Speaking during an interview with WCCFTech, LEGO 2K Drive‘s Creative Director, Brian Silva, has confirmed that the game will include microtransactions via an in-game store, which provides players with optional items.
LEGO 2K Drive will offer two kinds of items for players to acquire, one of which is purchased using currency obtained by playing the game, while the other is can only be snapped up by using coins that are purchased with real-life money.
LEGO 2K Drive features an in-game store, Unkie’s Emporium, where players can acquire optional items including new vehicles, minifigures and more,”said Silva.”There are two types of items in the store, ones that can be purchased using Brickbux earned through playing, or ones that can be purchased using coins obtained through a real currency purchase.
Safety and responsibility was a top priority for us when creating LEGO 2K Drive. To ensure parents can make the right decisions for their kids, to make purchases a player must create a 2K Account. If the player is underage, their account must be verified by an adult, who then has the ability to block in-game money purchases.
LEGO 2K Drive is scheduled for release on May 19 for PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
