / £49.99Base game plus the Y2K Neon Vibes Pack and the Diorama of Death gallery

The Y2K Neon Vibes Pack dresses all eight members of the Dead True crew, including Owen, Mina, Nate, Reagan, Izzy, Luke, Josie, and Cameron, in neon costumes. The Diorama of Death is a gallery of vignettes that lets you revisit every character death from different angles. A physical boxed edition has also been confirmed for players who prefer a disc.

Pre-order bonuses for every edition

Pre-ordering the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition unlocks the same three bonus items at launch, all centered on the returning psychiatrist Dr. Hill (voiced again by Peter Stormare):

  • Dr. Hill Until Dawn classic outfit
  • Dr. Hill Akishima Island holiday outfit
  • Dr. Hill collector’s bobbleheads to find in-game

These bonuses are cosmetic and are not required to play through the story. If you already know you want the game, pre-ordering simply puts them in your inventory from day one.

How to pre-order Until Dawn 2

Go to the Until Dawn 2 product page on the PlayStation Store, either in a browser or through the PS Store app on your PS5.
Choose the Standard Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition. Confirm the price matches your region before continuing.
Complete the transaction with your account payment method. Once the purchase goes through, the game shows as pre-ordered in your library, and the Dr. Hill bonus content is attached to that order for launch.

Release date, platform, and preload

Until Dawn 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on January 28, 2027. There is no announced PC, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch 2 version at this time. With the release set for early next year, players can expect preloading to become available closer to launch.

The sequel follows Dead True, a group of ghost-hunting content creators who stage paranormal shoots for views. After their new intern uncovers something real at Blackwood Sanatorium, a survivor’s warning sends the crew to Akishima Island, an abandoned South Pacific resort. The Butterfly Effect choice system returns, so decisions large and small shape who lives and who dies before the story ends.

Whether you go digital or wait for the boxed copy, the pre-order bonuses are identical across editions, so the only real decision is whether the Y2K neon costumes and the Diorama of Death gallery are worth the extra $5 for the Digital Deluxe version.
