Is Marvel Snap Pay to Win? Explained

How much is too much

With free-to-play games, there is always the worry that they won’t always stay that way. You may always get to ‘play’ it for free, but to get anywhere in the game might cost you. It’s no secret that many popular free-to-play games these days end up making you feel forced to buy from their shop. Some players can use real money in order to level up faster than others. For you, keeping up with those with the cash to spend can be very troublesome or almost impossible if you can’t or aren’t willing to spend nearly as much as others. For Marvel Snap, it’s not as bad as it might look at first glance. Let’s take a deeper look and see if Marvel Snap is pay-to-win.

Is Marvel Snap Pay-to-Win?

The question is honestly a bit hard to clarify one side or the other depending on what you see as pay-to-win. The current update seems to be going over well with fans. You can level up your cards at a better pace. On the other side, you can still use real money to level up cards and buy many more cards faster than others.

Technically speaking, Marvel Snap is NOT pay-to-win. However, if you do spend real money, things are just faster and easier of course. Leveling up can be a fun but slow process unless you’ve got the cash to spare. Keep in mind though that you’re not really losing or lagging too far behind even if you don’t spend money.
