This is just the beginning, and we can expect lots more sales, cross-overs, and other content to fill out the storefront in the coming weeks.īethesda is making a big push with this monetized storefront, and even if the core marketplace simply isn't very popular and is totally overshadowed by free mods, the studio won't give up on it-this is Bethesda's way to monetize Skyrim, Fallout 4 and future BGS titles in a meaningful way to ultimately pull in long-term revenues. It's worth noting that the following values were taken from the Creation Club beta test within Fallout 4 on PC, and I strongly believe the studio will continually update and evolve the storefront over time.
3x Pip-Boy Paint Jobs - 50 credits each | ~$0.50. Power Armor Onyx Paint Job - 100 credits | ~$1.00. Handmade Shotgun - 200 credits | ~$2.50. Horse Power Armor - 250 credits | ~$2.50. Modern Furniture Pack - 300 credits | ~$3. Morgan Yu's Space Suit (Prey crossover) - 400 credits | ~$4. Chinese Stealth Armor - 400 credits | ~$4. Modular Military Backpack - 400 credits | ~$4. 
Prototype Gauss Rifle - 400 credits | ~$4. Hellfire Power Armor - 500 credits | ~$5. Note: Pricing conversions are estimates based off of the 1500 CC pack tier ratio. 5500 Creation Club credits - $39.99 | 137.5 credits per $1 spentĬreation Club Storefront Selection - Fallout 4 (PC). 3000 Creation Club credits - $24.99 | 120 credits per $1 spent. 
1500 Creation Club credits - $14.99 | 100 credits per $1 spent. 750 Creation Club credits - $7.99 | 94 credits per $1 spent. The pricing scheme is also a reason for concern. The service will offer content to both Fallout 4 and Skyrim across PS4, Xbox One and PC. The service, which lives alongside free mods as an optional storefront that peddles one-time purchases of extra content for credits that are bought with real-money, only has a small offering of content available for Fallout 4. That being said, Creation Club is likely off to a rocky start. Creation Club is essentially Bethesda's take on microtransactions, but solidified into a platform nestled into its framework and leveraging the modding scene that its games are known for. 
After all, in today's industry landscape, full game sales aren't enough and studios are focusing on integrating microtransactions, DLC, and other such lucrative strategies into their games. I've been quite vocal for my support of Bethesda's Creation Club infrastructure on paper it's a great plan to add a recurring revenue stream to Bethesda Game Studios' massively iconic franchises to ensure long-term earnings.
