Assassin's Creed Origins: Edition Differences

Assassin's Creed Origins is the first game in the franchise's RPG trilogy, and the game takes you on a grand adventure through ancient Egypt. If you're planning to buy the game, choosing the right edition for your play style can feel overwhelming, especially with the game offering multiple editions.

The game is available in three editions: standard, deluxe and goldeach offering progressively richer amounts of content reflected in their price. Here's everything you need to know about what each edition of the game offers, and which one might suit your preferences and time.

Assassin's Creed Origins – Standard Edition Content

The standard edition for Assassin's Creed Origins contains the core game, offers over 40 hours of main story campaign. Stepping into Bayek's shoes, you can explore a vast recreation of ancient Egypt, its many secrets, and experience Bayek's emotional journey as he overcomes his personal struggles to establish the Brotherhood.

If you're only interested in experiencing a rich main story and sinking another 30+ hours into open world exploration and side content, then the standard edition is all you need to have a great time.

Assassin's Creed Origins – Deluxe Edition content
