With yesterday’s addition to the PlayStation Network and today’s flipping of the switch on the PC version, DC Universe Online is now free-to-play. Sony Online Entertainment celebrates with the most exciting trailer you’ll see all… oh, never mind.
Both versions of DC Universe Online now feature three levels of access — free, premium, and legendary, the differences between which are readily explained on the game’s web page. It’s a tiered system that handicaps those that don’t pony up at least a little cash, but not so much that the game isn’t enjoyable.
While I’m a fan of the game myself, I never felt the $US14.99 a month fee was worth it, considering it only takes a couple weeks to reach the game’s level 30 cap (if that). Now that it’s free I’d say donning tights and a cape sounds like a rather lovely idea. Why not give it a go?
