Season Pass Season pass does not include any other DLC but is rather DLC containing all other DLC.
As such, soundtrack is located in <path-to-game> rather than Steam music folder.
Additionally buying DLC seperately is still possible even if you own Season pass, do not buy separate DLC if you own the Season pass!

Notes

  1. ↑ Unreal Engine 4 engine build: 4.27.2.0[1]
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/359100/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (359100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
