STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT Pre-order Bonuses

Pre-order language mixes three different ideas: temporary price discounts, Digital Deluxe media extras, and time-limited bonus entitlements such as STEINS;GATE Octet of Shifting Space. This page separates them.

Price promotions

Steam has promoted approximately 10% off for pre-purchase of Standard and Digital Deluxe within a defined window around launch. Console storefronts may run separate promotions. Always trust the live price module.

Digital Deluxe media

Deluxe bundles typically add a digital visual book, soundtrack, and 15th LIVE footage with English subtitles in Western materials. These are edition contents, not a vanishing pre-order-only mail code. Details live in Edition Comparison.

Octet of Shifting Space campaign

Buyers who purchase Standard or Deluxe during the early campaign window can receive Octet of Shifting Space as a bonus entitlement. Materials note the campaign stretches from the start of pre-orders through approximately November 30, 2026 (confirm timezone on Steam). The bonus game may unlock on a later playable date even if entitlement appears earlier.

Octet is described as an 8-bit-style STEINS;GATE adventure adaptation—charming side content, not a replacement for RE:BOOT itself.

Physical pre-order sweets

Retailers may add stickers, steelbooks, or exclusive lithographs. These change by shop. Use Official Resources to find publisher retailer lists, then read each product page.

Checklist workflow

Run Pre-order Checklist after you understand bonuses. Confirm dates on Release Schedule. PC buyers still need System Requirements.

Narrative prep while you wait

Bonuses will not teach Phone Trigger. Use waiting time for Getting Started, What’s New, and Characters Hub.

Related updates

Reboot News captures announcement history. Updates Hub indexes everything dated.

If a social post claims “pre-order exclusive true ending,” ignore it. Real bonuses are media and side-game entitlements—not secret worldline skips.

Bonus skepticism

If a listing promises exclusive in-game items without publisher confirmation, wait. Memorabilia and side-game entitlements are the documented extras.

Steam discount window

Pre-purchase promotions have advertised roughly 10% off Standard and Digital Deluxe near launch. Offer end strings change—read the live Steam module, not a screenshot from last week.

Octet deep link

Campaign buyers receive STEINS;GATE Octet of Shifting Space as a bonus entitlement with a playable date listed for October 29, 2026. Full separation of Deluxe media vs Octet rights lives on Octet of Shifting Space.

Physical Western extras

Spike Chunsoft’s Western physical story highlights Standard and SteelBook packages for Switch, Switch 2, and PS5 with new huke cover art and first-print stickers at participating retailers. These are not Steam Octet clones.

Xbox buyers

Because Western Xbox now lands in October, do not assume August Steam campaign logic auto-applies to your Xbox library. Confirm each storefront’s bonus bullet list. See Xbox Western Delay.

Decision hygiene

Write three lines before checkout: platform, edition tier, bonus goal (Octet / art book / steel). If a seller cannot map to those three, walk away.

Offer screenshot ritual

At checkout, capture the full bonus bullet list. Memories of “I thought Octet was included” lose to timestamped images when support chats begin.

Campaign versus edition

Repeat until memorized: Octet campaign ≠ Deluxe media. SteelBook stickers ≠ Steam entitlements. Cross-link Octet of Shifting Space.

Unique bonuses seal: if a reseller sells “secret true end codes,” close the tab—bonuses are media and side games.
