11Graveyard Keeper 2 shipped as a single edition on 22 September 2026. There is no deluxe tier, no season pass and no content split between versions. Before launch the price differed by storefront; the day after launch every storefront read listed it at 24.99 US dollars. The pre-order bonus, which the studio said differs by platform, is covered below along with how to claim it.2233One Edition4455There is no edition split anywhere in the published storefront data. The PC listing carries one package group containing one package. The console side has one base product, one pre-order bundle that pairs that base product with a free bonus add-on, and nothing else. The bonus add-on is priced at zero and is not a paid expansion.6677ProductWhat it isBase gameThe standard single edition, sold on its ownPre-order bundleA console listing pairing the base game with the pre-order bonus packPre-order bonus packA free add-on containing the two bonus items below88The console product group is filed internally under the name Graveyard Keeper 2: Zombie Capitalism, which matches the phrase the developers use for the settlement's new era. It is a catalogue identifier rather than a subtitle on the box.991010Pricing by Storefront11111212Pre-order prices did not match across stores, so they are listed separately rather than merged. Pre-order figures were read on 21 September 2026 and launch figures on 23 September 2026, all in United States dollars.13131414StorefrontPre-order pricePrice after launchNotesPC (Steam)19.99, a 20 percent pre-purchase promotion on 24.9924.99The promotion ended on release dayPC (GOG)Not listed before launch24.99Windows onlyXbox19.99 on the pre-order bundle, 24.99 list24.99The pre-order bundle is no longer soldPlayStation19.99, with a separate 20 percent PlayStation Plus reduction to 15.9924.99Both the 19.99 price and the subscriber reduction are goneEpic Games StoreNot readNot readNamed by the developer and linked from the official siteNintendo eShopNot readNot readThe publisher's 26 August release-date announcement listed a 24.99 pre-order on Nintendo Switch1515The game is not included in any subscription catalogue. The Xbox product entry lists no pass that includes it; a qualifying membership only allows cloud play of a purchased copy. The PC storefront also sells a bundle that pairs the sequel with the original Graveyard Keeper, which is a storefront bundle rather than a separate edition.16161717Pre-Order Bonuses18181919Two items were attached to a pre-order. Both console storefronts described them in near identical wording.20202121BonusDescriptionSaunaA personal sauna building sited outside the player's house, framed as somewhere to lift the spirits after a long and productive dayInquisitor outfitAn exclusive outfit for the player character, described as worthy of the new Grand Inquisitor2222The PlayStation listing added the most colourful phrasing of the two: take a break from fighting hordes of zombies with a session in your very own sauna, then slip into an exclusive outfit and show the locals who the true village dandy is.23232424The studio said the outfit a player receives depends on the platform they pre-ordered on. No storefront text names the variants, but the pre-order artwork the studio posted on 26 August shows four versions of the tunic above four platform icons: a lighter blue over PlayStation, green over Xbox, a darker blue over Steam and red over Nintendo Switch. The same artwork shows the sauna as a thatched wooden building with a stone stove and a wooden bathtub inside.252526262727Claiming the Bonuses28282929After launch the developer explained where each bonus appears in the game. Neither is available from the very start.30303131BonusHow to Get ItSaunaIt stands to the left of the base, over a bridge. The bridge has to be repaired first, which happens as the player progresses through the gameInquisitor outfitUnlock the Suit Up! technology on the Technology Tree, build a Dresser in the player's home, then pick the bonus outfit from the clothing options3232A hotfix released on the evening of launch day fixed an issue that, in some cases, prevented the pre-order content from appearing in existing save files. Current problems are listed on Known Issues and Patch Notes.33333434On consoles the pre-order add-on may not install automatically, which the publisher's support centre says is common on PlayStation; its advice is to make sure the add-on is downloaded and installed, then re-import the demo save and launch it again. The publisher also says it cannot grant pre-order bonuses on request, because they were only available to players who pre-ordered through official storefronts before launch. Update 1.009 on PC and 1.009.1 on PlayStation and Xbox fixed the sauna's buff permanently reducing the energy that food restores after it ended, and corrected existing saves, and update 1.010 on PC made items carried overhead hide while the sauna is in use.35353636Pre-Order Terms37373838Pre-orders opened on 26 August 2026, the same day the release date was announced, and closed at launch on 22 September 2026.The PlayStation listing stated that pre-ordering took immediate payment.The PC listing ran its discount as a pre-purchase promotion that ended on release day.The bonus pack on the console side is a separate free add-on entry rather than an unlock baked into the base product.
