Is Cube World Free To Play?

Cube World left beta today and is now available on Steam. If you are wondering if the game is free-to-play, the answer is no. Cube World initially launched in an Alpha state over six years ago. It seemed to stall out for quite a well, before entering beta over a week ago. The game has now released on Steam for $19.99.

Will Cube World Go Free To Play In Future?

I sincerely doubt it. The developer has never expressed a desire to turn Cube World into a free to play game. In its current state, the game doesn’t easily support monetization in that fashion. If you feel the price of Cube World is a little too high for you right now, then waiting for a Steam sale if your safest bet.

Game description from Steam:
