The Star Wars Battlefront Beta is almost over, but that doesn’t mean the hype surrounding the game will dwindle anytime soon. While the basic open beta is not without faults, it’s a decent taste of Electronic Arts’ newest multiplayer shooter ahead of its holiday launch. Now the company has officially announced Battlefront’s season pass.

Star Wars Battlefront’s season pass, listed at $50 on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and EA’s Origin PC client, will grant buyers early (and discounted) access to the game’s eventual downloadable content. So far, four expansion packs have been confirmed, though EA hasn’t yet divulged what will be included in said packs. Most likely, we’ll see some new weapons, new Star Cards (the game’s version of perks) and a new planet or two to fight on.

That season pass is on top of the basic price for the game, but EA will offer the Star Wars Battlefront: Ultimate Edition that comes with the season pass and a few other downloadable extras. EA’s Origin service currently lists that at $119.99.

Star Wars Battlefront will be released Nov. 17 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
