No, Age of Rust will not be a free-to-play game, much like many single-player story-based games, it will be available for a price. So far the planned price is $14.99 for the title. This was the price for which the game was available when it was published on Steam in March 2021 before being taken off due to Steam's policy update concerning blockchain content on the platform. It is noteworthy that even though it will be a pay-to-play game, it is heavily stressed that it won’t be a pay-to-win game.
