What is the SteelBook Edition?
The English official website uses SteelBook Edition for the higher-end physical package. This is the clearest name to use when shopping in North America or Europe.
Listings that casually call it a limited edition may be describing scarcity rather than the official Western product name. Follow the platform and package details, not an inconsistent marketplace title.

How to use the official retailer links

- Check seller, region, stock status, and return policy before paying.
- Save the listing details because marketplace titles and inventory can change.
SteelBook vs. Digital Deluxe
SteelBook answers a physical-collecting need. Digital Deluxe answers a digital-extras need with the visual book, soundtrack, and live-event footage. Do not assume either automatically contains the other's format-specific benefits.
