Which Version of Tekken 8 is Best?
Choosing the right edition depends on individual preferences. The Ultimate Edition, while offering additional avatar-related cosmetics, may be unnecessary for those less interested in these items. The Deluxe Edition, with the Year 1 Pass, provides early access to four DLC fighters, a potential draw for dedicated players.
Considerations:
- Year 1 Pass: Provides early access to four DLC fighters, including confirmed character Eddy Gordo.
- Ultimate Edition Extras: Primarily includes avatar-related items, making it ideal for those keen on cosmetic enhancements.
- Standard Edition + Year 1 Pass: For those focused on DLC characters, may be a cost-effective option if pricing aligns with previous Tekken series patterns.
