Disney Dreamlight Valley launched in 2022 as a game planned to become free-to-play eventually, and at one point that seemed slated to occur in 2023. Most recently, however, the team has revealed that the free-to-play economy previously planned for the game is no longer in the works. Instead, the game will remain a premium game with a sticker price attached for all players. Here’s everything we know about the move by Gameloft.

When Will Disney Dreamlight Valley Be Free To Play?

As mentioned, Disney Dreamlight Valley will not be a free-to-play game, despite earlier plans being announced to the contrary. The team has gone into some detail regarding why this change occured, citing an ability to develop the game differently if it has a sticker price attached and a different direction than what a free-to-play economy dictates.

“This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players. It’s important to us that we maintain our promise to keep delivering free content updates that add new characters, realms, clothing, furniture, and more surprises to your Valley.”
