Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Receives Update and Microtransactions

Announced on Saturday, April 6, bigwig publisher EA revealed that PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will be receiving microtransactions next week, two months after the games release on Xbox One and Xbox 360. Not only that, but the title has also received a fair amount of updates, thanks to its Zomboss Down DLC that was released last week.

Players will now be able to buy in-game coins via the Sticker Ship, which will allow you to gain access to more of the game’s content more quickly. Fortunately, all of the game’s content will still be obtainable via regular gameplay.

Starting next week, players will be given the option to purchase coins from the Sticker Shop, ” reads the announcement, “ which allows players the ability to access new packs and character content more quickly – all the same content that can be earned through regular gameplay. Now you have the choice to play your way; you can play to get new packs and content via earned coins in the game, or you can purchase coins to get more of the packs and content you want right away.

With the release of the Zomboss Down DLC, PopCap has introduced gameplay balances to provide more ways to earn in-game coins, as well as a bunch of additional content including new character variations and over 200 new customization items. The full list of the DLCs content and changes have been detailed below.
