Do I get an early access game free on release?

[jackaz_]

Do I get the full game on release if I buy an early access game? Or do I have to buy it again when it's fully release? Please Help!

Thanks

If you paid for the early access, you paid for the game already.

Is this the same as pre-purchasing a game?

No. Early Access is a full purchase of a playable game. By purchasing, you gain immediate access to download and play the game in its current form and as it evolves up and through 'release'.

Thanks guys!

So is that a yes? I will get the full game on release? Or will I have to buy the final game as well as early access?

Anyone?

You get the full game. Early access means the game isn't finished, you buy it, get the current version of the game. When they update (like any game you have) you don't pay for the updates.

So simply, IF you buy early access, you WILL have the final game "FREE" when it comes out. And by free i mean you don't have to buy the game again.

If the early access game, you consider buying, ever makes it to the stage of 'going gold', then yes, you'll get it.

Thanks guys. Really put my mind at rest. I got DayZ standalone so that's why I was asking. Thanks again!
