Shifting to a free-to-play model yesterday, DC Universe Online opened the gates to the freeloading hordes. More than 120,000 signed up for the MMO said John Smedley, the president of Sony Online Entertainment. That figure’s for the PC, though. No word yet on PS3 enrollments.
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.
The first major dose of downloadable content for DC Universe Online, Fight for the Light goes live on September 6 in the U.S., with active subscribers donning green and yellow rings without having to pay a dime. Time to resubscribe!
Turns out it is easy being green. The newest DC Universe images give us a pretty good idea of what’s possible with the green guy’s powers in the new Fight for the Light update. Giant fists too traditional? Why not put your enemy into a man-sized green baseball?
