Valve on päivittänyt ja tarkentanut Steamissa lisäsisällön ja niihin sidottujen kausipassien myymiseen liittyvää ohjeistusta. Kehittäjien täytyy jatkossa selvästi viestiä tähdätty julkaisuikkuna myydylle sisällölle sekä sisällön peruskuvaus. Oletuksena lykkäys on mahdollista kerran kolmen kuukauden aikaikkunalla. Muissa tapauksissa kehittäjän täytyy olla yhteydessä suoraan Valveen.

Season Pass Guidelines

When a Season Pass is made available for purchase on Steam, it must include the following information:

  • A complete list of all DLC included in the Pass. (e.g. listing each of the four DLCs included in a Pass).
  • A basic description of the content that’s included in each DLC. For example, the first content release might be “The Glitterlands Expansion – New area to explore, two new weapons, and new enemies.” It’s not required for the DLC to have a final name at the launch of the Season Pass. The information about the content in the DLC doesn’t need to be detailed (simply “new weapons” or “two new weapons” is acceptable, they don’t have to list the exact weapons).
  • Expected release date for each DLC. Quarter and Year (e.g. January to March 2025) or Season/Year is acceptable. Of course, a date that’s more precise is also fine (e.g. June, 2025 or June 1st, 2025).

A Season Pass must include at least one released DLC when it is made available for purchase*
*with the exception of Season Passes included in a Pre-Purchase of a deluxe edition.

Delaying or cancelling a DLC in a Season Pass

We understand that game development doesn’t always go as planned. If you think you aren’t going to be able to release a DLC into the Season Pass by the quarter you promised, we allow you to self-reschedule the release date one time only during the Season Pass. You can pick a new date up to 3 months later than you originally selected. If for some reason you need to delay more than that, please reach out to us directly.

If you cancel a DLC in a Season Pass, customers will be offered a refund for the value of unreleased DLC.
