What is a season pass?
A season pass is a one-off purchase of a game's upcoming DLC, usually at a discount. It is not the same as a battle pass.

How it works
You pay once, often at launch, for a set of add-ons that come out over the following months. The pass doesn't ask you to play to unlock anything. A battle pass is different: its rewards unlock as you play during one season.
In the games we track
- LawBreakers: launched in August 2017 at $29.99 with no season pass.
- Most of the games we track sell a battle pass instead; cheapest battle passes in the UK ranks seven of them.
