Coming soon.
Fractured Online is going free to play soon. The news came this week from the folks at Dynamight Studios and, in their own words, shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone. Instead those who bought the game will get their cost back in the form of seasonal passes.
The reasoning behind this choice is simple: the current box price of the game ($15) is very low, especially in developing markets (where it’s discounted further on Steam), and only accounts for a minority of our revenues. At the same time, the fact a box price exists at all still acts as a major barrier to acquiring new users. This is made even harder by the presence of strong F2P competitors in the market.
