Is Naraka Bladepoint free to play?

Yes. Naraka: Bladepoint costs nothing to download or play. Steam lists it as "Free To Play", the PlayStation Store UK prices it as "Free", and the Xbox Store UK lists it as free with in-app purchases.

It wasn't always free. The game launched as a paid game on PC in August 2021, and NetEase moved it to a free-to-play model on 13 July 2023, the day it also arrived on PS5.

What you can pay for is optional: Gold (the paid currency), Season Packs and treasures that give random cosmetic rewards.

When did Naraka Bladepoint go free to play?

On 13 July 2023. NetEase's F2P FAQ on Steam (posted 5 July 2023) set the date and said servers would go down for maintenance at 2 p.m. PST that day; afterwards, anyone could download the game from the official website, Steam, Epic, Xbox or PS5 and create a free account. NetEase's press release timed the change to the game's second anniversary.

Players who had already bought the game got "veteran rewards": in-game Gold matching the edition they owned. NetEase also said players with Naraka through Xbox Game Pass were upgraded from the Standard Edition to the Deluxe Edition.

Where can you play Naraka Bladepoint for free?

• PC: free on Steam (developer 24 Entertainment, publisher NetEase Games). NetEase also names the official website and Epic as download sources.
• PS5: free on the PlayStation Store UK. The listing says "Online play required" and "In-game purchases optional". It doesn't say PlayStation Plus is needed to play; Plus Premium is only mentioned for cloud streaming.
• Xbox: free on the Xbox Store UK, which lists Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud play, and says the game is included with Game Pass.

Does Naraka Bladepoint sell random items?

Yes. Treasures are random: you don't know which reward you'll get before you open one. The PlayStation Store UK and the Xbox Store UK both list "In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items)" in the game's rating.

Unlike many games, NetEase publishes the odds. An Immortal Treasure has a 0.3% chance of a red (Extreme) reward, with one Extreme guaranteed within your first 100. The Aeon Treasure doubles that to 0.6% and guarantees an Extreme in every 100 opens. The game page works through what those guarantees mean, and our guide to how pity works explains the maths.

The age label differs between store pages. On 1 November 2026, PlayStation's UK game page showed PEGI 12, while the PlayStation Store UK and Xbox Store UK listings showed PEGI 16, all with the same content descriptors. PEGI's own entry has since settled it: on 7 November 2026 pegi.info showed PEGI 16, saying the game "received a PEGI 16 because it features the ability to purchase loot boxes". See what PEGI's paid random items label means. Our PEGI ratings guide explains the labels.
