Just noticed that Starcraft II is now Free to Play. There are probably parts that needs to be paid, but it looks like you can enjoy much of the game without paying a single cent now.

Used to play the games back in the day, so this is a little trip down memory lane for me. Enjoy !

Ed: Apparently it's been FTP for a while now. However there wasn't a previous OZB post on this. So hopefully this will be useful for those who weren't aware like me :)

SC Wings of Liberty is one part of a trilogy. The Starcraft II Campaign Collection must be purchased in order to access the remainder of the (Zerg & Protoss) campaign missions and it includes all content for Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.

    I guess we must construct additional pylons…

    I think it’s been free since 2018!

      I did a search in OZB and there wasn't a previous post on SCII being free. I wasn't aware it was free and I wouldn't be surprised there are others who aren't aware either.

      The Verge is going to test SC2 on their benchmarking pc with an i7 hexa core CPU… yeah they've got one

    Only the Wings of Liberty campaign is free, still have to purchase the remaining two single player campaigns. Unless you're more interested in arcade/multiplayer, then go nuts.

      Wouldn't pay for another Blizzard game. They're anti-democracy and pro-CCP

        you should probably stop partaking in transport too since petrol comes from the Saudis and they're a dictatorship

          What an asinine argument.

          You can't 100% avoid oil-based products, but you can choose not to pay Blizzard.

            @Blitzfx: oil is everywhere but you choose Saudi oil because its the cheapest

        I'd be pro CCP too if half my corporations revenue was expected to come from China over the next few decades.

          Yeah, that's a fair argument, and that's a risk companies should take into account. If your majority income/supply chain is from China, their government can one day just arbitrarily cut you off just like how USA blocked Google exporting software to Huawei, and look what happened to them.

            @Blitzfx: that sounds like doing business with USA companies is quite a big risk. Thanks for reminding.

      • AussieZed on 01/08/2020 - 16:02

        You should stop buying any product made in China, then. Good luck with that.

    Previous post has expired so it is acceptable to post again.

    I thought I woke up back to 2017. Disappointed to see it's still 2020.

      Just a heads up, don't abbreviate the year to 20. It's too easy for someone to write an extra two digits… The reality of the year 2020…

    Yep, arcade/custom games and versus mode (unranked/ranked) is completely free.
    The first campaign Wings of Liberty (decent ~20 hour terran campaign) is free.
    3 commanders (essentially sub-factions with unique twists on the base race) in the co-op mode (Raynor, Artanis, Kerrigan), whilst all the other commanders are free to try up to level 5.

    The full campaign collection is also still on sale right now: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/554868

    • fossilfuel on 01/08/2020 - 13:47

      $22.95 for all 3 campaigns, nova corps and 4 commanders for co-op is very good deal. It's a bit unfortunate that the other commanders aren't on sale. I'd love to pickup the 2 other zerg commanders.

    Starcraft 2 arcade games are great fun while enjoying a beer or three

    • AlienC on 01/08/2020 - 14:35

      Direct Strike is my favourite game.

      I love that style of game.

      Castle Fight on Warcraft 3 also.

      Nexus Strike is ok too.

    I can't remember when it wasn't free. but I see lots of people didn't know it was!

    It has been free for few years now.

    I am still waiting for a decent sale on Diablo 3. The game is 8 years old. Such a stingy company.

    • Aus Falcon on 21/08/2020 - 20:41

      They do 50% 3 to 4 times a year. last time was in July. $15 for base game, $30 for battle chest, $45 for eternal collection.

  • Aus Falcon on 21/08/2020 - 20:39

    WIng of liberty and some limited multiplayer has been free for years
