[h3]Changes to Game Purchase – Coming 3/26 18:00(PDT) [/h3]
To welcome the new players coming over from the demo, we will be separating the season pass from the base game. The base game will feature a lower price and the season pass will become an optional purchase.

As a big thank-you to our original player base, the Early Access season pass that was included with the initial purchase will be converted to the new season pass where seasonal content will continue to be updated. If you bought the game initially before this change, nothing changes. You already have the game and the new season pass.

And moreover, we’ve also prepared more gifts to our original player base. If you’ve purchased the game before we separated the game and the season pass, you will be receiving special in-game gifts.

• Before:

Project RTD w/Premium Season Pass: $19.99
ㄴ Season pass was only valid during the Early Access period.

• After:

Project RTD(base game, All game modes available):$8.99

Premium Season Pass(Upgraded, a new separate DLC): $11.99
ㄴNew season pass will offer seasonal contents going forward.

Premium Edition Bundle = Project RTD + Premium Season Pass




[Special Note]
1. The old Premium Season Pass which was automatically included will be converted to the new separate season pass.

2. Players who have purchased the game before the base game + season pass separation will automatically receive all the new seasonal content offered in the upgraded season pass DLC.

3. The newly upgraded season pass will offer a variety of content which can be unlocked by completing seasonal missions.

4. Premium Season Pass will be renewed on a regular cycle.

5. Exact dates may change depending on Steam's update interval.

[h3]Special Gift[/h3]
Due to the new change, we plan on offering special in-game gifts to those who have purchased the game before the separation and log in the game before 2020 March 26 17:59 PDT.
