Interactive Entertainment continued the trend with Mortal Kombat, Electronic Arts released their EA Sports Season Ticket in August 2011. One of the first season passes in video games was used by Rockstar Games with L.A. For some games with recurring season passes, content from older passes may become integrated into the base game at no additional cost. Similarly, Destiny 2 uses an annual pass model, providing players with access to exclusive content through three expansions per year. Ubisoft has considered this a better approach for players rather than developing a sequel. Some of these elements can be obtained by players without a season pass, using in-game credits, while other content remains exclusive to those with the pass. For example, Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege has used annual season passes that give players that purchase them access to new playable characters ("operators"), maps, weapons, and game modes. In other cases, season passes cover the content of a game for a limited period of time, on the order of months to years, which allow the developer to continue to add more content in lieu of developing a wholly new title as to continue to draw in revenue. Season passes may cover all planned expansion content for a game and represented a one-time purchase.
Many season passes state the type of content that players will get even though the exact content may be unknown at the time. Once purchased, the player gains all content that has been released to date under that season pass and eligible for future, unannounced content. Season passes may be available to purchase alongside the game prior to its release, or may available after the game's release.
