Dawn of War 4 costs $59.99 for the Standard Edition and $89.99 for the Commander Edition, per PLAION, and pre-orders on Steam were 10% off on Oct 31, 2026, at $53.99 and $80.99. The $30 list difference buys a 3-Day Early Unlock, Blood Ravens Story Prologue, Aftermath and the digital soundtrack. The free post-launch updates reach both editions. The solo prices of the two expansions are not published, so whether the Commander Edition saves money on them cannot be worked out yet. The clip ends on the Commander Edition's art from May 2026, with its contents, its 10% offer and the old Sep 17 date.

Pre-order prices
The discount is the same 10% on both editions, but the sources for each currency differ. US prices are Steam's own on Oct 31, 2026. For the UK, PCGamesN gave GBP 44.99 for the Standard Edition in Aug 2026. For Germany, MeinMMO gave EUR 53.99 and just under EUR 81. Steam's Year 1 Expansion page, seen from the UAE store, says the discount ends on Dec 3; Steam shows prices by region, so check your own store page.
Bought from a reseller, the price can be lower. Gamesplanet listed Steam keys at $49.99 and $74.99 (17% off) on Oct 31, 2026. That is one store's offer, not an official price.
What everyone gets for free
KING Art says Crusade Mode, the map packs, the Mission Editor and new Commander scenarios for Last Stand and Crusade come free of charge. You do not need the Commander Edition for any of them. The order is on Year One Roadmap.
Buying the expansions later
Both paid expansions will be sold separately. Steam lists a Year 1 Expansion as a "Coming soon" entry, but as of Oct 31, 2026 no source gives its price or the price of either expansion alone.
What is not known
As of Oct 31, 2026, the makers have not published solo prices for the two expansions, an upgrade price from Standard to Commander, or any physical edition. Neither Deep Silver's page nor KING Art's posts give refund terms special to the pre-order or the early unlock.
