Characters cost $5 in F2P version of Killer Instinct

4.6
Microsoft announced its pricing structure for the upcoming Xbox One fighting game Killer Instinct, revealing that additional characters will be priced at $4.99 apiece.

Killer Instinct will be available as a free download for the Xbox One at the console's launch, and will include a single playable character. A $19.99 "Combo Breaker Pack" unlocks the game's full roster of eight characters, including two exclusive fighters that are not initially available for individual purchase.

Players can also opt for the $39.99 Ultra Edition, which bundles all playable characters, a collection of accessory and costume packs, and the original 1994 arcade version of Killer Instinct.

I look forward to the game, but the prices for the characters, in my opinion are a little too high. Maybe if they considered selling the characters at $3/£2 it would be more worth it (Would also have to adjust the prices of the CBP and Ultra Edition).

M249 Always have to be ways to make money in F2P games. Hopefully the buyable characters will not have any advantage over the default ones.


I actually hope they do.

Boar Oh boy, I see a play to win coming. Watch these characters be better.


No, I'm pretty sure they will balance it like they did with Mortal Kombat.


I hope for our sake's they do, Play to Win games like Battlefield: Play For Free just get really annoying and boring when others use money to gain advantages.
