Planet Zoo 2 is out today, Tuesday 13 October, on PC through Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Frontier Developments, the studio behind Planet Coaster and the first Planet Zoo, develops and publishes it. If you want a boxed copy on console, you'll have to wait a week: the physical PS5 and Xbox editions reach shops on 20 October.
There are two digital editions. Standard has an official price of €49.99 and Deluxe €64.99. This morning a Steam Key for Standard costs €35.38 with fees at K4G, 29% less than on Steam.
What's new in the sequel
For the first time you can keep fully aquatic animals. Aquariums hold fish, blacktip reef sharks and hawksbill turtles. Flying animals get aviaries, and they are quick to put up: you place the walls and a few posts, and the game builds the canopy for you.
Animals now have moods, and what they need from their keepers changes with them. Conservation moves to the centre of the game, with conservation projects and Wildlife Reserves where you release animals from your zoo into their natural habitat. Franchise mode links your zoos and reserves into a worldwide network where animals can be traded. There is also a Sandbox mode for free building, plus four new decoration themes.
Standard edition: almost €15 cheaper than Steam
K4G has the cheapest Standard key, €32.24 with coupon GCDK14DEAL, which comes to €35.38 once fees are added (Steam Key, Global and Europe region). Kinguin is next at €33.66 with OCTGOC10 (€36.69 with fees). If you'd rather skip coupons and payment fees altogether, Instant Gaming sells the European key for €36.99 and Cdkeys Com for €38.49, both with no fees. Steam charges €49.99.
Steam Account and Steam Gift: read the format first
You will see Planet Zoo 2 from €16.79 with the Gocdkeys coupon at Difmark (€17.55 with fees). That is a Steam Account: a brand-new Steam account that already owns the game. It doesn't go into your library, so you would be playing on a second account.
A Steam Gift does land in your own account, although gifts usually come with a region restriction. Here it isn't worth it anyway, since the cheapest one costs more than the key: €36.58 with OCTGOC10 at Kinguin (€39.84 with fees).
Is the Deluxe edition worth the extra?
Deluxe adds the Deluxe Upgrade Pack, which contains six extra animal species and a set of exclusive animal signs. That's all it adds.
At official prices the pack costs you €15. In key stores the gap is closer to €10 or €11. Instant Gaming sells Deluxe for €46.99 with no fees, exactly €10 more than its Standard. Kinguin has it at €43.55 with OCTGOC10 (€47.37 with fees) and Gamivo at €45.89 with GCDKGamivo (€48.49 with fees), all as Steam Keys.
| Price this morning | Standard | Deluxe | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official price | €49.99 | €64.99 | €15.00 |
| Instant Gaming, Steam Key (no fees) | €36.99 | €46.99 | €10.00 |
| Kinguin, Steam Key with OCTGOC10 (fees included) | €36.69 | €47.37 | €10.68 |
If you like to cram every species you can into your zoo, ten euros for six more animals is a fair price. If it's the aquariums, aviaries, reserves and Franchise mode that caught your eye, Standard already has all of them.
What we don't know yet
The game only came out today, so it has no Steam reviews and there is no rating to quote. For reference, the first Planet Zoo is rated "Very Positive", with 90% of its 81,390 reviews positive.
Pre-orders came with a Bonus Content Pack: a toucan food stall and signs, three animal donation boxes and a tiger photo spot. We can't confirm whether it is still included now that the game is on sale, so don't buy expecting it.
If you'd rather wait for the first discount, set a price alert for Planet Zoo 2 and we'll email you when it drops to the price you pick. Every store and edition, fees included, is on the page to buy Planet Zoo 2 key.
