Good news for Starhawk fans, future map packs planned for the game will be free to download and play! This ensures that the players don’t get divided in the game and overall satisfy the fans. There will be other paid DLC though. More after the break.

From Mr. Jobe’s post:
…there was a lot of discussion here at LightBox Interactive and Sony Santa Monica on how best to support the community and keep our player base all together as one cohesive group. We really didn’t like how in Warhawk when we released a new map pack, it forced these divisions on our players. And after we released three expansions, our player community was pretty fractured.
With Starhawk that ends! We are incredibly excited to announce that all map packs for Starhawk will be free. Yeah, you read that right…FREE. Whenever we release a map pack you won’t have to pay a friggin’ dime!
So when might we be getting our hands on one of these free map packs?
We’ve already started the early stages of our next map pack for you guys. Check out these very early sketches from the new planet of Cypress! A lush, swampy world that’s home to an abandoned research facility that many years ago was responsible for researching the mysteries of Rift Energy.
The image Mr. Jobe alluded to sits atop this post.
As for non-map pack DLC for the game, it’s coming and it’ll require some cash.
Now certainly we’ll have some paid DLC content in the future as well as our free map packs, but we’re still playing around with what that will be. We’re going to be looking to see what the player feedback is on Starhawk in the coming weeks to help steer the DLC that we develop for you all.
