Monetization
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| DLC | Minor DLC includes a faction and a campaign. |
| Expansion pack | The expansion packs are advertised as standalone releases that are mutually compatible online with the base game and each other. In reality, they are the same game with different segments available to the player, but with all files on all players' computers. Full access to all content requires ownership on the player's Steam account, but no further downloads are required. |
| One-time game purchase | The game requires an upfront purchase to access. The base game includes multiplayer access to the Renegades faction, and a singleplayer campaign. |
