CryEngine Launches Royalty Free on Steam

Crytek has launched its CryEngine subscription service exclusively through Steam.

Unlike Epic Games' recently adopted Unreal Engine 4 subscription service, the CryEngine model doesn't require developers to pay royalties, and on top of this the CryEngine subscription service gives developers full use of the engine for a monthly fee of $9.90 or €9.90.

CryTek have promised continuous updates and extensive documentation alongside a variety of tutorials, demo levels and assets to help bring developers up to speed with the technology.

Ryse : Son of Rome may have been developed for XBox One on the engine but that does not mean it's a Microsoft only thing. The Engine itself supports PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Wii U in addition to all things Redmond, WA.

So you too dear reader, can unleash the fevered imaginings of that cesspool you call a subconscious and all for less than the price of a World of Warcraft subscription.
