Can the mods switch these, or does this require a user edit?

Confirmed and changed images.
Ctrl+F5 when viewing those pages if they don't appear to be changed.
Anyone can do it, but obviously you could get a reject. Staff can do it easy because we can approve our own edits immediately.

But in future you can make a post like this here, and then submit the edit, if you think there is a chance at a reject. A reject still might happen tho so coinflip I guess.

Hey,
I did an edit to the God of War Ragnarök (https://vgcollect.com/item/283064) release date (Nov. 9 2022) which got rejected because it is not the launch edition.

Every source I found states that the standard edition is the default edition to buy after Nov. 9 2022 and the launch edition was only a preorder bonus. I could imagine that there were more launch editions than preorders but wouldn't that still qualify as released on the same date?

I think in a case like this, you should post the sources you found. Even if they are in another language it shouldn't be a problem for us to figure out what is what.

I only looked for German sources since it is the German release.

In the Launch Edition passage the first sentence states that it is only the preorder bonus, not a real version. The last sentence states that you get the version by ordering pre release.

Launch Edition
Die Überschrift ist ein wenig irreführend, denn genau genommen ist das keine Edition, sondern der Vorbestellerbonus.

Du bekommst den Bonus, indem du dir das Spiel vor dem Release am 09. November 2022 holst.

The Standard und Launch Edition passage states that the launch edition will be the standard edition after the release and will be only available by preordering the game.

Standard und Launch Edition
Vor Release von God of War Ragnarök könnt ihr die Launch Edition kaufen. Diese Edition wird nach Veröffentlichung des Spiels zur Standard Edition, bei der ihr dann keine Boni mehr erhaltet. Die Launch Edition könnt ihr also nur über Vorbestellung kaufen.

This site even states that the launch edition is exclusive to Mediamarkt/Saturn. Therefore all other shops should have selling the standard edition since release.

Das bekommt ihr in der Launch Edition
Die Launch Edition ist verfügbar für die PS4 oder die PS5 und nur bei MediaMarkt und Saturn erhältlich.

OK I updated the release date on the regular edition. If the Launch Edition is in the DB, you can put something like this into description:

pre-order exclusive from MediaMarkt, Saturn

Usually we do not get to know exactly when different editions get released. It is easier to know for current or relatively current releases, but in general most sites (even retailers and press release) tend to treat different editions as the same. At least in the US what tends to happen is that Launch Editions come out on the game's actual release date, and a regular edition just "appears" some time later without any fanfare. While it is possible that there was some press release somewhere that mentions the non-launch edition, no one seems that embedded in product news for us to have a reliable source. As a result, we are apt to reject a release date on a regular version where a launch edition exists and the date being submitted is the same.
