Which Edition of Saros Should You Buy?

Truly speaking for the vast majority of players, the Standard Edition ($69.99) is the best choice. Remember, Saros is a single-player action game. There’s literally no competitive multiplayer advantage to playing it early. Hence, the Standard Edition is the most sensible and cost-effective option for anyone willing to wait until the official April 30 launch day.
However, if you are a die-hard PlayStation fan or a massive fan of Housemarque’s previous games (especially Returnal), that’s a different thing. In that case, the Digital Deluxe Edition ($79.99) offers excellent value. For only $10 extra, you receive three high-quality armors and the ability to jump into the game a full 48 hours early.
