Sony Online Entertainment has announced that DC Universe Online will be going free-to-play. Free players will have access to all the game’s content with two character slots; any player that has spent $5 will have a Premium account with more character, inventory and cash limits and Legendary for subscribers will come with all the DLC packs at no cost, more than 15 character slots and more than 80 inventory slots.

“When we launched DC Universe Online, we introduced a very different brand of massive online game driven by fast action combat to PC and PS3 gamers and with that, we discovered a new type of online gamer,” said John Smedley, President, Sony Online Entertainment. “We’ve listened to our community, and we’ve determined that the free-to-play model is the best fit for DC Universe Online. Our philosophy embraces learning from our experience and as a pioneer in the free-to-play space with proven successful games like Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures, we believe this new model will expand the DCUO experience and offer more options that cater to every type of player so they can play the game in a way that fits them.”
