The monetization in the game has received significant criticism, with many players finding the presence of microtransactions, including a season pass and cosmetic purchases, excessive and intrusive, especially for a title that requires an upfront payment.

- “I will say though that I'm a bit put off by the monetization of the game; battle passes and cosmetics are (unfortunately) expected these days in free-to-play games, but it's not often I see them in games that require an upfront purchase anymore.”
