Are the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Gold and Ultra editions worth buying?
To get either the Gold or Ultra editions, you’re either spending $30 or $40 more than the base game. That’s a sizable chunk of change, given most of the value comes from a season pass.

So you’re spending an extra $30, but you don’t actually know what you’re getting in return.

It’s safe to say that upgrading to either the Gold or Ultra editions is a risk at the moment. If you’re confident you’ll play a lot ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, we say go for it. But if you’re more of a casual player, maybe hold off until we know what the season pass entails.
