What is Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville™?
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is the wackiest third-person shooter experience yet from the team at Popcap in Vancouver, who previously worked on the past two Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare shooter games. It’s our biggest PvZ shooter ever with 20 characters, three new free-roam PvE regions, and six PvP modes!

Will there be a Deluxe Edition of the game?
Yes, the Deluxe Edition will be available on October 18 along with the Deluxe Upgrade, which will include:
- Legendary Chickpea Costume for Peashooter
- Legendary Judge Z Costume for 80s Action Hero
- 5 Emojis
- Exclusive PvZ: Battle for Neighborville Digital Comic
If I already have either the Founder’s or Standard Edition, can I still get the Deluxe Edition content?
Yes! To purchase the Deluxe Edition content, just search for the Digital Deluxe Upgrade in your respective storefront, based on platform (Origin, Xbox Live, PSN Store).
Will there be rewards for players who have played or completed GW2?
While in the past we have given rewards to GW1 players who then played GW2, the mechanics of PvZ: Battle for Neighborville are quite different, so we will not be offering those types of rewards. Our Founder’s Edition, which allowed players to join the game early, was where we decided to focus our rewards and exclusives.

The entire game on PS4 and Xbox One can be played with a friend beside you in split-screen couch co-op or online with a friend. Note that split-screen is not available on PC.

There are no plans to release the game on Switch at this time.

How do I play Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville?
One of the best ways to start the game is to listen to Major Sweetie and play through the tutorial quests. You can do this by finding the sunflower stuffies, which should be easily identified by the giant beams of yellow light they shoot into the sky.
How do I enable couch co-op on Xbox One and PS4?
Once you start the game, just connect another PS4/Xbox One controller and hold the square (PS4) or X button (XB1) to join.
How do I customize my character?
You can enter the character selection screen by either going to the “Changing Booth” or selecting “Respawn” from the Main Menu. Highlight the character you want to customize and hit the square (PS4), X button (XB1), or (C) on PC to customize. You can change into whole costumes or swap individual pieces of your character’s look.
How do I add upgrades to my character?
Enter the character selection screen by either going to the “Changing Booth” or selecting “Respawn” from the Main Menu. Highlight the character you want to customize and hit the square (PS4), X button (XB1), or TAB (PC) to customize. Then scroll down to ”Upgrades” and hit X (PS4) or A (XB1) to adjust your upgrades for that character.
How does the Upgrade 7-Point pool work?
Each character has seven points to use for equipping upgrades. Each upgrade will have a point cost, depending on its power, that will contribute to that seven-point pool. For example you can equip one upgrade that costs four points, an upgrade that costs two points, and an upgrade that costs one point (for a total of seven points). As you rank up your characters, you’ll unlock new upgrades for them.
How do I unlock more upgrades?
As you play the game you will earn XP for the character you’re playing, and as you accumulate XP you will also gain levels. After earning 10 levels you can advance each character up a rank (up to five times). When you promote your characters to the next rank, you will unlock new upgrades for that character.
How do I promote a character?
Once you have earned enough XP to level a character to level 10, you will need to go to the “Promotions” station in Giddy Park. If you are lost, respawn in Giddy Park and stand on the big “?” on the ground to locate the Promotions station. Activate the Promotion station and follow the instructions to promote your eligible characters and unlock new upgrades.
How do I respawn in Giddy Park (social space)?
To respawn in Giddy Park, bring up the Main Menu and select “Warp Home” to get respawned at the starting area of Giddy Park.
I don’t know where to find a specific station. For example, where do I go to get to Mount Steep or Giddy Park?
When you spawn into Giddy Park, in Dave Manor or Zomboss HQ, there will be a big “?” on the ground. Stand on it to bring up the labels for each station in Giddy Park.
How do I switch teams from plants to zombies, or zombies to plants?
In Giddy Park, you can go to the Recruitment Station to switch teams from plants to zombies, or zombies to plants. Alternatively, you can open the Main Menu, select “Respawn,” and then select “Switch Team.”
How do I enter PvP (multiplayer)?
Engage the Multiplayer Portal device (in front of the portal), and select the mode you want to jump into. Then go through the Multiplayer Portal (giant archway with a blue portal) to join the queue.
How do I play with my friends?
Bring up the Main Menu and navigate to the “Friends” tab. Select the friend you would like to play with and choose “Invite to Group.” Once they accept, they will be brought to your server and in your group. You can have up to four people in one group.
