What do you get with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Deluxe Edition?

Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Deluxe Edition worth it?

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Deluxe Edition is a juicy package that features some alluring enhancements to the base title. But I think you should only upgrade to the Deluxe Edition if you want to play Suicide Squad as soon as possible.

I should preface that I’m not a big fan of super-duper editions because I don’t like paying extra for cosmetics that I usually don’t use anyway—this is all subjective, of course. They’re nice trinkets, and that’s fine if you want to get more out of a game. If you’re into the live-service formula, the Battle Pass Token will give you more longevity and gameplay.

But I think the enticing aspect of the Deluxe Edition is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League early access. Whether you’re a fan of Rocksteady’s work, you loved the Arkham series, you’re attached to the Suicide Squad, or if you simply think it looks cool, 72 hours of early access is a pretty nice benefit.

There are plenty of ways to preload Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as we speak, but be warned that the superhero title is off to a rocky start due to a bug that completes the main story immediately.
