"In-app purchases" are purchases made directly in mobile or computer applications, including video games. They may include various products such as virtual currency, functionality extensions, premium content, subscriptions, and more.
In the context of video games, "in-app purchases" are often used to make money in free games (F2P), allowing players to purchase additional content or benefits. For example, players can buy virtual items, additional levels, currency in the game, boosters, cosmetic updates, and so on.
This type of monetization has become quite common in the gaming industry, especially in mobile games. However, it is also found in computer and console games. Games with "In-app purchases" may allow players to enjoy the base game for free, but they can also lead to criticism, especially if they allow "pay to win" scenarios where money-spending players gain significant advantages over those who do not.
