Just Cause 3 will not contain micro-transactions

One comment

Earlier today it was officially announced that Just Cause 3 would be arriving next year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This news came a few days after the leaked screenshots which led many fans to believe the game would feature micro-transactions. However, Christofer Sundberg, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Avalanche Studios, has released a statement confirming that Just Cause 3 will not feature micro-transactions, nor will it be free to play.

Those leaked screenshots were taken from an ancient version of Just Cause 3. Like most games, this one went through an exploratory phase where we looked at different control schemes, different technologies, different business models. Those leaked screenshots show aspects of that process, and in no way reflect the game we are making today … It will be distributed as a retail box and digital download. It is not a Free To Play game. It does not feature in-game micro transactions.Christofer Sundberg, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Avalanche Studios

Of course, this doesn’t mean that fans won’t be able to pay for additional content the old-fashioned way. Sundberg stated that after launch the team would be looking at releasing downloadable content, saying that “we are likely to look into DLC packs and items as part of our ambition to support Just Cause 3 and its players for many years to come“.

This is a good example of how not everything you read online is true; in this particular case I’m really glad it turned out to be false. It was the one off-putting thing about the Just Cause 3 news and fortunately now it’s confirmed to be rubbish. After all, no one likes micro-transactions.
