We've played Horizon: Zero Dawn, and let us be clear: you can practically feel money pouring out of the screen. Sony's not been shy in stating that Guerrilla Games' open world adventure is one of its highest budget projects to date, but the platform holder won't be slyly recouping those costs by incorporating bothersome microtransactions.

Writing on Twitter, the developer has confirmed that there'll be no mini-payments in the game. That's refreshing because it must be tempting for publishers to incorporate temporary XP boosters and other such nonsense in their role-playing releases these days.

Of course, this doesn't rule out DLC entirely; we know that there'll be different costumes and gear for Aloy to equip, for example, and we honestly wouldn't be surprised if a Season Pass promising additional quests got announced at some point nearer to release. But there will be no microtransactions specifically, which is good news.
