According to Techland, the developer behind Dying Light: The Beast, the highly anticipated survival horror game will not have virtual currencies or microtransactions. The latest entry in the popular series that began in 2015, Dying Light: The Beast was originally intended to be a second DLC for Dying Light 2: Stay Human. When hackers leaked its story, however, Techland felt that it needed to make changes and expand on its plans for the new content.
Stay Human, which was released in 2022, received generally positive reviews from players and sold an impressive five million units in its first month. That rating took a slight dip, however, when Techland released an update for Dying Light 2 that introduced DL Points, a virtual currency purchased using real money that allowed players to buy weapons, armor, accessories, and cosmetics. The pushback came in part from the fact that, often, the items for sale had better stats than those found while playing, adding a pay-to-win aspect to the game and making those who couldn't afford to indulge feel as if they were missing out.
