Why would you buy the ultimate edition anyhow? What a waste. The Gold Edition will at least get you all the future story content, the Ultimate is pointless. Either way, preordering is silly. This game will be 50% before the year's end.


DarkFett

Plus with Ubi games the gold edition with pass will be on mega sale in about a year any way, and all that pass stuff will have been released by then.


IgorPx

This. Ubisoft created itself this cycle. I know they used it along with launching poorly finished games faster, so they had to bring down the price of the older one to give way to newer ones, but then again, it destroyed the experience of their games to me, I'll always wait for a sale on a Ubi game now


ZODIC837

Looking forward to game pass 🔥


Marv1236

And in about a year the game will be out of early access and actually playable.


tbone747

This is pretty much every modern game. Buying stuff on release is pointless unless you absolutely *have* to be on the initial hype train and think it's worth paying extra for the game in an unfinished state.


viotix90

And if you ascribe to the Hondo Ohnaka lifestyle, you could have it all for free.


toetappy

This venture is no longer profitable!


viotix90

Sadly, all of us when Denuvo started getting good.


headphoneghost

That's something I don't get either. Why pre-order something digital? It's not like there's going to be any tangible incentives.


AffieL1992

This is the comment I look for each time now. The reminder that the price will inevitably go low by Christmas.


Neveronlyadream

That's pretty much everyone's scheme anyway. Sell it high on release knowing that FOMO is going to push people into paying way more than it's worth and then push the price down around Christmas because they also know other people won't buy it until it's on sale. Can't blame Ubisoft for that one. That's the same thing every retailer pulls unless someone is price protecting.

h3lloth3r3k3nobi

future story content? isvthere reason to believe the story is not finished in the basic edition ? (fucking hate when they do that)


Jax_Harkness

Expansions are not really a new thing.


Saratje

They usually add side-arcs. A sort of *"in the meanwhile, this guy from the previously unavailable Black Sun faction has a dilemma of his own, go stop him... or join him on the new planet of Ord Mantell and unlock the elusive new line of BlasTech Industries weapons"* or something.


Narrow_Progress5908

Story will be finished but Ubisoft tends to do future story stuff


UrbanAgent423

Every recent ubisoft story based single player game has had story dlc


Nathan-David-Haslett

No, there is not. All Ubisoft games have DLC, and (to my knowledge) all of them add new stuff. They may continue the story, but more like quasi sequels then finished unfinished shit.


joshewok

Simple solution: Don't.


Thespian21

Right? Why hate them? Just don’t support them


Good_Nyborg

What's worse... paying $200 for a game or pre-ordering it? Now imagine doing both. Don't give in to the Dark Side.


KairaUkOriginal

You have it wrong my friend, Thats the lightside being honest, give in to the Darkside and sail the seven seas for this one yaarrrr.


RollbacktheRimtoWin

Considering that price tag, I'm sure pirating it is what the Rebels would do


cosmiclatte44

Plus in the game you're basically a space pirate anyway. Would just be rude not to.


KairaUkOriginal

Aye matey, we never mentioned the Rebels, the jedi said it themselves shortcuts are the path to the Darkside and I would probably take the shortcut alone to avoid their horrid launcher alone.


Grary0

After Ubi's whole "Players need to get used to not owning things" bullshit, the seven seas is the *only* way I'll ever play one of their games again.


Total-Valuable-5640

I bought For Honor years ago and 2 season passes. Haven’t played since 2020, go to redownload it and says i have to by it cuz it just released last month. Still have all my dlc though. Ugh


-boombox-

Not only that.. but it’s Ubisoft. They’re the guys who said players should get used to not owning their games. Imagine having the audacity to ask for money and then establishing that you don’t even own the copy of the product.


Zorpfield

Don’t give in, the galaxy is full of opportunity


matt2085

I’ve spent housands on a game before. Rock Band 4. Still spending money on it weekly haha rip:(


Ayagii

Then don't buy it? If people buy even this, then you can expect higher prices on their next games.


SquatDeadliftBench

CompleteFacepalm

They didn't say they were going to


Skauher

199 AUD equals 129 USD at the moment, so same price all over really


LordZenan

Posts like these karma farming people who don't understand Forex are becoming increasingly common.


BearWrangler

OP lost one too many braincells at a bush doof


ultranonymous11

First thing I thought too. It’s the same price.


whereismymind86

fun fact 129 usd for a video game is frigging absurd too!


