The Silver Pines Deluxe Edition costs $31.99 / £27.99 / €31.99 and contains exactly three things: the base game, a digital artbook and the official soundtrack. The publisher's own announcement describes it as "a copy of the game, plus the artbook and official soundtrack" and nothing else.
That is worth stating plainly because the name invites assumptions. There are no bonus weapons, no extra outfits, no early unlocks and no season pass. If you want the game, the standard edition gives you the same game.
What is in the Deluxe Edition?
Three items, and only three.
- Silver Pines — the full game, identical to the standard edition.
- Digital artbook — character sketches, comments from the artists, and concept art for the town and environments.
- Official soundtrack — composed by Karl Flodin.
The contents are the same on Steam, Epic and the console stores. A third-party retailer listing breaks it down the same way, which is a good sign that there is no platform-specific variant to worry about.
How much does it cost?
| Region | Standard | Deluxe | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| US | $24.99 | $31.99 | $7.00 |
| UK | £21.99 | £27.99 | £6.00 |
| Eurozone | €24.99 | €31.99 | €7.00 |
| China (Steam) | ¥90.00 | ¥115.00 | ¥25.00 |
The Chinese store breaks the bundle down transparently: the soundtrack DLC is ¥22 and the artbook DLC is ¥18, so buying both separately would cost ¥130 against ¥115 for the bundle.
In dollar terms the premium is seven dollars. The Chinese store is the only one that itemises the extras separately, and there the bundle costs less than buying both DLCs on their own.
What is actually in the artbook?
The official description lists character sketches, comments from the artists, and concept art for the town, the environments "and much more". It is a digital artbook, not a physical book, and it is delivered as a separate file rather than unlocked inside the game.
For a hand-drawn, rotoscoped game, that is more interesting than it sounds. The art direction is the one thing every review praised, and the sketches show how the rotoscope layers were built.
It is also not a strategy guide. There are no maps, no code lists and no ending explanations in it.
Who is Karl Flodin?
Karl Flodin composed the soundtrack, and he is also one of Wych Elm's co-founders alongside Linus Larsson and Mattias Snyg. The studio is five people, so the composer is a partner in the company rather than a contractor brought in at the end.
That explains the soundtrack's integration with the game. Music in Silver Pines is diegetic — it comes from radios and jukeboxes inside the world — and the soundtrack release collects those tracks as a listenable album.
Is the Deluxe Edition worth it?
Buy it if you finish games and then go looking for the art book. Seven dollars for a soundtrack and an artbook from a game you already like is a normal price, and the bundle is cheaper than the two DLCs bought separately.
Skip it if you only want to play. The Deluxe Edition adds nothing you can use in the game, and the standard edition at $24.99 contains every lock, ending and memento.
Skip it too if you buy on console and do not use the console's storefront for media. The extras are files, not in-game unlocks, so how you access them depends on the platform.
Can you buy the extras separately?
Yes. The artbook and the soundtrack are also sold as individual DLC, which means you can buy the standard edition now and add either item later.
The Chinese store itemises them at ¥18 for the artbook and ¥22 for the soundtrack, against ¥90 for the base game. Bought separately the total is ¥130, so the ¥115 bundle saves ¥15.
If you only want the music, buying the soundtrack on its own is cheaper than the bundle. The bundle only wins when you want both extras.
Is there a physical version?
No physical edition has been announced for any platform. The Deluxe Edition is a digital bundle, and its contents arrive as downloads rather than as in-game unlocks.
Searches in Spanish for a physical copy ("fisico") resolve to the same digital listing. There is no disc release to buy as of October 25, 2026; limited-run publishers do sometimes announce one months after launch, so check Team17's channels before you give up on it.
What the soundtrack actually is
The soundtrack collects the diegetic music from the game — the tracks that play from radios and jukeboxes inside the world rather than a score laid over the top.
Reviewers described that music as drifting between grunge, dream pop and industrial, and treated it as world-building rather than background. Karl Flodin wrote it, and he is one of the studio's co-founders.
The artbook is the companion piece: character sketches, artist commentary and concept art for the town and environments, which is the material behind the rotoscoped look reviewers kept praising.
Who should skip the Deluxe Edition
If you play a game once and move on, the extras will sit unopened. The artbook is interesting because the art direction is the strongest part of the game, and that only matters if you finish it and want more.
If you buy on console and rarely use the console's storefront for media files, check how that platform delivers artbooks before you pay. On Steam they are simply files in the install directory.
Where can you buy it?
The Deluxe Edition is sold on Steam, the Epic Games Store and the console storefronts. On Steam the bundle has its own sub page, which is how the components are itemised.
Regional availability and pricing follow the base game. If the standard edition is unavailable in your region, the Deluxe usually is too, because they ship together.
For the base-game store details, see the Steam page. For whether the game itself is worth buying, the review page collects the critic scores and the recurring complaints.
