The modern age of gaming has seen the growth of competitive
games played online. This has led publishers to give players even more ways to
express themselves through their player avatars online, largely through the use
of optional cosmetics and characters purchasable through in-game currencies.
The same is true for the PlayStation platform, where highly popular titles like
Fortnite, Apex Legends and FIFA let you unlock in-game perks for an additional
fee.
Different games handle in-game cosmetics, XP boosts and
extra characters extremely differently. In some cases like with Fortnite, the
game itself is entirely free to play and try out, which goes some way to take
the sting out of any enticing in-game purchases you might want to buy. Here at Gaming Deals we compare the price of various digital currencies from a range
of UK retailers, helping you to get the best offer.
Optional cosmetics and XP boosts for online games are particularly
popular amongst younger PlayStation players, which might lead parents to worry
about storing their credit card information on their PSN profile. Not going
directly through the game, however, and opting to purchase in-game currency
cards can help manage player spending all while saving you money.
Much of the purchasable in-game items available in these games
is all about adding a personal stamp to your custom character. In Fortnite, for
instance, you can purchase your ideal tops, shorts and sometimes even a cape
(as well as pop culture characters), making you easily identifiable amongst
friends. Using game-specific currency cards lets you do this much cheaper.