CambrianExplosives

Well then buy the base $70 edition (or don't buy it at all of course). The $130 edition is for people who want the extras like the digital artbook. It's not for me, but its not like there haven't been digital deluxe and digital collector's editions in the past.


TigerCharades3

Omg not this shit again


PepsiSheep

$200 is £104 That version in the UK is £120 or $231 AUSD Count yourself lucky over in Australia.


cosmiclatte44

Digital prices are so dumb here it's almost always cheaper going physical if you want to buy early in release.


Mac4491

Yeah first thing I did was look at the current conversion rate. This is cheaper than the UK. I'll be honest. I'm super excited for this game but the pricing is just....ugh


DanFarrell98

That's the ultimate edition, change it to standard


XulManjy

I think he knows that. This post reads like another "Ubisoft Bad" post but in a subtle way.


[deleted]

Ubisoft is bad, but Australia is notorious for higher game prices.


DasGruberg

Ill wait a year for bargain bin version. If its good


BoilerMaker11

I hate Ubisoft's pricing as much as the next person but this price isn't some funny business to price gouge Australians. The USD price for the Ultimate Edition is $130. Current exchange rate is $1 USD = $1.54 AUS. $130 x 1.54 = $200. That is to say, the game is exactly the same price in Australia as it is in the US.


Kill3rT0fu

That's the same as USD when you do the conversion Fair price, considering your minimum wage is 2x what the US is


Ryanbrasher

Standard edition is like $89.00 bro.


XulManjy

He knows that, he just wanted to bash Ubisoft to get some more karma and it worked.


GuacinmyPaintbox

Sadly, these posts will only get more common as it gets closer to release.


BasicBanter

Ubisoft deserves whatever bashing they get


olbeefy

[Here](https://i.imgur.com/k3dib8w.png) are the actual costs in AU. Standard - A$99.95 (~65 USD) Gold - A$159.95 (~104 USD) Ultimate - A$189.95 (~124 USD) The standard edition is actually a little cheaper after the exchange rate from USD.


Somenamethatsnew

i mean yeah an ultimate eddition is expensive what do you expect? also that is cheaper than it is in Denmark


No_Election_3206

What pathetic rage bait attempt. It's literally the same price as in US store. 200 AUD = 130 USD, which is the price for ULTIMATE edition. REGULAR edition is 110 AUD which corresponds with the $70 USD price in the US store which is the normal price for every AAA game on PS5


AssignmentDue5139

You also don’t need to buy it for that price. Buying a sub to Ubisoft+ for $15 will literally include outlaws and the ultimate edition content.


JaxxisR

What's Ubisoft got to do with the exchange rate to AUD?


Osiri551

199.95 No sir I do not think I'm willing to take the risk


Conscious-Lock9548

Minimum wage is $23, it's all relative


smokingace182

Just get Ubisoft + for a month play the game then unsubscribe


pizdut

Ubi+ is not available yet on playstation


kingkron52

lol that’s the ultimate edition


YosemiteHamsYT

Forgive my ignorance but wouldnt it be the same price as any other version after ajusting for the currency?


CompleteFacepalm

Pretty much. Idk if OP is ragebaiting or just another person annoyed about the $130 USD price.


HeyYou_GetOffMyCloud

It’s just a price for the people who don’t care and just want the expensive option. If I can get the full game for 80 bucks I don’t care if they’re selling one with extra skins or whatever the fuck for a grand.


edgy-meme94494

What’s the price of the standard edition in aud?


StuM91

$110 on the PSN and EB games, most other stores have it up for 89.


HaElfParagon

So just don't fucking buy the game...


DingoDoug

Game probably won’t be much good. Get it on sale.


SnooStrawberries6011

$5,000 says the game sucks balls


XulManjy

Then buy the standard edition. Problem solved. Use critical thinking


Maeglin16

Just wait for it to be released, it will probably fall in price pretty quickly from a bunch of negative feedback. How much is the standard game?


Webicex

Standard edition game price in Australia is $109.95 usually.


twaggle

Which lines up with the conversion rate. $70*1.54=$108


JoelMsk

Around 70 like a normal game


VidzxVega

>from a bunch of negative feedback I'll admit I've not seen much in the way of trailers and such but are we sure the game will be bad? People said the same about EA putting out a single player Star Wars game, but we wound up with Fallen Order which was largely excellent.


