- Planet Zoo 2 was released on 13 October 2026. It is the Frontier Developments sequel, rather than the original Planet Zoo or its Console Edition.
- The documented Deluxe Edition contains the base game plus the Deluxe Upgrade Pack: six additional animal species and exclusive animal signs. Standard is the base-game option.
- Use the official store or the website Buy route for your platform. Check your regional checkout price and exact edition contents; free offers, third-party keys and present-day preorder entitlements are not verified here.
The release date and game identity
The official Steam listing identifies Planet Zoo 2 as a Frontier Developments game released on 13 October 2026. If you arrived through an old launch-date, early-access or preorder search, use that dated listing to reset the context: the game is now released.
Evidence: Planet Zoo 2 on Steam
Make sure the product title actually says Planet Zoo 2. A listing for the original game, a Console Edition bundle or an expansion for a different product does not establish an entitlement to this sequel. This is a purchase check, rather than a claim that all similarly named offers are interchangeable.

Compare the documented editions
| Offer | What is documented | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | The Planet Zoo 2 base-game offer. | Confirm the correct platform and regional checkout. |
| Deluxe Edition | The base game bundled with the Deluxe Upgrade Pack: six additional animal species and exclusive animal signs. | Confirm that the product description includes the pack. |
| Deluxe Upgrade Pack | Listed separately as content for the game on Steam. | Distinguish an add-on listing from a bundle that includes the base game. |

Choose Deluxe for the additional documented animal and sign content, rather than assuming it changes the underlying platform or mode support. The retained official offers do not verify an Ultimate Edition. If a retailer uses that name, compare the actual product contents and platform entitlement with an official listing before purchasing.

Read prices as regional offers
| Edition | GBP SRP | USD SRP | EUR SRP |

These are the publisher FAQ’s suggested retail prices in the named currencies, not a conversion table or a promise about every country. The retained Steam page displayed $49.99 for the base game and $64.99 for Deluxe, but a currency symbol alone does not establish every viewer’s regional price or tax treatment. Use your platform’s current checkout for the amount you will actually pay.

This source record does not verify free-access promotions, the legitimacy of third-party keys, individual retailer stock or whether a historical preorder bonus is included in a purchase made today. Check the actual current offer terms. An old preorder phrase is not evidence that its bonus still applies.
