Is Wild Hearts Free-to-play?

2023 doesn't look like a big year for free-to-play releases, but given EA's library of free titles, fans were hoping this new game may be an exception. Will you be able to play it in any capacity for free?

Unfortunately for waiting fans, Wild Hearts will not be free-to-play, as we had expected based on the gameplay we have seen. Triple-A titles rarely go down this route, given the emphasis on single-player and storytelling, and the development that has gone into it.

Despite the price tag of the new game, judging by everything we've seen so far, the experience will be well worth it. Wild Hearts will define the hunting genre and much more besides when it drops and will be worth the wait.

Preorder Options

If you're keen to get the jump on this new release, there are a few options to pre-order the game, each with its own benefits. Here are all the ways you can preorder so you'll be the first to get in on the action:
