Spectre Divide

Microtransactions in Spectre Divide are summarized as...

The game is free-to-play and as such is supported through in-game purchases, most of which are cosmetic, but some gameplay altering purchases are available as well.

To purchase any items you need to purchase a premium currency called "Spectre Points". These can be purchased in bundles where 1000 Currency is roughly equal to 10 USD, with larger bundles offering slightly more points in return. The currency can primarily be spend in nn time-limited always-rotating store with exclusive items that largely come in bundles. Each rotation is available for a week, after which the cosmetics may or may not return.

The game offers free reward tracks as well, through "Sponsors". Sponsors are individual rewards tracks which can be activated one at a time. With a sponsor active you will earn experience towards that sponsor through regular gameplay. Each sponsor offers it's own set of cosmetic and gameplay altering items. This comes in the form of unique abilities. These can be earned for free, or alternatively you can spend the premium currency to instantly unlock all rewards for that particular sponsor. Doing so costs 700 Spectre Points (roughly 7 USD, requiring the 10 USD bundle size). With a total of 8 sponsors this comes to roughly 50 USD, with the 5600 Points bundle.

The game also offers special edition packs;
- The "Supporter Pack", for 40 USD, offering various cosmetics and a bunch of premium currency.
- The "Founder's Pack", for 70 USD, offering different cosmetics and a little more premium currency.
Both packs contain different cosmetics that can only be purchased through each individual bundle.
