Microtransactions have been a hot topic in the gaming industry for what feels like a decade at this point. With the live-service model being used in different ways, in both free-to-play and fully priced games, the discussion on whether or not this system is good for the health of the gaming market will continue for years to come. Diablo 4 recently had an interesting addition to their shop, with a $70 mount becoming available, which costs more than the game itself.
Last Epoch is also going to be taking on the live-service model, with new content being added every few months. In this article, we are going to take a look at how the payment model for Last Epoch is going to work and whether or not there are going to be microtransactions in the game.

Does Last Epoch Have Microtransactions?
Last Epoch does indeed have an in-game shop featuring microtransactions. These can range from individual armor pieces to pets, portals, and entire themed bundles. The game also uses a premium currency called Epoch Points, which players must buy before interacting with the store. Here is the full list of different cosmetics available in the in-game shop:
- Back Attachments
- Pets
- Portals
- Armor
- Weapons
- Skill VFX
- Footstep Effects
- Portraits
Similar to Path of Exile, the game also features different tiers of Supporter Packs containing various types of cosmetics, as well as Epoch Points, which can be used in the in-game store. These are likely going to rotate each new cycle, which are going to be the new leagues/seasons in Last Epoch.
That is everything you need to know about whether or not there will be microtransactions in Last Epoch. Players might be disappointed that the game is pay-to-play while also featuring an in-game shop filled with cosmetics. While there doesn't seem to be anything as egregious as Diablo 4, just the existence of an in-game shop might be off-putting for some players.
