NCSOFT and Carbine Studios have announced that WildStar is now free-to-play. New and returning players in Europe and North America can now get a free ticket to planet Nexus and experience all of the epic WildStar content that has been released over the past year.
[quote by=”Mike Donatelli, product director, Carbine Studios”]Today is an important milestone in WildStar’s history and the team has been working very hard to make sure the game is better than ever. We received a ton of positive feedback from our fan base through our closed beta and have worked to create a game that is fun, accessible, and engaging for all players.[/quote]
Having originally launched with a subscription model in June of 2014, WildStar was the highest-rated MMO on Metacritic for the year. The game’s free-to-play launch marks a major moment in the game’s development, improving the overall experience for both old players and new.

Many players have returned to the community over the last few months, reinvigorated by the game’s improvements and new, exciting content.
