Live Service

A game model designed for ongoing engagement, regularly updated with new content such as seasons, battle passes, events, and patches rather than delivered as a complete, finished product. Live-service games include Fortnite, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and League of Legends. The model typically uses a free-to-play entry point with revenue from cosmetic microtransactions or battle passes. Success requires a dedicated development team maintaining the game indefinitely.
