Effectively then, you will need to spend $62.99 and $71.99 on the Deluxe and Premium Editions, respectively. You can purchase the game on PC either from Steam or from the Xbox Games Studio.

Which Ara History Untold Edition Should You Buy?
The Ara History Untold Deluxe Edition seems to be the best option and provides the best value for money. It will give you the base game and a significant number of skins for a meager $3 surcharge over the base game. You will also get the pre-order bonus and won’t miss out on any in-game content.
If the additional cosmetic items do not matter to you, then the Standard Edition will work just fine. However, given the very low price difference between the two, not getting the Deluxe Edition could be a matter of regret down the line.
If the game’s official soundtrack and digital artbook appeal to you, then the Ara History Untold Premium Edition is definitely a worthy choice. This variant is also not too expensive, currently priced at only $12 over the base game.
