Star Wars: Battlefront has in-game currencies, but no microtransactions

Star Wars: Battlefront will have in-game currency, but you won’t be able to buy it with real-world cash.

DICE’s Niklas Fegraeus made the confirmation with Gamespot.

“The currency system is based on your game performance. The credits that you use to buy things in the game are earned,” he said. “You play the game, complete challenges, and that’s how you get credits.”

Two different in-game currencies exist, and work in tandem, he added.

“There are several [credit] systems working together here. Just doing things in the game earns you points, and those [points] earn you credits.

“That’s the baseline system; the more you do, the more credits you get. But then there are other systems, such as small challenges for you to complete, and rewards for different actions.”

Star Wars: Battlefront will be available from 17 November on Windows PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
