While Doom Eternal is still a couple of months away, players can put any fears of in-game purchases to rest. Hugo Martin, the creative director of Doom Eternal at id Software, confirmed (viaPC Gamer) that Doom Eternal won’t have any microtransactions or an in-game store.

Cosmetics that make you look different and stylish in Doom Eternal are unlocked with XP, with no secondary paid resources or direct purchases being necessary. XP can only be used to unlock cosmetics and is not how you improve your weapons, abilities, or progress in any other meaningful fashion during the campaign. “Eternal is a $60 game, not a free-to-play game or a mobile game” Martin said in aFacebook post.
