Respawn Details Titanfall Season Pass, PC Digital Deluxe
This morning, we shared the news of Titanfall’s season pass. Now we know how many content drops and the price you’ll be paying a la carte and as a bundle.
The Titanfall season pass will cost you $24.99 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. This is a $5 savings over purchasing the three content drops separately.
The PC version will also be getting a digital deluxe edition that bundles the game and the season pass for $79.99. Both the season pass and the deluxe edition can be purchased now from the Origin storefront.
Respawn has made clear that a season pass on one platform will not entitle users to content on another. If you haven’t yet upgraded from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, you won’t get to bring your season pass with you. Titanfall is out on March 11 for Xbox One and PC. The Xbox 360 version arrives on March 25.

Our Take
I think EA is leaving money on the table with the season pass decision. This is a disincentive to upgrading. EA would more easily sell two copies of Titanfall within the Xbox family if it gave users comfort in upgrading (or playing with their friends who haven’t yet upgraded). I’m just thankful it’s not going to strain the wallet like games with $50 passes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
