What Is The Light Bearer Mount?
This is the Diablo 4 mount you get access to in all editions. It is highlighted in the image above.
What Is The Wings Of The Creator Emote?
The Wings Of The Creator emote is an exclusive cosmetic available with the Ultimate Edition of the game.
What Is The Temptation Mount?
The Temptation Mount is another Diablo 4 mount available with the Deluxe and Ultimate editions of the game.
Which Edition Is Worth Your Money?
This is a bit of a tricky question because of the way the pricing is staggered. If you do want to pre-order the game, we suggest that you pick up the Deluxe Edition as this provides four days early access to the full release and the Battle Pass for $20 more. If you see yourself purchasing the Battle Pass for the first season anyway, it makes sense to pick up this version.
If you just want to play the betas, then it makes sense to go for the Standard Edition.
Overall, it doesn't seem like the Ultimate Edition really provides much more value, and you're essentially paying that extra $10 for a shiny exclusive Emote.
