You probably pay to unlock a few favourite characters and it would be a fraction of $60 one would think.

Its like gamers never played a IOS free-to-play game....this concept is so foreign to them and its been around for years.

The fact that you are comparing it to some crap on a phone, is the issue. This is a console, people EXPECT more.

Hey, that has nothing to do qith quality. two different things.

A lot of people dont associate phone gaming with 'quality', not saying KI will suck.

Nono not phone gaming, free-to-play, which just happens to be on phone games mostly.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ah, point taken. Though I do truly mean the free-to-play model, which in itself doesnt affect quality

He was referring to the F2P strategy, not the games themselves.

The only thing that stands is you missed the point.

Apparently this info is wrong and the demo is the f2p game with just Jago. But you can apparently add characters to the demo for a fee. So in a way.. it is kind of like mobile gaming. There are tons of games where you can play a limited free version but also buy some of the things that are in the paid premium version.

All versions of the game are digital. Including the collections edition.

DIGITAL
COLLECTORS
EDITION

Wtf Microsoft lulz

You can buy the full game with all characters. The f2p i s like the demo trial for you to test and if you want to buy only a few characters then you can or if not buy the full game
