| PC | Digital via Steam |
| Our advice | Wishlist now, decide on pre-order near launch |
If you're trying to figure out which version of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu to buy, here's the honest state of play: Nacon hasn't locked in official editions or pricing yet. Rather than invent numbers, this guide lays out what's actually confirmed, what's reasonable to expect, and how to make a smart buying decision before the July 15, 2026 launch.
What's actually confirmed
Two things are solid:
- There's a physical release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — a boxed copy, not digital-only. PC is digital through Steam.
- The game launches across all platforms on July 15, 2026. For the full platform rundown, see our release date & platforms breakdown.
Beyond that, official edition tiers, their contents, and prices haven't been announced. Some retailers have posted placeholder listings, but those aren't reliable — we explain why in the pricing section of our release breakdown.
Standard vs Deluxe: what to expect not yet confirmed
Nacon often ships its published games in more than one tier, and there's promotional art hinting at a premium edition — but until the storefronts go live, the table below is an expectation based on how comparable releases are usually structured, not confirmed fact:
| Standard Edition (expected) | Deluxe Edition (expected) | |
|---|---|---|
| Base game | Yes | Yes |
| Pre-order bonus | Possible cosmetic / early access | Possible cosmetic / early access |
| Extras | — | Cosmetics, digital art/soundtrack, or a season pass-style add-on |
| Format | Digital (PC) / physical (console) | Likely digital |
How to pre-order on each platform
- PC (Steam): open the official Steam page. Until a pre-purchase goes live, use Add to Wishlist to get notified.
- PlayStation 5: search the PlayStation Store; pre-order or add to your wishlist there. A physical copy can also be reserved through retailers.
- Xbox Series X|S: find it on the Microsoft Store to pre-order digitally, or reserve the disc version from a retailer.
Should you pre-order now?
Our honest take is the same as in our launch guide: there's little reason to pre-order with real money today. With no confirmed price and no edition details, the low-risk move is to wishlist on Steam (or follow on console) and wait. You'll get alerted the moment editions, prices, or a launch discount appear, and you can buy in then with full information. Pre-ordering is worth it only if a specific bonus or a guaranteed launch discount makes it worthwhile — and we don't know those yet.
FAQ
How many editions does The Mound have?
Not officially announced yet. A standard edition is a given, and a deluxe/premium tier is plausible based on the publisher's track record, but nothing is confirmed.
Is there a collector's or physical edition?
A standard physical disc release is confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No collector's edition has been announced. We'll update if one appears.

We'll refresh this guide the moment official editions and pricing land. Until then, the most useful step is in our beta & wishlist guide, and you can get fully up to speed with the release date, platforms & price breakdown.
