WildStar, the MMO from Carbine studios could be going free to play this August. A recent post on Reddit from a user claiming to be a Carbine employee has posted several details about the game's future. Apparently, the game will be going to a “Hybrid Free to Play model in August,”. While this won't be pay to win, there will be the ability to use microtransactions for things like XP gains and buffs. What the exact nature of this system will be is, of course, not fully known.





Of further interest, WIldStar will apparently be coming to Steam as the Steam database now includes an entry for the game. Valve has also apparently visited the studio offices, according to the poster "God_of_EDM".

Carbine and WildStar haven't been in the best shape recently with World of Warcraft stealing a significant percentage of the WildStar playerbase back with the most recent expansion, and considerable turnover at Carbine studios. Maybe going f2p will work for WildStar, and maybe not. Only time will tell.



What do you think? If WildStar does go free to play, will you give it a shot? let us know!
