Report: Microsoft Pursuing Free To Play 360 Games
Recent rumors suggest that Microsoft might support the model with microtransactions.
Develop posted a story late last week that offers up some interesting tidbits about upcoming Microsoft plans. Specifically, the report claims that 360 may soon be getting free-to-play games. The article goes on to describe a system where free-to-play games get money back through in-game items sales or premium upgrade options.
Would you be open to exploring free-to-play games on your Xbox 360? How about paying small amounts for incremental upgrades to the experience?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
