Editing Pillars of Eternity (section)

==Editions==
''Pillars of Eternity'' was released in a few different editions. Each edition includes the base game, and a series of bonus content and material, with the higher valued packages containing more additional content and bonus material.

On Steam, each of the editions (Hero, Champion, Royal, and Definitive) can be purchased as normal. On other DRM-free platforms, Obsidian have since consolidated this to only the Hero and Definitive editions, for simplicity, which was retroactively applied to the Steam version some time later. The expansions {{px1}} and {{px1}}, can be purchased individually, and are included as part of the ''The White March Expansion Pass''. On Steam, upgrade packs can be purchased on top of the base game in order to unlock the additional content contained in both the Champion and Royal editions.

For computers, the game is available for purchase at [https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/pillars-of-eternity Paradox Interactive], [http://store.steampowered.com/app/291650/Pillars_of_Eternity/ Steam], [https://www.epicgames.com/store/p/pillars-of-eternity Epic Games Store], [https://www.gog.com/game/pillars_of_eternity_hero_edition GOG], [https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/pillars-of-eternity/pillars-of-eternity/hero-edition Origin], and the [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pillars-of-eternity/id979217373 Mac App Store].

On consoles, the release is consolidated to a single ''Complete Edition'', containing the base game and its expansions. No additional digital or physical content is included. The game can be purchased on the systems themselves, or via the [https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/pillars-of-eternity-complete-edition-ps4/ Playstation Store], [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/pillars-of-eternity-complete-edition/bs34vnw7h61f Microsoft Store], and [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pillars-of-eternity-complete-edition-switch/ Nintendo eShop].
