    Free-to-play (F2P) video games allow players to access much of the game's content without paying, instead generating revenue through optional microtransactions for additional content. The most common F2P model is freemium, where the core game is free but payments unlock extra features. This contrasts with pay-to-play models where the initial payment provides full access. F2P was popularized by casual online games and later adopted by major publishers as a way to increase revenue from players who may not pay upfront or have older devices.

    Free-to-play (F2P) refers to video games which give players access to a significant portion of their

    content without paying. There are several kinds of free-to-play games, but the most common is
    based on the freemium software model. For freemium games, users are granted access to a fully
    functional game, but must pay microtransactions to access additional content. Free-to-play can be
    contrasted with pay-to-play, in which payment is required before using a service for the first time.
    The model was first popularly used in early massively multiplayer online games targeted
    towards casual gamers, before finding wider adoption among games released by major video game
    publishers to combat video game piracy and high system requirements. Without up front payment,
    publishers may charge money for in-game items or integrate advertisements into the game.
