2023 has been a great year for fighting games with Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 being hailed as the best entries in the installments. However, both titles suffer from an issue which is expensive in-game microtransactions.
It is now time for Tekken 8 to release and showcase what it has to offer to the franchise. While there is a lot of hype and belief surrounding the game‘s success, players are concerned if there will be any form of microtransactions within the game.
Here is all you need to know regarding microtransactions in Tekken 8.

Tekken 8 will not feature any microtransactions
Is Tekken 8 going to feature in-game microtransactions?
No, Tekken 8 will not have any form of in-game microtransactions. It will feature costumes and customization for its entire roster, but all of them will be free, although you may need to complete certain challenges to claim them.
However, these purchases are not in-game. Instead, they’re the various editions that you need to buy from the store.
This is good news for Tekken 8 fans as there has been immense criticism surrounding microtransactions in Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. Street Fighter 6’s costume 3 prices are abnormally high, and if you decide to buy it for every character in the game, it can go well over $100.
