, which offer early access and a season pass, among other things.

The $109.99 gold edition and even more expensive $129.99 are being criticized by some not just for costing much more, but for what they include. The Gold Edition includes the base game, as you’d expect, the Season Pass, and three days early access with a pre-order. The Ultimate Edition includes all that and two cosmetic bundles (the Sabacc Shark bundle and the Rogue Infiltrator bundle), and a digital art book. The Season Pass adds two post-launch story expansions, the exclusive Jabba’s Gambit mission at launch, and the Kessel Runner character cosmetic pack.

It’s worth noting that Star Wars Outlaws is a single-player only game, which has caused some to question the need for a season pass at all (by using the word "season" Ubisoft suggests there will be more than one). It’s also worth pointing out that the base game costs $70 on console, which means Ubisoft values the season pass and early access at $40, and the cosmetics and digital art book at $20. Ubisoft has yet to detail the two post-launch DLCs included in the season pass.

Some players are now expressing disappointment in how Star Wars Outlaws is being sold. “Star Wars Outlaws will cost up to $130 U.S. on release and has pre-order bonuses, a season pass, and three price levels,”

. “I'm trying to see the positive in this one.”

There are now people saying they plan to wait for a post-launch ***** before picking up Star Wars Outlaws. “It’s a single-player game,” added jbm1518. “Wait a year to buy it and you’ll save money, have DLC already available, and have a more polished experience.”

Anytime I see charts like these it just makes me think: “I can’t wait to buy the full game for $20 years later.”
