What does ark season pass do?

[[Striker]~ŽĒÐ~]

Hey guys i was wondering what the season pass does if i buy do i get all the upcoming DLC's for free? For example Abberation

Yes and No. You pay for the Season Pass which is a reduced cost for the DLCs. So you'll get the DLC as and when they release, but you don't get them for "free".

No. It’s just a way for you to support the devs. They will give you skins in exchange for free martinis at twitchcon

It seems to piss a lot of people off, lol. Can't say I am not a little irked with it's current sale price, having bought it soon after it was put on the store and previously owning Scorched Earth.

On a more serious note. It includes 3 DLC: Scorched Earth, Aberration, and another TBA set to release next year. Note you get a 33% discount if you own Scorched Earth; so you're not "paying for it twice". If there are more DLC after those three, it probably will not include those; but it does not claim or hint that it will, nor would I expect it to for the price asked.

Yes, buying the season pass gets you all the DLC when they are released. Ignore the trolls

You get to ask yourself why they say "aberration will be released in october" (still says so in the video) and then they change it to november ...

Just remember that Buying season pass won't make DLC release faster, you might aswell not buy it, afterall it's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ same

If you already own SE, you'll notice a reduction in the price due to it being subtracted from your total cost(even before the halloween sale you could see this).

To clarify what GP is saying as that can be a bit confusing for some that may read this, the Seasons pass bundles 3 DLCs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, and a 3rd yet titled one coming in 2018) and at a bundled price(currently during the halloween sale its at around 58% off(as I suspected they'd do). Thus you're -only- buying those 3 dlcs in the pass and that's it.


Additionally Wildcard has dlc(usually from modded content they bought out) that is added for free as well. 3 of our 4 currently active DLC's are free ones(ie only Scorched Earth is a paid for).

In the future there may be more paid for DLC and a second season pass for those potentially but that is just speculation.

Small correction; it's actually 25%, the other 33% is for owning SE.
Yeah, they ADDED the %'s together!

Since I already owned SE(got for 9bucks give or take) the current sale price gave the remaining 2 dlc's in the pass to me for just under 10 bucks each so yeah Im fine with that. I knew they were going to drop the price on the next sale iteration so I didnt need to buy into the hype otherwise.

Also the "Explorer's Edition" which includes the pass is cheaper than the original Ark only price listing. EE is base before the sale of 45 and the standalone Ark is still based at 60 before the sale's reduction.

The ark season pass Lets you wait for the DLC to come " Just little further out" First we need to bring out patch's like 273.0

Very unhelpful message. They are free when he has bought the season pass. We all get that he has to buy the season pass first. Very clever.
