Minecraft Dungeons II came out on September 29, 2026 in two editions, Standard and Deluxe. Prices differ by store and region, so the table below lists what each storefront showed on launch day.
Still undecided? Our Standard vs Deluxe picker asks four quick questions and recommends one.
What does each edition cost?
Standard and Deluxe are about twenty units of currency apart everywhere we checked.
| Edition | Steam (EU store) | PlayStation (UK store) | US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | 29.99 EUR | 24.99 GBP | $29.99 |
| Deluxe Edition | 49.99 EUR | 44.99 GBP | $49.99 |
| Deluxe Upgrade | 19.99 EUR | 20.00 GBP | $19.99 (US Steam) |
The Steam and PlayStation figures come straight from those store pages, and the US Steam store lists the Standard Edition at $29.99 and the Deluxe Upgrade at $19.99. The live price box above refreshes those Steam numbers and the best PC deal every time the site rebuilds. The Xbox and Nintendo US price boxes did not load in our check, so confirm the console Deluxe price on your own store before you buy.
What does the Deluxe Edition add?
Four things beyond the base game: two downloadable content packs (DLC 1 and DLC 2, listed “as released”), the Soul Cape, four hero skins and the Blub pet. Neither DLC pack has a date or announced contents yet.
None of it affects progression, difficulty or starting gear. Standard is the complete base game.
What is the Deluxe Upgrade?
The Deluxe Upgrade is a separate add-on that brings a Standard Edition up to Deluxe content. Steam lists it at 19.99 EUR and PlayStation at 20.00 GBP. Standard plus the Upgrade adds up to almost exactly the Deluxe price, so starting with Standard costs you nothing extra.
Is the pre-order bonus still available?
No. Pre-orders closed before launch. Pre-ordering either edition had added two hero skins, the Twisted Cape and the Twisted Chicken pet, on the store pages. Buying now does not include them.
| Pre-order bonus item | Type |
|---|---|
| Two hero skins | Skins |
| Twisted Cape | Cosmetic cape |
| Twisted Chicken | Pet |
How do I get the Hero Cape?
The Hero Cape is free if you have played the original Minecraft Dungeons, including through Game Pass or Steam. Log into Dungeons II on the same Microsoft account before December 31, 2026 and it unlocks; it also works in Minecraft Java and Bedrock.
You do not need to own the sequel. Joining a friend’s co-op session counts as logging in.
Does the Twisted Cape carry over to regular Minecraft?
Yes. Minecraft.net’s capes article says that once you unlock the Twisted Cape in Dungeons II, logging into Minecraft Java or Bedrock unlocks it there too. The Soul Cape from Deluxe stays inside Dungeons II.
How big is the download?
Nintendo’s page shows 6.8 GB for the original Switch and 6 GB for Switch 2. No preload was offered for the launch.

Quick FAQ
Is Deluxe worth the extra money? Nothing in Deluxe changes how the game plays. It is content and cosmetics, so it comes down to whether you want the two DLC packs and the extras.
Can I upgrade from Standard to Deluxe later? Yes, through the Deluxe Upgrade add-on listed on Steam and PlayStation.
Are prices the same on every platform? No. Regional stores list different amounts, so compare your own store.
What if I did not pre-order? You have the full game and, on Deluxe, its included content. You do not have the pre-order skins, cape and pet.
Not confirmed yet
DLC 1 and DLC 2 have no dates or contents. The US Xbox and Nintendo prices were not machine-readable in our check, and how many DLC packs exist in total is unannounced. Treat any DLC total you see elsewhere as speculation.
