Star Wars: Squadrons does not have microtransactions and is not a live service game, EA has said.
Speaking to Game Informer, Motive Studios’ creative director Ian Frazier confirmed the promising-looking Star Wars space battle game is “complete and great in its own right”.
“Our mindset has been very old-school,” he said.
“We’re trying to say with this game that we have a $40 price point, we want to feel generous to players, and we want it to feel like a complete experience. Like, ‘You gave us your $40. Here’s a game that you will love. Thank you.’ That’s it. This isn’t something we are building around a live-service strategy. It’s built around a game that is complete and great in its own right. That’s not to say we will never add anything, I guess we could, but it’s not presented as a live service.”
