We’re finally getting our first look at Call of Duty: Vanguard thanks to the latest Warzone special event. And, naturally, the event coincides with the opening of the game’s preorders. If you’re interested in picking up Vanguard early, here’s a look at the differences between the Standard and Ultimate Editions of the game.
Call of Duty: Vanguard preorders, editions, and prices
Both the Standard and Ultimate Editions of Call of Duty: Vanguard include Operator Arthur Kingsley, the Frontline Weapon Pack, and immediate access to the Night Raid Mastercraft blueprint. The Ultimate Edition also includes the Task Force One Pack as well as the game’s Battle Pass Bundle.
The Standard Edition of Vanguard costs $59.99, and still includes plenty of bonuses. The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, but does at least include the first season’s Battle Pass in addition to the Frontline Weapon Pack.
Worth mentioning is that the cross-generation version of the Standard Edition costs $10 more, putting the PS5 and Series X|S version at $69.99.
