Ryse ditches microtransactions in next month's PC release

4.5

Crytek's gory hack-and-slash game, Ryse: Son of Rome, is on its way to PC platforms next month without the microtransaction structure embedded in its previously released Xbox One edition, Videogamer reports.

The version of Ryse that launched alongside the Xbox One console last year allowed players to boost their character stats using in-game currency, earned either through gameplay or purchased with real-world money. Several Xbox One-exclusive launch games premiered with embedded microtransactions last year, including the Xbox 360-ported Crimson Dragon, racing sim Forza Motorsport 5, and resurrected fighting game franchise Killer Instinct.

Crytek notes that the upcoming PC port also bundles all four DLC packs originally released as add-on content for the Xbox One edition, adding a Survival mode, new multiplayer maps, and other bonus perks. The package additionally includes a selection of expanded graphics options, along with support for 4K resolution.

The PC version of Ryse launches with Steamworks support on October 10.

Good thing no micro transactions on PC. This game never really appealed to me though

Good to see them getting rid on micro-transactions. All games should do this in my opinion.

This game just looks awful, period. I don't know that there is a lot to save it.

Alexyy The story on this was way too short especially with all the hype that was created..

Most likely still going to get it on pc.

There was hype for this game? Before the launch on the X1, I had never heard of the game.

And to add, so they were despised for adding microtransactions to the X1, so they take them away for the PC.
I dont know how to feel about this.

I have played this game when I first for my xbox one but it looks like PC gamers are getting a better deal, The game has a really nice storyline and is worth the money the multiplayer is okay but not the best but I might get this for PC further down the line when it is a little cheaper.
