A life-sim and adventure game hybrid, Disney Dreamlight Valley is a new Animal Crossing style game that allows players to create a character and enter Dreamlight Valley, a world where Disney and Pixar heroes and villains live. But, is Disney Dreamlight Valley free to play, we hear you ask?

For a game with a heavy emphasis on customisation and interacting with Disney characters, Disney Dreamlight Valley free to play would be a great proposition for Disney fans. It means that the game has a healthy playerbase and more fans will be willing to try it as opposed to if it is paid.

Below, we’ll detail everything we know about Disney Dreamlight Valley’s price and if you have to pay to play or not.

Is Disney Dreamlight Valley free to play?

Disney Dreamlight Valley will be free to play when it launches after its early access period. From September 6, 2022, players who purchase the Founder’s Pack or have Xbox Game Pass will receive early access to the game before it releases in that complete state.

The early access release of the game does not feature all of the mechanics and systems Gameloft want to implement. So, things like balancing, gameplay, and new content will be added and tweaked until it comes out of early access sometime in 2023.

So, right now the game isn’t free to play, but once it exits early access it will be and players will get exclusive items for being a Founder.

That’s all we know about Disney Dreamlight Valley free to play. To find out more information on the game, you can read our Disney Dreamlight Valley character creator guide that details how and what you can customise, or you can read our Disney Dreamlight Valley Game Pass guide, which has all the latest details on the magical adventure.
