Disney Dreamlight Valley ditches free-to-play release plan | Digital Trends

Disney Dreamlight Valley will exit early access before the end of the year, but it will no longer launch as a free-to-play game.

Gameloft was intending this game to be F2P on release, but they’ve backtracked on the decision and decided to keep it a paid game. Note that the game still has microtransactions.

    Darn, that’s what kept me from playing this game was the hope that it would go free to play by end of 2023 according to Gameloft’s early promise. I enjoyed it on Game Pass for a trial period.

    If they keep free expansion content flowing, it may be worth dropping $30 USD for the base game to play it. However this is an online only game and I suspect it’ll get shuttered over the next few years if they can’t keep good content flowing.

    Such a shame. My interest in this game has almost plummeted to zero now. I’ll keep an eye on it and see how it does while watching their roadmap, and perhaps in two years I might pick it up for a 70% off sale.

      The blog post says that the new expansion pass will be paid.
