Having only just released in July 2026, Echoes of Aincrad had a phenomenal launch that saw 20,000 concurrent players on Steam. Since then, however, reviews of the game have been mixed. While many devoted Sword Art Online fans met the latest video game entry with enthusiasm, others have criticized it for lacking a varied gameplay experience, as well as for its retail price.
The current discounted price, however, solves one of those criticisms, while the promise of the upcoming DLC could bring added depth and additional experiences for players to enjoy.
Given the DLC will be released soon, now is the perfect time to pick up the Ultimate Edition, which includes a DLC pass that will grant players access to Genesis Maidens when it drops. But it also comes with additional content you won’t find in the standard version, like the full Unanswered//butterfly original anime film, unique armor packs, Death Mode Early unlock, a Starter Pack, and more.
While the biggest discount is coming to the Ultimate Edition, the Standard Edition is also getting a price cut going into Early Black Friday, making it also the lowest price to date on Amazon.

Given the current cost difference between the two, the Ultimate Edition feels like the better deal right now, especially when you consider getting access to an exclusive original Sword Art Online animated film as well as the upcoming DLC.
