Last week, there was news about the game Star Wars Outlaws that left many fans disappointed. The game, which is a single-player adventure set in an open world, will have what’s called a season pass.
This season pass costs an extra $40 on top of the game’s price. If you buy the Gold Edition of the game, which costs $110 in total, you’ll get this season pass.
What does the season pass include? It gives you access to two expansions that will come out after the game’s launch, some cosmetic items to customize your characters, and a special mission called “Jabba’s Gambit” that’s only available on the first day.
Some people were upset about this special mission, thinking it might be the only mission involving Jabba the Hutt in the game. But a representative from Ubisoft clarified that Jabba and his gang, called the Hutt Cartel, are important parts of the game for everyone who buys it, no matter which version. The “Jabba’s Gambit” mission is just an extra mission you can play if you have the season pass.
It’s frustrating that some parts of the game are only available if you buy the season pass or a more expensive edition. But rest assured, if you’re excited about Jabba the Hutt, you’ll still get to experience that storyline whether you buy the extra content or not.
In addition to the Gold Edition, there’s an even pricier Ultimate Edition for $130. This edition includes more cosmetic items and a digital art book. The writer notes that this setup, with different editions offering various extras, is simpler than what they’ve seen with some other games from Ubisoft in the past.
Overall, while it’s disappointing that some content is locked behind extra purchases, the core Star Wars Outlaws experience will include Jabba the Hutt and his crew for everyone.
