Check current pricing and whether you already have the Year 5 Pass that includes this season.

Verify your PC meets SnowRunner's 64-bit OS and GPU recommendations and that you have sufficient storage.

If you rely on full audio/subtitle localization, note the DLC lists interface translations but not full audio or subtitle tracks.
