Overview

  • Pre-orders for the Life Is Strange Collection are live now on the Square Enix Store ahead of its October 2, 2025 PS5 launch.
  • The $60 bundle includes all five main Life Is Strange games—Remastered, Before the Storm Remastered, Life Is Strange 2, True Colors Deluxe, and Double Exposure Ultimate—alongside every released DLC and pre-order bonus.
  • True Colors and Double Exposure are the only titles on the physical disc while the remaining three games must be redeemed via PS Store download codes.
  • This disc-plus-code format reflects a growing industry trend by publishers toward hybrid physical releases that has frustrated collectors seeking fully self-contained discs.
  • Some fans remain wary of the collection’s remastered versions due to earlier criticism over pacing changes and reported bugs in the original remasters.
