2XKO will not force players to spend real money on characters, and will have skins and battlepasses as part of its monetization.
New 2XKO information was revealed live during Evo 2024, as part of a live panel featuring executive producer Tom Cannon and game director Shaun Rivera. In it, Tom Cannon revealed some initial details about how the free-to-play game will be monetized.
«You can be the best player in the world for free without spending a dime!» Exclaimed Cannon near the start of the presentation. A moment later, he revealed that all fighters can be earned in game without paying (while noting that it’ll require a bit of a grind).
