Ubisoft has revealed that there “are no pay-to-win mechanics’ in XDefiant as the publisher gears up for the game’s launch on Tuesday following numerous delays.
Speaking in a blog post regarding the game’s monetisation plans, Ubisoft revealed that cosmetic items can be purchased with real money, but players will also have the chance to earn them in-game, too.
Any gameplay impacting content that is purchasable is also unlockable through challenges to ensure fair play amongst our community. For example, the DedSec faction in Preseason will be purchasable or unlockable through an in-game challenge by acquiring 700k XP.
Our goal is to be providing amazing customization options that reward all of the matches, victories, and even defeats that you put into the game. As you play that one more match, all of your time and energy will work towards unlocking content either through the Battle Pass or challenges.
