Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World Editions and Pre-order

Three editions. One early-purchase window. One digital meat pack. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World is easy to overbuy if you stack Deluxe on top of the DLC bundle. Read this page, then the DLC page, then stop.

Prices below are the USD figures Square Enix and storefront roundups have used. Regional Steam prices vary.

Standard Edition — $59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99 / ¥7,700

The game. Physical copies have been listed for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 (game-key in some listings), and PlayStation 5. Xbox and PC are digital-first in the materials we have.

Digital version purchase bonus — Hearty Meat Set (digital Standard or Deluxe):

• Monster Munchies x5
• Smoked Sirloins x5
• Meaty Treats x5

Claim from Check Additional Content in the in-game menu. The demo cannot claim this.

Early purchase bonus — Adventure Starter Set if you buy the main game or Deluxe by January 5, 2027, 8:59am PST:

• Monster Munchies x10
• Bonus Balls x3
• Seeds of Skill x5

That window is the only timed consumer offer that matters for most people. If you are waiting for a sale in February 2027, you are waiting past this set.

Digital Deluxe Edition — $94.99 / £79.99 / €94.99 / ¥12,540

Includes:

• The full game
• DLC 4-Item Set: Mega Mole Hole, Monster Marathons, Metallic Ring, Scout Run VIP Card
• Way of the Wrangler bonus: Necklace of Animation x1, Beastie Bites x10, Seeds of Skill x10
• 48 hours of early access, planned December 1, 2026, 9:00am PST
• The same Hearty Meat Set and Adventure Starter Set rules as digital Standard

Deluxe is the clean way to own all four launch packs. If you already pre-purchased Standard, buy the 4-Item Set separately instead of Deluxe. Square Enix warns about duplicate purchases for a reason.

Collector’s Edition — $219.99

Sold via Square Enix’s store for Switch, Switch 2, and PS5 in the listings we have. It piles Deluxe digital content on top of physical goods:

• Figurine set (Bianca, Nera, Deborah)
• Flocked figurine set (Fluffy, Scruffy, Fizzy)
• Round & squishy pouch (slime with meat)
• Monster-pattern cleaning cloth
• Way of the Wrangler items and Hearty Meat Set as listed on the official site

This is a shelf edition. It does not make scouting easier than Deluxe. If you want Bianca and Nera on a desk, this is the SKU. If you want metal slimes, that is the Metallic Ring inside Deluxe.

Demo versus paid bonuses

Demo play grants the Wrangler’s Bundle in the full game (Ring of Impulse, Bonus Ball, Smoked Sirloin x5) and up to eight transferred monsters at level 1. That is independent of which edition you buy. You still have to Start New Game on the same platform and account. Details sit on the demo guide.

Platform notes

Steam app 3681610 lists Denuvo Anti-tamper, Windows 11, and 40 GB. Read system requirements before you pre-purchase on PC. Online PvP, online co-op, and cross-platform multiplayer are Steam feature flags; they are not edition-locked in published text.

Pre-order storefronts: Steam, Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, Xbox, Nintendo eShop (timing varied by region), Square Enix store for Collector’s. Official URLs are on Links.

If you are still unsure, play the demo first, then buy Standard unless you already know you want Mole Hole and the Metallic Ring on day one. Deluxe is a convenience bundle, not a different campaign.
