If I revoke my standard license and rebuy the Game of the Yorha Edition ....
will I still get the GOTY edition or will it be the standard edition + DLC but without the pre-order bonus.

because the support page states that :
"In addition, should you repurchase this game in the future, you will not receive a different CD key."

  • don't mind my playtime I only started replaying the game recently. I actually pirated the game back in 2018 and immediately bought it of GMG after I finished the game lol.

am I happy with my purchase ?
hell yeah ! I enjoyed this game a lot ( played it a tonne too ) and it's easily my favourite game ever.

I would like to know too. I mean, I don't care if I replay it all again but it would be nice to keep the achievements.

Yorha edition is just the main game + DLC.
Just get the DLC.

You will retain the achievements and stats and they will carry over to the yorha edition.


Permanently removing a game from your library is just an more advanced way of hiding the game - you can actually reinstate it at any time through steam support providing you can remember what games you have removed from your library.

thanks for the clarification. Have a nice day :heartp:

I've also check the support page.

it says the following
"Note: Removed products will not be automatically uninstalled nor will achievements and playtime be removed from your profile. You should uninstall before removing, or you will need to manually remove local content later. In addition, should you repurchase this game in the future, you will not receive a different CD key."

I'd take this to mean that if you buy the YoRHa edition, you will get the base game alone and not the YoRHa edition.

well this is also a concern

I'd take it more as a 99% certainty than a concern:
the key you currently have(independently of if you got this game via a key, each copy is tied to one) is for the standard edition, and "should you repurchase this game in the future, you will not receive a different CD key" means that if you remove it from your library and rebuy it, the exact same key is what your product will be, regardless of the dition you bought.

In terms of the game itself, the YoRHa edition is indeed just the base game + DLC, the content that is exclusive to the YoRHa edition is just wallpapers(which can be obtained anyway with a google search) and some specific cosmetic skins for the pods.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I wish buying the DLC would just update my version to the Yorha version. I know there's only a few pod skins and masks but still, sucks to be missing out on even pointless cosmetic stuff.

seeing how SE has been for the past 3 years since the game has been released. I don't think that's going to happen.
We can only hope for a miracle.

Silly question, but if I bought this game before the release of the Game of the YoRHa edition, do I get the upgrade for free or do I need to rebuy?
You don't get the yorha edition
Firehawk Feb 29, 2020 @ 10:09am 
Nice customer treatment from SE then if we can't even buy an upgrade without removing the base edition from our library first.
TheSeek Feb 29, 2020 @ 10:50am 
It's pretty standard, considering it's not an upgrade.
As a matter of fact, the YoRHa edition is just the base game + DLC, any extra the YoRHa edition includes is a couple skins for your pods and wallpapers that can be obtained with a simple google search anyway.
