New PS Plus Subscribers in Europe & Australia Can Get Star Wars: Battlefront For Free

Sony announced a new pro­mo­tion for their 12-month PlaySta­tion Plus sub­scrip­tion, but it only applies to peo­ple in Europe. Any­one who does not cur­rent­ly have a sub­scrip­tion to PS Plus will receive a dig­i­tal copy of Star Wars: Bat­tle­front Ulti­mate Edi­tion, but this is only for a lim­it­ed time and with pur­chase of 12-month sub­scrip­tion fee direct­ly from the PlaySta­tion Store. 

On the Euro­pean PlaySta­tion Store, the Pro­mo­tion says you get both for €39.99. The Ulti­mate Edi­tion for Star Wars: Bat­tle­front is already €29.99, so you are actu­al­ly get­ting a decent price for a high end edi­tion of a game (depend­ing on if it is a game you might want to play or not) and a year of PS Plus. Upon pur­chase, the “code will be sent via email or sys­tem noti­fi­ca­tion with­in 10 days of mem­ber­ship pur­chase.” In Aus­tralia, the sub­scrip­tion and the game will cost you $69.95. 

This deal is a “lim­it­ed time offer” no indi­ca­tion on when this pro­mo­tion ends. It appears the pro­mo­tion is only for Euro­pean and Aus­tralian cus­tomers, as the U.S. PlaySta­tion Store does not have the pro­mo­tion when you check it’s PlaySta­tion Plus mem­ber­ship sec­tion. What a bummer. 

The Ulti­mate Edi­tion of Star Wars: Bat­tle­front includes the base game and all the expan­sions, eleven added weapons, and 24 upgrad­ed Star Cards. There are four expan­sions — Out­er Rim, Bespin, Death Star, and Rouge One: Scarif. All of those include new maps, modes, and heroes.
