Two action-adventure collector limited editions are sitting on the shelf of options, and they couldn't be aimed more differently. One is a like-new PlayStation 5 edition from the Assassin's Creed series; the other is a brand-new, still-sealed PlayStation 4 edition from Oddworld. Both carry the Collector's Edition label and both are priced to make you think twice.
Quick Verdict
If you're buying for a PlayStation 5 and want a like-new collector's package that includes the game, exclusive content, and a three-year manufacturer warranty, the Assassin's Creed Mirage Collector's Edition is the one to get. If you're on PlayStation 4 and prefer a factory-sealed, brand-new special edition at the lower end of the price range, the Oddworld Soulstorm Collector's Oddition is the better fit.

Where the Assassin's Creed Mirage Edition Wins
- It's built for the PlayStation 5, so it's the natural choice for PS5 owners who want a matching collector's set.
- The package includes the game itself plus the exclusive content that defines the Collector's Edition.
- A three-year manufacturer warranty adds peace of mind to the like-new condition.
Where the Oddworld Soulstorm Oddition Wins
- It's brand new in box, which is the condition many collectors want to see on a special edition.
- The $40 gap between the two editions lets you stay closer to the lower end of the price range.
- The T-Teen rating makes it a more accessible choice for a wider audience than the M-rated Mirage edition.
Product Notes
Assassin's Creed Mirage Collector's Edition
The strongest reason to choose this PS5 edition is that it gives you the full collector's package: the game, the extra content, and the like-new presentation, all with a three-year manufacturer warranty. Ubisoft's action-adventure is rated M, so it's aimed at adult players. The tradeoff is condition: this one is listed as Like New, not factory sealed, so if you insist on that fresh-from-the-package feel, this isn't it. There's also the price, which sits at the higher end of the range. It's the pick for someone who wants a complete action-adventure collector's set on the PlayStation 5.
Oddworld Soulstorm Collector's Oddition
The reason to pick this PS4 edition is simple: it's brand new in box. That sealed, untouched condition is exactly what many collectors look for in a special edition. Published by Microids, this Oddworld adventure is rated T, so it's a more approachable action-adventure for a wider group. The limitation is the platform: it's a PlayStation 4 title, so it won't serve as a PS5-native showpiece the way the Mirage edition can. The listing also carries a California Prop 65 warning, which is worth knowing before you buy. At the lower end of the price range, it gives you a full collector's package without stretching your budget.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Assassin's Creed Mirage Collector's Edition if you have a PlayStation 5 and want the complete, like-new collector's package with warranty coverage, and you're comfortable with an M rating. Choose the Oddworld Soulstorm Collector's Oddition if you're a PlayStation 4 collector who wants a sealed, brand-new special edition at the lower end of the price range. At $135, the Mirage edition is the more expensive investment; at $95, the Oddition is the easier buy for a tighter budget.