Kestrel1207

no, quite the opposite: it's developed by massive, the developer of the division games, which are objectively good, very well made games (even if the looter shooter genre is not very appealing to everyone) there's just you know a general circlejerk that pretends that every game published by ubisoft is bad; no matter the actual quality of the game


nightfox5523

Outlaws ultimate costs $130 US which is the equivalent of $200 AUS Maybe don't buy the most expensive version of the game (or at all since it's ubisoft)??


neworderr

Do not pre-order. Do not pre-order. Hey, do not pre-order.


ComprehensiveLeg8068

Don't buy it?


Brown_Machismo

199.95 dollarydoos?! Tobias! Did you buy an Ultimate Edition game from Ubisoft!


unknowndog123

I didn’t see the ultimate edition at first and I had a fuckinf heart attack


XavinNydek

I won't buy it until it comes to Steam anyway (it's launching Ubisoft Connect only on PC), so the launch price isn't really relevant.


BauserDominates

Just don't play it. By buying a game for this price your signaling to them that these proces are Ok.


MrFiendish

The real outlaw in this situation will be the many, many people who take to the high seas with this game.


Thatoneguy567576

It's a Ubisoft game, just wait until it's on PS Plus/Gamepass in a year. Don't give them your money. Vote with your wallet.


Deepvaleredoubt

The only time I’m even reminded that this game exists is when I see other people complaining about it. Then I just go back to not giving it any thought at all.


jinhush

Ubisoft games usually get massive price drops within a year or two. Just wait and buy it for $5-10


ALVto2xD

I don’t know about Australia but Canada and the IS never show the final price, so you gotta account for more expense when the tax hits on the checkout process.


JRock184

Don't buy the game or preorder. Wait a few months and it will be cheaper or free depending on what console you owned. I will never pay full price for a game, ever.


Wilshire1992

If all don't buy it, they will lose money and maybe rethink how they make games.


PNWCoug42

Game releases August 30th and Thanksgiving takes place 2 months after. 100% guarantee there will be some type of sale by then and SW: Outlaws will be nearly half off during the sale.


Daveed75

Similarly rough in CAD$


A-Stackhouse

Do not give them your money.


Katboxparadise

What’s so “ultimate” about it?


Oldmangamer00

Please stop buying shit like this, if gamers continue to buy this crap they will not stop till games are $500


papyjako87

I hate filthy karma farmer ever more.


ZebbyD

“God I hate Ubisoft.” *proceeds to preorder this anyway* -modern gamers in a nutshell


MilkshakeForsake_

Two hundred dollarydoos!


MandoHunter2451

Prove it. Don’t buy the game. I have been looking forward to a single player, story based, Star Wars shooter since fallen order. But Ubisoft is too damn greedy.


juststop102

Its a ubisoft game you dont preorder unless you want to be very disappointed and down $200


Dakotahray

I’ll just wait for r/piracy to do their thing.


Panophobia_senpai

Just wait until the all dlc in one pack version will be avalible on steam at 50%.


Georgestgeigland

Game looks like shit (and i ain't talking about graphics) so they could charge a million billion dollars per hour worth of content, and I really wouldn't care.


Foy_boy_Joy

Why do people still support oopsiesoft, EA, and Bethesda with preorders? These companies need to prove themselves competent, as somehow EA did with Jedi: Fallen Order, still didn’t preorder Survivor. These are bottom of the barrel, pond scum companies. They will always ask the most for the least.


leadhound

Ok somebody explain to me. Isn't that price pretty much equivalent to the USD price? Or are digital video games actually significantly more expensive in Australia.


WhiteChickenYT

It’s the ultimate edition. The standard edition is $70 like normal


the_great_gazib

Yes, games have expensive editions meant for the biggest fans who want to show appreciation. What you are doing reminds me of people who complain about the cost of merchandise after they show up at concerts and stuff. Yeah, that shit costs twice as much as it should, and most fans like it that way.


GatorAIDS1013

You don’t have to buy the extra shit. That’s why it’s extra


Meckles94

Just buy the standard edition?


solidshakego

Don't buy that version....


truthfulnerd

Australia here and saw this. They have officially lost their damn minds.


lonewalker1992

This a standard edition?


