Part of a multi-expansion pack deal with Perry, this pack is different from regular stuff packs by omitting the tag "Stuff Pack" from its logo, having a differently-styled box art and costing roughly $10 more than previous packs. On July 15, 2013, a Community Manager for EA confirmed that this stuff pack has been retired and is no longer available on Origin. Therefore, EA will not produce any more physical or digital copies of Katy Perry's Sweet Treats.
