Overview
Description

Rift drops players into a vibrant, ever‑changing fantasy realm where dynamic events and player‑driven politics shape the story. With deep class customization and real‑time combat, you can explore sprawling continents, battle colossal Rift‑spawned monsters, and forge alliances with friends or strangers. The game offers a free‑to‑play model with optional microtransactions for cosmetic items and convenience boosts, ensuring newcomers can jump in without a purchase while veterans can tailor their experience. Its robust PvE and PvP content keeps both casual adventurers and hardcore raiders engaged for the long haul.

Trove is a free-to-play action MMO that lets you and your friends dive into endless, procedurally generated realms. The Sun Goddess shattered the world, and now you can explore, build, and protect these realms while hunting loot and honing your blades. The game blends sandbox creativity with hack‑and‑slash combat, offering both solo adventures and massive multiplayer experiences across PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
