Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will receive an update adding microtransactions, a spokesperson from PopCap Games has confirmed.

Writing on publisher Electronic Arts' website, PopCap Games producer Brian Linley said the new functionality will be available this week.

The update will allow users to purchase in-game coins with real currency in the Sticker Shop. A variety of packs and character content will be available, all of which is available to unlock free should the player choose to do so.

"Now you have the choice to play your way; you can play to get new packs and content via earned coins in the game, or you can purchase coins to get more of the packs and content you want right away," Linley wrote.

The producer also detailed a list of changes ushered in with the recent Zomboss Down DLC pack, including increases in gold rewards for certain activities and achievements, as well as small balancing updates.

The free DLC pack also added a western-themed map, eight new character variants, and an increased level cap.
