Is Brighter Shores Premium Pass worth it? Price & tiers explained
Brighter Shores, the new MMO fromRuneScapecreator Andrew Gower, is now available on Steam Early Access as a free-to-play title with an attached, paid-for Premium Pass.
Brighter Shores features a point-and-click movement system similar to RuneScape and multiple different skills (Professions) for players to engage with. Leveling these is key toincreasing in-game wealthand progressing through the story of Hopeport and beyond.
Like most subscription games, buying into the Premium Pass unlocks a wealth of new content otherwise not available, but is the asking price worth it, and what exactly do you get for the price?
Should you buy the Brighter Shores Premium Pass?
Yes, Brighter Shores’ Premium Pass is worth buying, but not straight away. For further context, the initial starting areas are free to all players, requiring double-digit playtime to complete.
That being the case, the best time to buy the Premium Pass is onlyafter completing Hopeport and Hopeforest, as you’ll need to do this anyway to unlock the Premium-exclusive Mine of Mantuban and Crenopolis.
Armor dyes are not immediately available, either, so if the only attraction here for you is additional customization options, it’s probably worth holding off until the feature unlocks in Crenopolis. Likewise,player-to-player trading, a key component of any MMO, iscurrently unavailable in Early Access.
Premium Pass Tiers explained
Three separate price tiers of the Premium Pass are available in Brighter Shores. All of these grant access to the same content, but differ in duration:
The above prices areaccurate as of November 6, meaning the cheapest option, if wanting to access Premium Pass features, is to choose the Subscription option. Buying the 90 or 365-day passes works out to be more expensive than paying the recurring subscription for the same amount of time.
