Looks like rumors about a kind of season pass for Titanfall are true as Respawn has officially announced a Season Pass for Titanfall. The confirmation comes from Titanfall’s Official Blog that confirms that Titanfall will have a season pass as well as a Digital Deluxe version on EA’s Origin platform which will cost 79.99 but will include the full game and the season pass for $10 savings rather than purchasing the game and the season pass separately.
The season pass for Xbox 360 and Xbox One users will cost $25 which will net you $5 savings if you got all 3 DLCs separately. Respawn has also noted that 360 users cannot purchase the season pass for 360 and expect it to be transferred to your Xbox One as this season pass will not transfer over.
The Digital Deluxe Edition does look like an interesting way to get people to buy the game through Origin but I have a feeling a lot of people would rather purchase it through Steam than Origin since Origin has so many problems already with installing and downloading games. I guess we will see if this move works to get more PC users to purchase it on Origin.
The Season Pass looks like it will be a great deal for those that purchase the game and want to make sure they get everything they can out of the upcoming DLC but there is also great news in the details of the Season Pass for those who don’t have to buy it. It looks like all the DLCs coming out for Titanfall will only be $10 which is less than the usual $15 or even $20 that most shooters try to put on their DLCs. So it looks like anyone that wants to get into the game can get potentially more out of the DLC while also spending less money which is a win in my book already.
