Team Ninja has confirmed that a free-to-play version of Dead or Alive 6 is currently in the works. This version of the game will be somewhat similar to Dead or Alive 5: Core Fighters, which was a free-to-play game with limited characters.
Dead or Alive 6 director Yohei Shimbori confirms the free version of the game exists after Dead or Alive 6 Core Fighters was seen in Microsoft’s online store.
"We do have plans to make a free-to-play version, but we haven’t announced when it will be available. We can promise it will be out post-launch of the full game. We can’t talk about it yet since we don't have concrete details about what will be included yet. But, it will be similar to what we had with Dead or Alive 5: Core Fighters." said Shimbori during an interview with Siliconera.
There’s no release date given for the free version, but you can expect it to launch sometime after Dead or Alive comes out on March 1.
With Team Ninja focusing on Dead or Alive 6 to be a solid contender in the growing esports fighting game scene, a free version of the game can go a long way. And with Dead or Alive 6’s new fighting mechanics, this is said to be the most accessible title in the series for new players.
Dead or Alive 6 will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

After more than 40 hours with Control: Resonant, my full review looks at Remedy's strange open-world adventure, its story, combat, exploration, and spectacular final act that it’s easy to consider this my favorite title from Remedy Entertainment.

Marvel’s Wolverine is a solid video game, and I enjoyed my time with it, but I left wanting more from both the game and the character. It succeeds at making you feel like Wolverine, even if the game surrounding that fantasy isn't always as compelling.
Arc System Works nailed Tokon and showed once again why they are one of the best in the genre. While it’s too soon to know if this game will perfectly fill the tag team Marvel void in the fighting game community, it launched with a respectable package perfect for everyone.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful, gorgeous remake that nails everything above water, even if its stale combat proves the series still hasn't solved its oldest problem.
