Marvel Tōkon editions, and which one you actually need
Three editions at launch. Prices are the US Steam storefront values; contents are from the official PlayStation page. The short version: the Year 1 Pass arrives one tier earlier than most people expect.
No, it is not free to play. $59.99 for the Standard Edition. The free open beta over July 24–26 is what makes people ask.
