Dead Island 2 finally showed up after years of development limbo, and the wait paid off with a first-person zombie brawler that leans hard into gore, sunshine, and dark comedy instead of grim survival dread. This Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with its story expansions and a pile of cosmetic and weapon extras, making it the fullest version of the game available on Xbox for PC players who want everything in one purchase.

How it plays

You’re a Zombie Slayer carving a path through a zombie-ravaged Los Angeles, and the whole point is the visceral, up-close combat: melee weapons, improvised gear, and gruesome dismemberment rendered in detail the game clearly wants you to notice. As a first-person action RPG, there’s a progression thread running underneath the carnage, giving you reasons to keep fighting beyond just clearing rooms of the infected. The Ultimate Edition stacks the Haus and SoLA story expansions on top of the main campaign, plus the Memories of Banoi, Golden Weapons, and Pulp Weapons packs, a named katana, several character packs, and a crossover weapons pack tied to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. On console it supports co-op, with some session-hosting limits depending on which Xbox hardware you’re using, so playing with friends is part of the intended experience even if the exact multiplayer structure isn’t detailed here.

Who it’s for

This one’s for players who want their zombie games loud, bloody, and a little goofy rather than somber and tense. If you like the tactile satisfaction of RPG-lite loot and melee combat systems, and you don’t mind a game that’s more interested in spectacle than subtlety, this fits. It’s also a solid pick if you want a bundle you don’t have to think about again, since the expansions and extra gear are already folded in. If you’re after a slow-burn horror experience with scarce resources and constant dread, or you have no interest in co-op zombie slashers, this isn’t going to convert you.

Is it worth it?

For the audience that enjoys this style of game, the Ultimate Edition removes the guesswork: you’re not stuck later wondering if you should have grabbed the expansions or cosmetic packs separately, because they’re already part of the package. That kind of all-in-one bundle is exactly the sort of thing worth watching for on sale, since it saves you from piecing together add-ons over time. If you already know you like gory, over-the-top zombie action and want the full picture without gaps, this is a reasonable one to add to your library when the price dips rather than paying full freight for each piece individually.
