The team behind Xbox Game Pass shooter Sniper Elite 5 has unveiled a brand new 'Complete Edition' of the game — set to launch on Xbox next week — and its upfront cost is eye-watering to say the least. This new version of SE5 comes with all of the game's DLC, but it'll cost you $109.99 / €109.99 / £91.99 to acquire. Ouch.
Okay, we get that this version contains two Season Passes worth of content among other bits and pieces, but more than $100 for a title that's over a year old seems extortionate! Anyway, here's everything that's included, as laid out by the team ahead of the edition's August 24th launch:
- Four additional DLC missions: Landing Force, Conqueror, Rough Landing and Kraken Awakes
- New weapons including fan favourite the Mosin-Nagant, as well as the P.1938 Suppressed Pistol
- Four weapon skin packs to give your arsenal a unique look
- Three DLC character skin packs, including the much loved American Airbourne and Ghillie Suit skins, along with two additional Karl skins
- The Target Führer Wolf Mountain Mission.
The good news for now at least is that the base game is still available through Xbox Game Pass, so if you've not got around to playing Sniper Elite 5 yet, you still have the chance via Xbox's subscription service. Of course, you could then pick up any DLC packs separately, but would lose access to the base game if it leaves the Game Pass library.
Thankfully, we think the base game is very good and is well worth a steady shot on Xbox Game Pass. Read up on all of our launch day thoughts on Sniper Elite 5 down below.

I usually buy Sniper Elite, but didn't happen to buy this one as it was on Game Pass. Thing is, I never got round to this one on Game pass either. I will likely buy this edition at some point, but I will be waiting for a deep sale before I do as, damn, that's expensive...!
Wait a few months that price is ludicrous
I found it unfortunate after years of waiting SE5 was pretty bad. It lost the charm of the 4th. Silent sniper bullets everywhere. One game I have preferred over SE is Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. The first is a bit weird. Second nailed it
These things are meant to be bought on sale.
Too expensive since the beginning (Season passes vs the low amount of content) and I loved the game & was almost tempted
Well I would imagine sales of that hugely expensive version of sniper elite game will TANK.
thankyou, thankyou no need for applause.
I like the sniper elite games but have never bought one full price as they ALWAYS seem expensive.
£20 is the price I aim for and I don't then mind if it's new or second hand at that price. Regards DLC. Don't lose any sleep over it. If the content is not in the standard edition then as far as I'm concerned it's not part of the game so will never get purchased anyway. The same goes for ALL DLC. DLC is a mugs game. Don't fall for it. Anyway over the next few weeks it's possible the vanilla edition of the game drop in price dramatically so keep your eyes open for that.
Oh! I've not played 5, @Deformedpye, but I thought 4 strayed too far from 3, funny enough. I thought the maps to be too open in 4 and thus it was too easy to alert the enemies. 3 had much tighter maps, made going through on the hardest difficulties a much less stressful time...
