In addition, while viewing the “What’s New” section on the PlayStation 3, it appears that both the PS3 and PS4 will be receiving a Gold Edition of the game. Not to be confused with the Digital Deluxe Edition, the Gold Edition will feature everything the Deluxe has plus the recently announced Season Pass, which is loaded with content:
- All-New Single-Player Story – Take on the role of T-Bone, a brilliant but eccentric hacker who lives by his own rules.
- Conspiracy! – A new Digital Trip game mode that lets players hunt down cyborgs in this mind-bending alternate game universe.
- Exclusive Untouchables Pack – Pay homage to the classic Chicago mobster film with a M1 SMG weapon and a 1920s mobster outfit. In North America, the Untouchables Pack will only be available through Season Pass.
- More single player missions, weapons, and outfits
- Save more than 25% over the individual downloadable pack prices.
- Season Pass holders get one-week early access to all included Watch Dogs add-on content.
The asking price for The Gold Edition is likely going to be $79.99, $10 more than the Deluxe Edition.
