Hi there. I believe it would be a good idea to start keeping track of various Pre-Order and Launch Day / Week / Month bonuses. Some publishers sell these bonuses as DLCs at a later date, but that isn't always the case, so being aware of all current pre-order and launch bonuses is beneficial.

Only games with pre-order bonuses will be listed here. Games that are available for pre-order, but do not provide a bonus will not be listed. That being said, those games should still be purchased on launch day as a thank you for not engining in FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) tactics.

Games with expired bonus offers before the time of this thread's creation will not be listed. Games with expired bonuses after the creation of this thread will be kept, as long as any potential character limits allow it.

If a game comes in multiple editions, I will only link the highest one. If the bonus exists as a time-limited direct DLC, I will links that DLC instead.

If I have missed something, please feel free to contribute.
