Version differences

The Collector's and Deluxe editions include the base game, the Digital Deluxe Upgrade and different sets of physical extras, with the game content redeemed through Steam codes. While the latter has a DVD marked as a "Game Disc", it is used only for triggering the Steam installer, unlike the console versions which contain the game itself.
