Crytek to be F2P only 'in two-to-five years'

Studio investigating potential for business model on consoles

Crytek is aiming to move into the triple-A free-to-play market completely within the next two-to-five years, the studio’s CEO has said.
Speaking to Venturebeat, Yerli said he expected free-to-play to rival the quality of triple-A retail titles in the Western market within the next two or three years.

Crytek has already dipped into the F2P space with online shooter Warface, which is currently in closed beta, and Yerli said the success of the title already has left the studio in no doubt about its plans to abandon premium priced retail games in future.
"We decided five or six years ago that we want to marry the quality of triple-A games with the business model of free-to-play,” said Yerli.
“And out of that position, Gface and Warface were born. And at that time, we decided some other games, in some of our other studios, would head in this direction.
