The role, in context
The Standard Edition is the smaller of the two editions announced for launch: the base game on its own, with a ten per cent discount attached to pre-orders and nothing else added. The rest of what is recorded here comes from the store listing rather than the announcement — the features it names, the categories it files the game under, the studios credited on it, and the third-party agreement it says is required. Two things are deliberately absent. There is no price, because the amount a store page shows depends on the country it is opened from, and no release date, because that one has already moved once.
What is documented over time
Both editions were announced together, in the article that set out the release plans and the content planned for the year after launch. It listed their contents side by side and attached the same ten per cent pre-order discount to each. That same article named a launch date which a later announcement has since replaced, so its schedule is out of date — but the edition contents it published were not touched by that move, and they are what appears above. The store listing has since filled in the surrounding product detail. No revision to what the Standard Edition contains has been published since.
How it is presented in play
What a reader usually wants here is the difference between the two editions, and it is a short list: the Standard Edition has the base game, and none of the expansions, the soundtrack or the early unlock that come with the larger one. Those are set out on the Commander Edition page so the two can be compared line by line. The features named on the store listing are worth reading before assuming a mode is there: single-player, online player-versus-player, online co-op and Family Sharing are named, and nothing beyond them is. What is missing from that list is unannounced, not merely unmentioned.
What you can — and cannot — conclude
The error to avoid is reading the store listing as a specification. Its requirements entry asks for a 64-bit processor and operating system, then leaves the operating system field itself reading “Coming soon” — which means the requirements are not published yet, not that they are undemanding. A page that fills that gap with a plausible graphics card has invented it, and a reader cannot tell the difference. The price deserves the same caution: the figure shown changes with the country the page is opened from, so quoting one would describe where we were sitting rather than what the game costs.
