Tribes: Ascend is a free to play –

Wait! Come back!

Tribes: Ascend is the 2012 update to the dormant Starsiege: Tribes series. It is still the Tribes I remember with a fresh coat of gameplay and visual paint. It is still the jetpack flying, spinfusor blue plate special slinging, flag capturing rockin’ good time. It is also free to play.

Free to play does not mean pay to win. It is not some cut-rate budget version of a better, more encompassing game. Hi-Rez Studios does not want to sap your wallet by putting out a game that offers more if you pay more.

It is what it is; one of the best free to play first-person shooters to hit the PC market in 2012 and a resoundingly successful, addictive update to Tribes that offers everything to everyone at the cost of time or money.