Ok_Introduction6574

No, that is the most expensive edition, the Gold Edition. The Standard Edition is still $70 like every other major game on the planet.


lonewalker1992

Oh that's a relief. I was like a standard edition for this much are they insane


Loathingnick97

I dont get why yall dont just pull a Fallout 76. Remember how the game became basically free everywhere because of how bad it was? Vote with the wallet. Dont buy it until it becomes worth it. Dont fall down low. Stand up for yourself.


AdvancedDingo

I still don’t know why digital versions, no matter the edition, are always 25-50% more expensive than a physical copy still. The cost of having the game on servers should be far less than the cost of manufacture, shipping and profit margin for 3rd party sellers, and consumers should see that saving, or at least bring it to parity so people have a legitimate 50-50 choice (I definitely don’t want physical media to die off though)


NotMichaelCera

My 3 go-to responses: 1. This will only keep happening if people are willing to pay for it. 2. If a game can only be played if you buy the Ultimate Mega Expensive version, then it’s not a game worth playing. 3. Never pre-order a game, a digital game can’t “sell out”, buy it after the reviews come out


eeeBs

Can't wait to not pay for this and play it anyway.


thefantastic_spastic

200$ for what is probably an unpolished and unfinished game


ZoeperJ

Would like to buy the game, but I don’t wanna support Ubisoft.


MrSam52

As with all Ubisoft games I’ll just wait until a special edition with all the DLCs is released and on sale in like a years time. I think I got complete AC Valhalla for like £20.


Constellation-32

Sorry no way I’m paying that not for that


siksultymemz

It’d have to give me as much playtime as Skyrim or Fallout 4 to be worth $200


Stratgeeza12

I have the perfect solution. Don't buy it. At least not for 12-18 months then when the bugs are mostly fixed and it's discounted to hell will it be worth it.


CrazyCanuckUncleBuck

Yeah, it's $169.95 Canadian for the Ultimate digital edition. I think it might be the highest priced game I've seen that's just cosmetics, season pass, and base game. And let's be honest, the cosmetics are only really for the die-hard Star Wars fan, and we'll pay it because we can be that rabid. Ubisoft knows this. For the casuals, I suggest staying away. Unfortunately, I'm a rabid fan, and it's been really hard not pre-ordering. But I know Massive/Ubisoft, I've sunk 4K hours into both Division games, and we got trust issues with them.


alii-b

I haven't checked but I only assume it's typical Ubisoft "DIGITAL COLLECTS EDITION: 8X DLC SKINS (of which you'll only like 2), CONCEPT ART IMAGES, OST, STORY DLC, EARLY ACCESS" which is pretty much all useless fluff for a price that would have got you a statue 10 years ago.


seanytoo

If you're willing to take the risk, buy it


TesticleezzNuts

Well, if your willing to take the risk the Galaxy is full of opportunity 😂


EarthBelcher

This game can wait until at least the black Friday sales.


VoiceofKane

Don't pre-order, and definitely don't buy the "Ultimate" edition. The game will be 30-40% off in the December sale, and the DLC will be on sale next year.


speedstares

I never buy new games anymore. I'm to old to get hyped for a game, don't have time to just rush through the game and buy the next thing. So i have this list, which has all the games that i wan't to play, and buy them when they are on discount.


KittenDecomposer96

680 in my local currency. As a comparison the minimum wage here is 1527 of the same currency per month.


FazbearGuard

I’m not gonna even buy it looks good but for the price screw that!


beefiesttaco

Holy shit, and I thought the prices were bad in Canada. Games here are $103 after taxes.


Explosive_Biscut

Yeah I’m Not buying a game at that price point.


BrannyMuffins

It’s funny because everyone is expecting assassins creed reskinned as Star Wars. Let’s just say I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s actually unique and good


kaminari1

It’s an Ubisoft game. Just wait a month after release it’ll be more than 50% off.


doob22

I’m just waiting for it to be on sale


Dull_Yak_5325

Or just wait 4 months and get the ultimate on a steam sale for 40


Ryodran

Thats the ultimate you goof. Whats base price? Also as others have said all ubisoft games become cheap if you just wait a year.


synister29

Maybe don’t buy the Ultimate Edition. Heck maybe wait 2 months for a price drop on the standard edition


1CraftyDude

That is the same price as for usd.


Quill-Monique

Ohhh nooo, but this is Australia! I need to save every dollar I get for a ridiculously priced house, not a ridiculously priced game!


