In an interview with GameStar, id Software’s Tim Willits confirmed that RAGE 2 will not feature any loot boxes. As Willits claimed, id Software and Avalanche Studios will offer a game that players will be able to immediately experience when they purchase it. However, Willits claimed that RAGE 2 will be based on the “Games as Service” model.
Here is what Willits said when asked about loot boxes:
“We will not have any Lootboxes, I can say for sure. We have this novel approach: You buy the game and then you play it.”
As for the “Games as Service” approach, Willits stated that id Software and Avalanche want people to play Rage 2 longer, and they think that they can bring some fun stuff that makes it possible (obviously via post-launch DLCs).
Willits concluded that they will talk about it in more detail as they move closer to the release of RAGE 2.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
