Standard Edition at £34.99, Deluxe at £41.99 - below the £59.99-£69.99 AAA bracket
Day-one release across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2

01
AA pricing and Halloween window signal risk-managed launch
£34.99 standard places the title a full tier below current AAA horror releases
October 8 lands inside the highest-conversion retail window for horror content
Licensed Hellraiser IP carries no recent game pedigree - sub-AAA pricing lowers consumer trial risk
02
Switch 2 day-one inclusion breaks the licensed-horror pattern
Third-party licensed titles typically ship on Nintendo hardware months after other platforms
Hellraiser: Revival launches on Switch 2 simultaneously with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
Positions Saber as an early third-party content supplier for Switch 2's launch-year slate
What this means
For Publishers & Developers: Simultaneous Switch 2 SKUs are now feasible for AA horror - port-timing assumptions need updating
For UA & Marketing: £34.99 tier plus October release is the replicable playbook for licensed horror without franchise gameplay heritage