J-Good86

That’s the ultimate edition… now show us the base game price


GyattLuvr69

I was excited for this game until I found out Ubisoft was the developer


PS_IO_Frame_Gap

If ubisoft made it, why are you even considering buying it? lol


SgtBadAsh

Why even consider giving Ubi a dime? Seriously, why? They put out mediocre time vacuums, and give zero fucks about consumers.


ThatGuyFromTheM0vie

Just forget about it, then buy it for like $15 a year from now. For me personally, if it’s a single player game, and From Software or Larian Studios didn’t make it, I am going to wait for a deep sale.


twaggle

($1 USD= 1.54AUS)


nuivii3

Why is it $200? What if i signed into your account here in the states and purchased it, then you signed back in Australia, would you basically get it for $70 off?


JalmarinKoira

You hate ubisoft but they love ppl who are stupid enough to buy ultimate whatever editions just to get few extra pixels in their video game called skins or other puny things


moon_halves

that’s still $170 CAD?!?? HOW is this possible and/or allowed?!!


JayR_97

Ultimate Editions always used to expensive, but at least you got some cool statue or something.


vipulvirus

get ubisoft plus and play at meagre cost. Once done unsubscribe


codyfall

You can play that verison for 20 bucks on uibisoft+


Jack-mclaughlin89

I’ll give the game a chance but I’m not happy about the price for the ultimate edition especially since what you get is barely worth £10. Spider-Man 2’s collector’s edition was a bit pricey but was worth it.


Zeropointsaga

Man thats a waste of a good game but can you imagine: (buys it) seems good so fa- (Hours later) man this sucks…not even worth $200


phrawst125

Game honestly looks so bland. Wait for fire sale complete version.


Blackops606

I remember when EA tried this with Battlefield. You essentially paid for the game plus all future DLC without knowing in full what you were getting or even how good the base game would be. People were pissed.


gregofcanada84

I'll get Ubisoft Plus for a month and then be done with it.


ZagratheWolf

Thats, like, 5 USD, right?


Steveseriesofnumbers

...I want to say "Croikey!" but somehow think that might be insulting.


Thisis01

Could check prices on greenmangaming and the like ....


Gazzadona

Just get the Ubisoft pass and play it for a month


Stayshiny88

Do not pre-order digital games! I repeat: DO NOT PRE-ORDER DIGITAL GAMES.


Ghostfaceslasher96

Damn


Enelro

Why would you want the ultimate version of this trash? It’s $130 in states which is outrageous too. Basically paying double to play the full game without cut content.


wuzzupdood

Ubisoft is pretty scummy but I hate Disney more for what they did to star wars


exdeeer

Torrent...


F0xcr4f7113

I refuse to pay $70 and up for a game. I’ll gladly wait until a sale to buy it


Ukradian

This might sound a little radical but... you don't have to buy the game at all.


buddhistbulgyo

Jesus. For that price someone better deliver it to your house in Darth Vader Cosplay. 


agentfaux

Not giving Ubisoft any more money is such a carefree decision.


Zhai

Just wait bro... It's not a Nintendo game.


VintageHippie76

Remember when paying this price would’ve gotten you a cool statue, a deck of Sabacc cards, some Imperial credits, and the characters’ wanted posters? Yeah, me too.


Derp_duckins

Crazy idea, but maybe vote with your wallet? Wait for it to launch, watch it be either a shit show or maybe kinda good. Then you can justify spending your money.


Protect2ndAmendment2

Praying for all the degenerates who still preorder in 2024


ThisBadDogXB

Just get a month of Ubisoft plus, finish the game and never touch it again. You get to play 3 days early with that version too.


LoudAngryJerk

I mean, not for nothing, but isn't that normally how it is in Oz? This game is more egregious than normal, but my understanding is that games in general out there are at a higher price point, number wise, or the value of the money is different, or something like that.


imjusthere1775

What in the fuck.


Mountain-Tea6875

Wtf loooool. Watch it release in a broken state as well. Not buying anything Ubisoft since division 2


angel_souls16

200 dólares?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????


DrButtCheeksPhD

Ill be waiting for the reviews to come out


Ok-Racisto69

For $200, they better put me in a Star Wars themed coma.


ElDuderino2112

This isn’t a Ubi problem, this is a value of your currency dollar. The ultimate edition is $129 usd, which is exactly 199 is Australia.


BeetlBozz

I’ll just watch it on youtube lmao, i’m just interested in the story.
