In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, premium currency takes the form of Ghost Coins, which can be purchased in bundles. Toxic microtransactions in Ghost Recon Breakpoint There are microtransactions present in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint that extend beyond optional cosmetic items.Īs with most games, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint has “free” in-game currency that you can grind to acquire, and “premium” currency you can purchase directly in exchange for real money. While you have your optional cosmetic items, you’re also able to purchase blueprints for weapons directly, giving Ghost Recon Breakpoint a sort of “pay-to-win” feel. The Ultimate Edition fails to live up to its name as there's a lot it won’t get you, as evident by the endless array of items available for purchase in the game’s Shop. It’ll get you the game, the 1-Year Season Pass, a Bonus Mission, Off-Road Pack, and Survivor Pack. If adding a figurine to your collection is less important than unlocking in-game content, the step below the Collector’s Edition (the Ultimate Edition) should offer "most" of what you need, all for a whopping $119.99 (USD). Even before you get started, there are several versions available from purchase ranging from the Standard Edition at $59.99 (USD) all the way up to the Collector’s Edition at $189.99 (USD). Ubisoft is no stranger to questionable microtransaction practices, with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint being the latest example of what not to do.
