The Adventures of Elliot: Editions and Release Date Buying Guide

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales launches on June 18, 2026, and it does so simultaneously on every supported platform — there is no staggered or platform-exclusive window to worry about. Square Enix is shipping it on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, so the only real decision is which storefront and which edition suit you best.

On PC the game is sold two ways: through Steam (app ID 3483510) and through the Microsoft Store as the "Xbox on PC" version. The Xbox ecosystem lists separate product IDs for each tier — 9PP9456CW5W3 for Standard and 9NKV2MMP7DHQ for Digital Deluxe — which is worth knowing if you are hunting for the exact listing. The game carries an ESRB rating of T (Teen), and the digital download weighs in at roughly 16.6 GB, so it is a comfortably small install by modern standards.

There are four editions in total. Two of them — Standard and Digital Deluxe — are available everywhere, digitally and (for Standard) physically. The other two are store-specific: the lavish Collector's Edition is sold only through the Square Enix Store, while the Amazon Exclusive is a physical Standard copy with a bonus poster tucked in the box.

The Digital Deluxe Edition costs $69.99 (listed as $70 on PlayStation and Xbox) and bundles the full game with three in-game accessories: the Fairy Bangle, the Cherry Blossom Anklet and the Roselle Ring. These are convenience and flavour items rather than story content — accessories that slot into Elliot's loadout — so think of this tier as a quality-of-life head start, not a different game.

The smart part is the flexibility. If you buy Standard and later decide you want the extras, you do not have to repurchase anything — the same content is sold as a standalone Digital Deluxe Upgrade for $10.00. That is exactly the $59.99 + $10.00 math you would expect, so there is no penalty for starting cheap and upgrading once you know you are in for the long haul. The Upgrade is also the mechanism by which the Collector's Edition delivers its Deluxe content, via an included code.

The $229.99 Collector's Edition is sold only through the Square Enix Store, "while supplies last." It is the full-fat package for fans who want a shelf piece. Inside you get a physical copy of the game on the platform of your choice, a code for the Digital Deluxe Upgrade, the newly mastered Original Soundtrack as a 4-disc CD set (composed by Tomohiro Nakamachi and Yuto Moritani), and the centrepiece collectible.

That centrepiece is the "Faie and the Door of Time" diorama desktop clock — a tabletop piece modelled after the in-game Doorway of Time, with a Faie figure perched on Elliot's hat. It measures roughly W180 x D180 x H220 mm, so it is a genuine desk ornament rather than a token trinket.

Pre-ordering any edition, digital or physical, grants the Elliot's Departure Pack. It contains two items that make the early hours smoother: the Departure Brooch, an accessory that increases the amount of currency and magicite fragments enemies drop, and an Attack Up sword magicite that raises your sword attack. Neither is essential, but both ease you into the game's gear-and-magicite economy without grinding.

Square Enix has noted that the Departure Pack's contents may be sold separately at a later date, so this is a perk for committing early rather than a permanent exclusive — but if you intend to buy the game anyway, there is no reason to leave it on the table.

Separately from the pre-order bonus, The Adventures of Elliot rewards loyalty to Team Asano's back catalogue. If you have save data from a qualifying past Square Enix title on your platform, linking it grants additional in-game bonuses — a nice extra for anyone who has been following these HD-2D and revivalist RPGs over the years.

Digital editions are sold directly on each platform's own store, while physical copies are stocked across the usual major retailers. Two listings are store-specific and worth calling out: the Collector's Edition lives only on the Square Enix Store, and the bonus-poster Amazon Exclusive is, naturally, an Amazon listing (ASIN B0GLRNT3NK for the Switch 2 SKU).

For physical copies, expect Standard editions at GameStop, Best Buy and Walmart (without the poster), with Amazon carrying both the regular physical Standard and its exclusive fold-out-poster version across PS5, Xbox Series X and Switch 2. Whichever retailer you choose, the same June 18, 2026 release date and June 17 pre-order deadline apply.
