Be warned: Buying the Deluxe Edition of this game on the XB Store does not necessarily mean that you will have access to all the content that is promised in the product descriptions.
I bought the Deluxe Edition a while back when it was on sale. It was only after I'd bought and downloaded the game that I discovered that even though the bundle contains the Season Pass, the majority of the DLC isn't available in my region. Turns out that it is possible in some regions to buy game bundles that come with Season Passes or other DLC, even when the content hasn't been released in your region.
So, I contacted Microsoft to find out how this kind of thing could happen - how could I buy the SP as part of a bundle, even when the content wasn't actually available to players in my region? Microsoft's excuse was that the publisher must have made a mistake when they released the bundle on the XB Store, and they offered me a choice - an excuse which doesn't make sense, because the Season Pass is available to PlayStation owners in my region.
The XB Support person then informed that I could either request a refund from the XB Store or I could just carry on playing the game. Neither of these solutions is entirely satisfactory - with the first option, I lose access to the game and then have to buy a copy of the base game to carry on playing; with the second, I basically just have to accept the fact that I've been charged for content that I will never be able to access.
