Tekken 8 pre-order guide

Tekken 8 arrives on PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox on Jan. 26. The long-awaited sequel in the Bandai Namco fighting game franchise has gone 8 years without a sequel, but it’s returning in style with 32 characters, additional mechanics, gorgeous graphics, and many quality of life improvements.

If you want to pre-order the game, doing so gets you the Paul Phoenix Arcade Quest costume once it launches. This include five cosmetic items. Pre-ordering the PlayStation version will get you two additional Tetsujin and Mokujin avatar skins for Arcade Quest, the game’s single player mode.

If you’re planning to pick up a physical copy, both Best Buy and GameStop are offering exclusive pre-order bonuses. Reserving a copy at GameStop gets you a keychain sporting a pair of magnetic fighting gloves. Pre-ordering through Best Buy will get you a metal poster featuring the Tekken 8 logo. Take your pick! GameStop is also advertising an $84.99 bundle that packages a copy of the game with an exclusive action figure of everyone’s favorite muscle-bound, wrestling tiger, King.

Below, we’ve outlined every edition of Tekken 8 that’s currently available to pre-order to our North American audience, where you can buy them, and what specific bonuses you can expect.
