Manor Lords is a labyrinth of complex battle strategy and well-thought-out building creation, and we’re here to tell you whether or not this plethora of content has a price tag.
Not every new title needs to cost much or even a single penny. The free-to-play market is hotter than ever, and live-service titles are rampant—you only need to look at Helldivers 2, Suicide Squad, and Skull and Bones in 2024 as examples.
The Manor Lords release is looking to show off its eye-catching battles, and developer Slavic Magic could benefit from making it free to play—but this isn’t always practical for a new IP on a lower budget.
Is Manor Lords free to play?
Technically no, Manor Lords is not free to play.
I do say technically, because if you are a Game Pass subscriber, Manor Lords is indeed free. However, because you have to pay for Game Pass, that falls under the category of having to pay to play—making Manor Lords not free.
How much does Manor Lords cost?
Manor Lords costs $39.99 on the US Steam. However, the game has regional pricing, which means that in your region, it might be cheaper.
Manor Lords publisher, Hooded Horse, already pointed out that the game comes at a “fair price” in every region. The game also has an early access launch discount of 25 percent that lasts until May 10, so now is the perfect time to pick the game up.
