Upcoming Pricing Changes on May 23 and November 2024

Ahoy, Renegades! We’ve been listening to your feedback about GE-0 Cash and the in-game Shop since the launch of HAWKED, and especially since Issue #1 Renegades. Many Renegades told us they found the pricing of GE-0 Cash confusing and had trouble assessing the value of items in the Shop.

Payments in HAWKED are always optional and generally offer more unique styles and cosmetics to rock when you’re looting X-Isle. However, we know from your feedback we need to focus on better value, clarity of our pricing policies, and more choices and variety for players who do spend money. It’s also important to us that the exchange rate from real-world currency to GE-0 Cash is more easily understandable.

Between the Issue #2 launch on May 23 and November, we plan to address your concerns and feedback with the following changes to pricing in HAWKED:

• Reduced Shop Prices (May 23): The price of items available from GE-0’s in-game Shop aboard the Riftwake will be changed. Many items will be reduced in price, with an average of 30% price reductions on certain item categories. The Premium Renegade Pass Bundle that grants 10 Levels will also be reduced.
• New GE-0 Cash Conversion Rate (November): The conversion rate of GE-0 Cash will become $1 for every 100 GE-0 Cash (excluding promotions and Pack bonuses). This will allow you to buy more premium currency when making bulk purchases and make the prices of in-game content more immediately understandable.
• New GE-0 Cash Packs (May 23 & November): Two new GE-0 Cash Packs will be introduced on May 23. We will roll out a new set of GE-0 Cash packs on platform storefronts to support the second phase of our pricing revamp in November 2024. Old packs will be phased out, and new ones will be introduced. This applies to the official HAWKED website, MY.GAMES Launcher, Steam, and Microsoft Store platforms.

While we would like to implement all changes as soon as possible, it will take a minimum of 90 days to roll them out completely due to our commitments to third-party platforms. We thank you for your patience as we work to improve our pricing policies in HAWKED!

We’re rolling out changes worldwide and across all supported platforms and storefronts (including the official website, Steam, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store) in two phases. Read on for more details about what to expect and when.
