WWE 2K fans on the PC are pretty much used to getting a delayed launch compared to the console versions, with the annoying tradition stretching back to WWE 2K15. However, for the first time in the series, this year"s professional wrestling title, WWE 2K18, will launch on the PC on the same day as Xbox One and PlayStation 4, on October 17.
Be that as it may, console players will still be able to play the game earlier than their PC brethren if they purchase the game"s $90 Deluxe Edition, as it provides a four-day early access pass. This early access "perk" is not available on the PC version"s deluxe edition.
The full contents and differences between the Standard and Deluxe editions on the PC can be seen below:
