[PC, XSX, XB1, Steam] Free - Lords of the West, Dawn of the Dukes, Dynasties of India DLC for Age of Empires 2 DE @ Xbox, Steam

410

The base game is required (included with Game Pass).

These 3 paid DLC are now free for owners of the game. Note that while it is also included for new buyers the regular price of the game has increased from $22.95 to $39.95 (currently on sale for $13.98 at the Xbox AU store).

To celebrate, starting today new players can purchase Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and will automatically receive three DLCs: Lords of the West, Dawn of the Dukes, and Dynasties of India. By combining these DLCs with the base game, we’re offering a more complete experience to newcomers for only $34.99 (USD, please check stores for your local price).

For players who already own Age of Empires II: DE on Steam, Microsoft Store or Xbox, we want to thank you for playing with us these past five years by automatically gifting you any of the three mentioned DLCs that aren’t already in your collection. You can find instructions on downloading additional content on our Support Site.

        Oh awesome! This should go in post info

        • Added. I knew it was a Game Pass game but wasn't sure if the update was included, it makes sense it is.

  • this explains the relatively large update today on steam

    Which one would people recommend?

    • Oh nevermind, not relevant to me because it looks like I have all three already in my pile of shame - likely because they seem to be part of the AoE II: DE package or something? I see them already in this so I don't think I'm actually getting anything from this update?

        Nah. I never purchased them but they are now in my Steam library with no action from me.
        It looks like they've been automatically added to the account of everyone who ever purchased the base game.

      I think it is just their slightly poor wording and that they simply mean that if you already owned the base game, then any dlc you didn't already own, you now get them for free.

  • I already own AoE II:DE on Steam, but I can't see the option to install the DLC's - the instructions say to go to the game properties, but there's no 'DLC' option in there.
