Both of these passes will come with the first four DLC characters in SF6. The following fighters have already been confirmed by Capcom to appear within a year of the initial launch for this game:
- Rashid
- A.K.I.
- Ed
- Akuma
DLC Character Costumes
Furthermore, both packs also include Colors #1 through #10 for the Outfit #1 costumes of Rashid, A.K.I., Ed and Akuma.
Exclusive to the Year 1 Ultimate Pass is the second and third outfits for the four DLC characters. You will also get Colors #1 through #10 from these outfits.
DLC Stages
The Year 1 Ultimate Pass also comes with two additional stages. As of this posting, Capcom has not revealed where these new locations are.
Drive Tickets
With the standard Year 1 Character Pass, you will get 4,200 Drive Tickets. For the Year 1 Ultimate Pass, 7,700 Drive Tickets will be added to your account.
For the uninformed, Drive Tickets are free virtual currency that you can earn by completing daily challenges as well as doing any other activities in SF6. You can use these to buy specific items from the in-game shop.
Recap
The Year 1 Character Pass comes with four characters: Rashid, A.K.I., Ed and Akuma. Each of these fighters includes one costume with 10 different color variants. This bundle also includes 4,200 Drive Tickets that you can use to buy in-game items.
The Year 1 Ultimate Pass comes with everything from the Year 1 Character Pass while also adding two more costumes (each of which have 10 color variants). Furthermore, you will also get two new DLC stages to go along with 7,700 Drive Tickets.
If all you care about are the new playable characters, then the Year 1 Character Pass is the cheaper option of the two DLC packs. If you want more outfits, stages and/or Drive Tickets, then you might want to consider picking up the Year 1 Ultimate Pass instead.
