Which Tekken 8 Edition Should You Get?

There are a total of five different Tekken 8 Editions that players can opt to get as pre-orders before the release date on January 26. All these different Tekken 8 Editions offer a variety of freebies for people to enjoy by adding a little more from the base game's price point. We listed below what you get from the different available editions.

While the difference in price between the Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition is $40.00, the in-game items that you get are well worth it with the inclusion of the 5 different Avatar Skins that you can flaunt and flex toward your opponents. This doesn't really make you a better player, but it does show your support for the developer as well as the dedication that you put into making the game even better for the upcoming DLCs (if any) or game.

If you are just starting to immerse yourself in the Tekken franchise, the Tekken 8 Standard Edition may be the perfect edition for you to take. However, if you have the extra money to spend to really get into the thick of things, the Ultimate Edition would be the best option for you. The $10.00 difference between the Deluxe Edition and the Ultimate Edition is just so little for you to pass on.

If you are a true, blue Tekken franchise fan, there is no better way to do it than to get the Tekken 8 Ultimate Edition. These valuable exclusive avatar costumes would not come any other way unless Bandai Namco decides to have them available for trading. Imagine seeing your favorite characters wear exclusive in-game skins would definitely be enough to motivate any player, especially with the stunningly beautiful graphics that were worked very hard on.
