Along with providing launch dates for the public beta test, Bungie has announced three special editions for Destiny that are now available for pre-order.

The Destiny Limited Edition ($100) comes protected in a SteelBook game case. The Guardian Folio of physical goodies includes an Arms & Armament Field Guide, Postcards from the Golden Age, and an Antique Star Chart. Digital content features a unique Ghost casing, an exclusive player emblem, and exclusive player ship variant. It also comes with the Destiny Expansion Pass for access to two post-launch expansions: The Dark Below and House of Wolves. PlayStation gamers also receive additional content in the two expansions that will remain platform-exclusive until fall 2015.

The Destiny Ghost Edition ($150) includes everything from the Limited Edition as well as a replica figurine of Ghost, the players’ AI companion. The replica will feature motion-activated lights and voice recordings from Ghost’s voice actor, Peter Dinklage. The Ghost Edition also includes a Letter of Introduction and a selection of Golden Age Relics, such as a photo, patch, sticker, and two chrome slides of the Traveler.

Fans fed up with baubles who just want to cut straight to the gaming goodness can order the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition ($90), which includes a download of the game along with the Expansion Pass and all of the aforementioned digital content.

The Expansion Pass is available separately for $35, or you will be able to buy each individual expansion for $20 when they launch. All pre-orders, special edition or not, include access to the Vanguard Armory for exclusive weapons and gear. Pre-orders are available now at participating retailers. Destiny launches on Xbox and PlayStation consoles September 9.

Why the Destiny 2 and Fortnite collab makes perfect sense for Bungie

Destiny 2 skins in Fortnite.

Destiny 2 is collaborating with the Epic Games Store, including swapping some cosmetics with Fortnite and Fall Guys. This announcement leaked ahead of Bungie's Destiny 2 showcase on Tuesday, and the community reaction was mixed. After all, Destiny 2, Fortnite, and Fall Guys aren't similar games at all. But after seeing the collaborations in action, they make perfect sense. Destiny 2has seen a lot of changes over the past year, and although it's still a far cry from Fortnite or Fall Guys, trading cosmetics fits right into where Bungie, Epic Games, and Sony are heading.

A tale of two games
The new skins come on the heels of Destiny 2 launching on the Epic Games Store, where Bungie is offering its 30th Anniversary content pack for free for the first week. Bungie says the collaboration is a celebration of the new launch, with three new skins each in Fortnite, Destiny 2, and on September 13, Fall Guys. Nothing is changing with any of these games; they're just adding new cosmetics. Still, the community isn't taking it that way. The friction with the Fortnite and Destiny 2 collaboration centers around how different the games are. The only common thread they share is that they're both multiplayer shooters, but even then, the games are so different in style and structure that they can't be compared.

How to pre-order FIFA 23: retailers, editions, and bonuses

A soccer player running.

This might be the last FIFA game we get made by the talented team at EA, which has proven themselves to make one of the best soccer simulation games on the market. FIFA 23 will still be coming out this year after being officially revealed on July 20 with a first look at this impressive-looking title. Fans of the series won't need to see this trailer to know they will be picking up this game, though. If you already know you like the type of game FIFA has been, then FIFA 23 is a safe bet to invest in.

FIFA 23 will be a historic game, especially if it is the last one before a new development team takes the series going forward, but more importantly because of the cover athletes. Of course, EA will continue making soccer games under the name EA Sports FC, but fans of the league may not make the jump to that new entry that doesn't bear the FIFA name. To make the most out of your time with FIFA 23 when it comes out, and to celebrate some great athletes, here is how you can pre-order FIFA 23, every edition there is, plus which bonuses they come with.

How to pre-order God of War Ragnarok: retailers, editions, and bonuses

Kratos and his son stare down a wolf in God of War Ragnarok.

Are you ready for Ragnarok? After five years, many delays, and tons of speculation as to whether or not we would even get the game in 2022, God of War Ragnarok has finally gotten a firm release date of November 9, 2022. We're all itching to rejoin Kratos and Atreus for their next adventure that will dive even deeper into the realm of Norse gods, monsters, and myth. Based on how well-received the initial reboot was in 2018, there are plenty of people out there who are ready to jump in on this game on day one with no hesitation.

While it isn't likely God of War Ragnarok will be unavailable to anyone who wants it, fans who want to really show their love for the series and show off some exclusive items will want to make sure to pre-order one of the numerous editions of the game. This is perhaps the biggest title launch of 2022, and as such, there are a number of editions ranging in price and content, physical and digital, that the most dedicated fans will be scooping up as soon as they're available. Here are all the editions of God of War Ragnarok and how you can pre-order them.
