In the official announcement, alongside the September 15 release date and the listing of in-game entertainment like 'minigames, daily activities, events, rewards, lively social environments, and competitions' Sony Online also revealed the premium pricing structure for Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures . While the game won't cost anything in some areas like Sony Online's other major free-to-play game Free Realms, the game will also carry a $6-a-month 'Membership' subscription the company says will 'take the galactic action to the next level.' Free Realms' subscription service runs $5 a month.

The announcement also mentions the game's 'Station Cash,' which, while not tied to microtransactions, does seem to have a bit of cash value, given its ties to the 'Clone Wars Adventures Galactic Passport' that will be sold at retail locations. Along with 500 units of Station Cash and a few other undisclosed items, the Galactic Passport will give users a 90 day membership, the chance to obtain the Togruta playable character, and a Yoda monitor topper.
