Best simple choice: buy Standard if you only want the full game. Choose Deluxe only if the named cosmetic packs and weapon themes are worth the price difference to you.
Standard and Deluxe compared
| Edition | Base game | Cosmetic extras | Gameplay advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Included | No Deluxe packs | None missing from the core game |
| Deluxe | Included | Grand Army of the Republic cosmetics, Shadow Collective cosmetics, and five painted weapon themes | None stated by EA |
EA Help lists exactly two digital editions: Standard and Deluxe. The official materials describe the Deluxe additions as cosmetic, including armor or appearance items, tattoos, and weapon paint themes. They do not describe an exclusive mission, Operator, class, or power upgrade.
What was the preorder bonus?
The Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack was offered as a preorder bonus for both editions. STAR WARS Zero Company launched on August 27, 2026, so the preorder period has ended.
Do not assume a historical bonus remains attached to a current storefront purchase. Check the exact package displayed by your regional retailer before paying, especially if a listing still uses older preorder artwork.
What Deluxe actually changes
Deluxe is an appearance bundle. It is for players who want the additional Grand Army of the Republic and Shadow Collective visual themes plus five painted weapon-theme items.
That distinction matters because the game already supports broader squad customization. Deluxe adds specific looks; it does not replace the normal progression, Specialization, Talent, weapon, or Bond systems.
Which edition should you buy?
Choose Standard when:
- you care about missions and tactics more than launch cosmetics;
- you are unsure which visual style you will use;
- you want the lowest-cost route to the complete base campaign.
Choose Deluxe when:
- you already like both named cosmetic themes;
- the weapon paints matter across the Operators you expect to use;
- the current regional price difference feels reasonable for cosmetics alone.
Collector listings and regional pricing
Regional prices, retailer stock, and any physical collector offering can change independently from EA's two digital editions. Those items are therefore not assigned fixed prices or guaranteed availability here. Use the source ledger's official EA links for package contents, then verify the final cart description with the retailer selling in your region.
The central buying rule remains straightforward: Standard and Deluxe share the base game; Deluxe is a cosmetic upgrade.
