F2P is an acronym for "Free to Play". This means that the game is available to players for free and does not require a pre-purchase or subscription fee to play.
However, F2P games often have mid-game monetization systems that allow the manufacturer to make money through microtransactions or "in-app purchases/purchases in the application". Players can purchase items, in-game currency, visual updates, acceleration, or other content for an additional fee. Some players may play the game for free, but they may have limited opportunities or slower progress compared to those who spend money.
Examples of F2P games are "Fortnite", "Dota 2", "League of Legends", "Hearthstone", "Warframe" and many others.
Are Free to Play games really free?
F2P, or "Free to Play", video games, technically, are free to download and play. You don't have to pay the purchase price of the game or a monthly pass, as is the case with many traditional video games.
However, this does not mean that F2P games are not worth the money. Many of these games have in-app purchases or microtransactions where you can buy items, in-game currency, cosmetic improvements, acceleration, or other content for an additional fee. These purchases can add to the cost of the game, and in some cases, can become quite expensive.
Moreover, some F2P games may have a "pay to win" model, where money players gain in-game benefits. This can lead to a situation where the game becomes virtually impossible or extremely difficult without spending real money.
