What are the EU4 DLC packs? It’s almost hard to believe that Europa Universalis IV is eight years old. The grand strategy game‘s many expansions total well over $200 at full price, and that’s just for the major add-ons. Whether you’re new to the game and you want to know what’s what, or you’re a vet looking to top up your collection, we’ve put together this handy guide to help you pick the expansions that are right for you.

Keep in mind that older Paradox expansions can get discounted anywhere between 25% to 75% off during sales. The longer something has been out, the bigger the discount. This list is in chronological order, so you can probably get the stuff at the top for a couple bucks if you wait for the right moment.
