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.

Wake Absolutely loved this game on Xbox One, great story and beautiful graphics. I wish I had a strong enough computer to run it with 4k graphics, I can only imagine. Good to see the elimination of microtransactions as well.


Yeah the game on Xbox One was amazing!

It's kind of surprising that they would be doing this.

Wonder why. It would give them more money.

In some ways I suppose getting rid of micro-transactions in games is good to level the playing field, but at the same time its good to have them so that developers have more money to design and update the game

Unless you have a 4k monitor then it wouldn't look nowhere near as nice anyway, now imagine playing it on a cinema screen in 4K resolution


Sounds like a sexy idea to be fair, that is a total dream.

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.


It will look VERY nice on PC, but the story is super short so there's the trade-off.

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