The Collector's Edition combines the physical Deluxe package with a wearable Spartan helmet replica modeled on the equipment featured in the game. Its other contents include a game copy, an exclusive SteelBook, a hardback art book, story expansion downloadable content, a digital art book, and a digital soundtrack.

According to GamesPress, the Collector's Edition is available in physical form. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions include a game disc, while the PC package contains a code in a box. The official announcement describes the helmet as a replica of the Stranger's battle-worn Spartan headgear.

The Deluxe Edition includes the full game and a planned story expansion released after launch. Physical buyers also receive an exclusive SteelBook, a hardback art book, and special packaging, while digital Deluxe Edition owners receive a digital art book and the official soundtrack.

The Standard Edition is available in physical and digital formats. Its physical version provides either a game disc or a code, depending on the platform, according to the official announcement. The preorder bonus is designed to give players early access to three backpack upgrades.

The Munitions Specialist Pouch focuses on ammunition, helping players obtain and use rarer, more powerful ammunition types. The official announcement states that players can equip only one of the three upgrades at a time, making the choice part of the game's equipment system.
