How much does Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 cost?
The Standard Edition costs $49.99 in the US storefronts directly checked for this guide. That purchase provides the base game. It is the appropriate comparison price for players who want the full core release without the extra Premium cosmetic and weapon packs.
Prices are dynamic commerce data, so the current store is always the final authority. Taxes, currency conversion, regional pricing, sales, and platform rounding can change the amount shown at checkout. This page records the platform and verification date so a temporary discount is not mistaken for the permanent list price.
Standard and Premium prices compared
Xbox lists the 40th Anniversary Premium Edition for $69.99. Steam currently presents the Premium option as a bundle containing the $49.99 base game and the $19.99 upgrade, producing a displayed bundle total of $69.98. That one-cent difference is a storefront presentation detail, not evidence that the editions contain different core products.
The Premium Edition costs roughly $20 more than the Standard Edition because it adds the Premium content. Players who already own the base game do not need to buy it again; both Steam and Xbox list a separate $19.99 Premium Edition Upgrade. See the Premium Edition contents before deciding whether those extras matter to you.
What is included in the Standard Edition?
The Standard Edition is the base Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 game. Official store descriptions confirm up to four-player co-op, single-player support, the five main classes plus the customizable Specialist, dedicated Horde maps, and weapon and equipment customization. Those gameplay systems are not described as Premium-only features.
Buying Standard therefore does not mean buying a reduced campaign or a multiplayer-only version. It is the main game product. Platform-specific features such as Xbox Play Anywhere or Steam achievements depend on the store rather than the edition.
What does the Premium price add?
The official website describes the 40th Anniversary Premium Edition as the base game plus exclusive weapons, outfits, and additional items inspired by Ripley and Herk Mondo. Xbox identifies the included add-ons as Herk's Mondo Pest Pack and Ripley's Hive Exterminator Pack. The exact items inside those packs should be taken from their current store descriptions and not expanded with guessed names or statistics.
The separate upgrade is useful for players who start with Standard and later decide they want the Premium content. It is not a second copy of the game. The Premium Edition guide provides a focused comparison without treating cosmetic preferences as objective value.
Price differences between platforms and regions
The table above covers the US Steam and Xbox pages checked on August 26. PlayStation, Epic, and other regional stores may display different currencies or local prices. A price seen in euros, pounds, Canadian dollars, or another currency should not be converted and published as an official US MSRP.
Use the Steam page, PS5 page, and Xbox page to compare platform features before purchasing. A lower temporary price may not outweigh differences in friends lists, controller preferences, achievements, or platform access.
Is the game included with Game Pass?
Game Pass catalog inclusion remains Unconfirmed. The Xbox store says that online multiplayer on console requires Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate, but that subscription requirement does not mean the game itself is included in the catalog. The current product page presents a purchase price.
Check the Game Pass status page for the precise distinction. Until an official catalog page says otherwise, the price guide should assume that a game purchase is required and avoid advertising subscription access.
